Original abstract

The article presents new trends in automobile air-conditioning, and their comparison. The attention is focused on the control system in automobile air-conditioning. Additionally, the attention is paid to physiologically controlled air-conditioning. In order to reach an optimum microclimate, thermal comfort sensors or various sets of sensors are utilized to measure, constantly during the run, temperatures, velocities and humidity of air, as well as a heat flow from solar radiation. Based on the obtained data, the control system evaluates optimum temperatures and adjusts them automatically. Besides that, the control also uses different sensors of outdoor air pollution and controls switching of outdoor and indoor air circulation according to the measured concentrations. The article also concerns zone air-conditioning systems enabling air-conditioning in more zones. A perspective four zones air-conditioning system can ensure an optimum microclimate for every passenger in the automobile.

Příspěvek uvádí nové trendy v oblasti klimatizace automobilů. Pozornost je věnována systému regulace klimatizace v automobilech. Především je pozornost zaměřena na fyziologicky regulovanou klimatizaci, která využívá pro dosažení optimálního mikroklimatu v kabině automobilu několik sad čidel, která během jízdy nepřetržitě měří teploty, rychlost a vlhkost vzduchu a také tepelný tok od slunečního záření. Z těchto údajů regulační systém vyhodnotí optimální teploty a automaticky je nastavuje. Kromě toho tato regulace používá snímač znečištění venkovního ovzduší a na základě naměřených koncentrací řídí přepínání vnější a vnitřní cirkulace vzduchu. V příspěvku je také věnována pozornost zónovým klimatizačním systémům, které umožňují klimatizovat kabinu automobilu ve více zónách. Perspektivní čtyř zónová klimatizace umožňuje vytvořit každému členu osádky automobilu optimální mikroklima.
