Abstract
These days the alignment of radiator and condenser in the vehicle front is the major trend. Due to this alignment, the radiator characteristics are one-sidedly affected by condenser radiating heat, which will cause deterioration in the engine cooling performance at high engine speed and high heat load vehicle operation when air conditioning (A/C) capacity becomes excess.
Studies were made on the effects that condenser operation have on radiator characteristics. Results showed that controlling the condenser operation characteristics will provide improved A/C and engine cooling performance in the vehicle system.
This paper will discuss the details of the above-mentioned analyses with focus on the vehicle characteristics of front engine, front drive (FF) vehicles and the results of vehicle proving tests.
