Abstract

For a safe journey, not only vehicle safety systems but also the thermal comfort of the human body should be considered. In addition to the passengers during the journey, it is extremely important for the driver to feel comfortable while driving. In this study, some modifications have been made to a conventional vehicle air conditioner by considering the thermal comfort of the human body. It has been calculated that a more comfortable driving experience can be achieved with a more effective air conditioning system. For this purpose, experimental studies were carried out by redesigning the driver's seat of a car. As a result of the studies, the best results in cooling processes were obtained for average revolutions. The obtained findings have been supported and interpreted with graphic outputs.
Güvenli bir yolculuk için araç güvenlik sistemleri kadar insan vücudunun isil konforu da dikkate alinmalidir. Seyahat esnasinda yolcularin yani sira özellikle sürücünün araç kullanirken kendini rahat hissetmesi güvenlik açisindan son derece önemlidir. Bu çalismada insan vücudunun isil konforu dikkate alinarak konvansiyonel bir araç klimasi üzerinde bazi degisiklikler yapilmistir. Bu sayede daha etkili bir iklimlendirme ile daha konforlu bir sürüs gerçeklestirilebilecegi hesaplanmistir. Bunun için bir otomobilin sürücü koltugu yeniden dizayn edilerek deneysel çalismalar yapilmistir. Çalismalar sonunda sogutma proseslerinde en iyi sonuçlar ortalama devirler için elde edilmistir. Elde edilen bulgular grafik çiktilarla desteklenmis ve yorumlanmistir.
