The efficiency of thermal systems (HVAC, engine cooling, transmission, and power steering) has improved greatly over the past few years. Operating these systems typically requires a significant amount of energy, however, which could adversely affect vehicle performance. To provide customers the level of comfort that they demand in an energy-efficient manner, innovative approaches must be developed.

Vehicle Thermal Management : Heat Exchangers & Climate Control is an essential resource for engineers and designers working on thermal systems, presenting the most recent and relevant technical papers that focus on this important vehicle component.

Chapters include:

  • Heating and Air Conditioning
  • Engine Cooling
  • Underhood Thermal Environment
