| Popis: | The energy consumption in buildings, transportation, services or processes has been raising constantly in the last years becoming top priority in research fields. As its impact on the environment has become more and more obvious, the transportation sector has been searching for solutions to lower its influence on future generations. Electric vehicles, proposed as an alternative to the internal combustion engine vehicles, still face some difficulties in driving range, cost, and for colder climates, passenger comfort conditions. As the HVAC system represents the highest energy consumption from the auxiliary systems in electric vehicles, this paper proposes to analyse to condensation phenomenon inside the vehicle’s cabin, especially on the windshield. The numerical approach assesses several scenarios of air velocities, temperatures, and thermal power inputs in order to establish the best configuration at the lowest energy cost. |
