Automotive HVAC test dummies are essential tools for evaluating heating and air conditioning systems used in the passenger compartments of cars, trucks, or public transportation. These dummies provide accurate data to help researchers and engineers optimize vehicle comfort and performance.
The HVAC dummy testing system is used for air conditioning system calibration and cabin thermal comfort testing and evaluation. It simulates human seating within the cabin, measuring cabin climate conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity, thermal radiation, and wind speed. The system has established a "3D numerical dummy model" for CFD simulation development and optimization analysis of automotive cabin HVAC thermal comfort, and evaluation models such as the Berkeley-Zhang model suitable for the physiological characteristics of Chinese people in non-uniform and transient automotive environments. The HVAC dummy testing system fills a gap in domestic basic research and evaluation model software development in key automotive testing equipment and in the fields of human thermal physiology and thermal comfort.
Improves heating and air conditioning systems in transportation vehicles
The automotive HVAC test system is used to evaluate heating and air conditioning systems used in the passenger compartments of cars, trucks, or public transportation, and to test and evaluate air quality in enclosed spaces.
More Data Sensors
The data acquisition system integrates data sensors for air velocity, air temperature, heat flux, relative humidity, and pressure distribution.
The Automotive HVAC Manikin is designed to evaluate thermal comfort and air distribution inside automobile, truck, and indoor HVAC environments.
It simulates the thermal response of a seated human occupant, providing accurate data on airflow, temperature, radiant heat, and humidity distribution.
This system is widely used for:
Vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system design and validation
Passenger comfort optimization in automotive and public transport cabins
Indoor building HVAC testing, including air circulation and comfort assessment
R&D and academic studies on human thermal comfort and airflow dynamics
The vehicle HVAC testing dummy and its supporting system, with their outstanding characteristics such as accurately simulating human thermal response and integrating multi-dimensional data sensors, have not only achieved remarkable results in improving the heating and air conditioning systems of transport vehicles, but have also been widely used in various fields such as vehicle HVAC system design verification, passenger cabin comfort optimization, indoor building HVAC testing, and related R&D research. Its significant contribution in filling gaps in related domestic fields provides solid support for the research and development of thermal comfort in my country's automotive industry and building environment sector, driving the industry to continuously advance to higher levels.
