Abstract

Refrigerating effect is the amount of heat that each pound of refrigerant retains from the refrigerated space to deliver helpful cooling. This effect is known as Refrigeration. Refrigeration systems are also widely used to provide thermal comfort to humans via air conditioning. The “Steam Compression Cooling System” is used by the current Automotive Air conditioning system, which absorbs and removes heat from inside the vehicle. To drive the Compressor of the refrigeration system, the system uses the power of the motor shaft as the input power, but because of this, there is some loss of engine power also. The loss of engine power for VCR operation may be neglected by using another refrigeration system, namely a "vapor absorption refrigeration system". For that, launch of a new Hybrid Air conditioning system for cars is required. Experimental work is done by using the change of energy source to drive the compressor. In this system, An Internal Combustion Engine shaft drives the compressor, when the engine is running. And as a hybrid, DC electric motor which is powered by a lead-acid battery also drives the Compressor. An electric motor supplies the DC power, which generates electrical energy to charge the battery. Experimental work is done by using the change of energy source to drive the compressor. In this system, An Internal Combustion Engine shaft drives the compressor, when the engine is running. And as a hybrid, DC electric motor which is powered by a lead-acid battery also drives the Compressor. An electric motor supplies the DC power, which generates electrical energy to charge the battery. With this system, fuel consumption is much lower when using air conditioning and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. The concept of the air conditioning system in presented in this document.
