Abstract
This paper reviews the elements necessary to design and develop integrated air conditioning and heating systems for trucks. Included is discussion of the pertinent sub-systems: dash mounted air handling components, air distribution system, operator controls, refrigeration circuit, electrical system and vacuum system. Also reviewed are the physiological factor involved in heating and air conditioning.
