Popis: Reducing fuel consumption and ensure occupants thermal comfort are two important considerations when designing a vehicle air conditioning system. By using direct current electric compressor, speed of compressor can be controlled by changing the frequency of the inverter. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was developed to imitate the performance of human expert operators by encoding their knowledge in the form of linguistic rules. The system is installed to a 5-door compact car with 1.2cc four-cylinder engine with data acquisition system to monitor the temperature of the cabin, coefficient of performance (COP) and fuel consumption. Temperature set-point of 22°C with original belt-driven, on/off and FLC electric direct current compressor at one hour experimental periods. The experimental results indicate that the FLC can save more fuel compared to on/off controller and belt-driven compressor.
