That innovation of new thing is should be at low cost and economic usage. This project work is to use in automobiles for Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning to passengers in cabin, for all weather conditions. Now a days in many automobiles using HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) for ventilation, heating and air conditioning. But they are more costly compared to ordinary AC’s (Air Conditioning) in automobiles. In this project we have using a waste of heat energy from engine. So that HVAC is working with low cost and more efficient than ordinary air conditioning. 1 INTRODUCTION Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comforted acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels and senior living facilities, medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals, on ships and submarines, and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors. Ventilating or ventilation(the Vin HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. 2 COMPONENTS 2.1 HEATER CORE A heater core is a radiator-like device used in heating the cabin of a vehicle. Hot coolant from the vehicle's engine is passed through a winding tube of the core, a heat exchanger between coolant and cabin air. Fins attached to the core tubes serve to increase surface for heat transfer to air that is forced past them, by a fan, thereby heating the passenger compartment. The internal combustion engine in most cars and trucks is cooled by a water and antifreeze mixture that is circulated through the engine and radiator by a water pump to enable the radiator to give off engine heat to the atmosphere. Volume 5, Issue 10, October/2018 Page No:966 JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 Some of that water can be diverted through the heater core to give some engine heat to the cabin, or adjust the temperature of the conditioned air. A heater core is a small radiator located under the dashboard of the vehicle, and it consists of conductive aluminum or brass tubing with cooling fins to increase surface area. Hot coolant passing through the heater core gives off heat before returning to the engine cooling circuit. Fig.1 heater core 2.2 ENGINE Fig. 2 cut section view of IC engine An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. Heat engines burn a fuel to create heat which is then used to do work. electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion; pneumatic motors use compressed air; and clockwork motors in wind-up toys use elastic energy. In biological systems, molecular motors, like myosin’s in muscles, use chemical energy to create forces and eventually motion. The word engine derives from Old French engine, from the Latin ingenious–the root of the word ingenious. Pre-industrial weapons of war, such as catapults, trebuchets and battering rams, were called siege engines, and knowledge of how to construct them was often treated as a military secret. The word gin, as in cotton gin, is short for engine. Most mechanical devices invented during the industrial revolution were described as engines the steam engine being a notable example. However, the original steam engines, such as those by Thomas Savory, were not mechanical engines but pumps. In this manner, a fire engine in its original form was merely a water pump, with the engine being transported to the fire by horses. Volume 5, Issue 10, October/2018 Page No:967 JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 In modern usage, the term engine typically describes devices, like steam engines and internal combustion engines, that burn or otherwise consume fuel to perform mechanical work by exerting a torque or linear force (usually in the form of thrust). Devices converting heat energy into motion are commonly referred to simply as engines. Examples of engines which exert a torque include the familiar automobile gasoline and diesel engines, as well as turbo shafts. Examples of engines which produce thrust include turbofans and rockets. Fig. 3 IC engine cooling system 2.3 SCREWS A screw is a type of fastener sometimes similar to a bolt (see Differentiation between bolt and screw below), typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread) or just a well thread. Types of screw 1. Wood screws 2. Machine screws 3. Hex cap screws 4. Lug bolts and head bolts 5. Lag screw 2.4 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM Internal combustion engine cooling uses either air or a liquid to remove the waste heat from an internal combustion engine. For small or special purpose engines, cooling using air from the atmosphere makes for a lightweight and relatively simple system. Watercraft can use water directly from the surrounding environment to cool their engines. For water-cooled engines on aircraft and surface vehicles, waste heat is transferred from a closed loop of water pumped through the engine to the surrounding atmosphere by a radiator. Volume 5, Issue 10, October/2018 Page No:968 JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 Water has a higher heat capacity than air, and can thus move heat more quickly away from the engine, but a radiator and pumping system add weight, complexity, and cost. Higher-power engines generate more waste heat, but can move more weight, meaning they are generally water-cooled. Radial engines allow air to flow around each cylinder directly, giving them an advantage for air cooling over straight engines, flat engines, and V engines. Rotary engines have a similar configuration, but the cylinders also continually rotate, creating an air flow even when the vehicle is stationary. CONCLUCION Present days automobiles are having ordinary air conditioning with high cost. The main disadvantage is, that is used for only cooling purpose with some specified weather condition. In this project, compared with modern HVAC to the ordinary air conditioning in vehicles. Efficiency of this HVAC project comparatively higher than other vehicle air conditioning. So it is most suitable for only low level price automobiles. In future, this type of HVAC used in more vehicles, because it uses low power and economic usage.

  • Lubricants Operation Automotive Air Conditioning Lubricants Are Specially Formulated Because of How and Where They Operate
    Lubricants Operation Automotive air conditioning lubricants are specially formulated because of how and where they operate. Air conditioning oils must be “dry” (having little or no water content) and mix with the system’s refrigerant so they can circulate. They must lubricate system components under temperatures ranging from -30°F to 200°F. Refrigerant oil is circulated throughout the system by the compressor. Different oils are used in automotive A/C systems, based on the type of refrigerant. Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil is used for R-134a refrigerant. The three types of PAG oil are: • PAG-R for rotary compressors • PAG-S for swash plate compressors, and • PAG-F for the FOT system on the Quest. Refer to the service manual for the correct oil for the system you are servicing. NOTE: PAG oil is very hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air) and should be exposed to the atmosphere as little as possible while charging an R134a system. Malfunctions Oil contamination, including moisture, can cause system failures. Improper lubrication can cause abnormal wear to the compressor as well as corrosion to other system components. Different types of refrigerant oil (even PAG oils) are not interchangeable and should never be mixed. Because vehicles with R-12 systems continue coming in for service, it is important to remember that R-12 systems use mineral oil instead of PAG oil. Adding PAG oil to an R-12 system (or vice versa) can cause seal failure and refrigerant leakage. In the old R-12 systems, lines and hoses relied on refrigerant oil to maintain seal integrity and prevent leakage at hose and line fittings.

  • Cooling System Overview the Cooling System
    Cooling System Overview Below is an explanation of this system's operation The Cooling System The purpose of the engine's cooling system is to remove excess heat from the engine, to keep the engine operating at its most efficient temperature, and to get the engine up to the correct temperature as soon as possible after starting. Ideally, the cooling system keeps the engine running at its most efficient temperature no matter what the operating conditions are. As fuel is burned in the engine, about one-third of the energy in the fuel is converted into power. Another third goes out the exhaust pipe unused, and the remaining third becomes heat energy. A cooling system of some kind is necessary in any internal combustion engine. If no cooling system were provided, parts would melt from the heat of the burning fuel, and the pistons would expand so much they could not move in the cylinders (called "seize"). The cooling system of a water-cooled engine consists of: the engine's water jacket, a thermostat, a water pump, a radiator and radiator cap, a cooling fan (electric or belt- driven), hoses, the heater core, and usually an expansion (overflow) tank. Fuel burning engines produce enormous amounts of heat; temperatures can reach up to 4,000 degrees F when the air-fuel mixture burns. However, normal operating temperature is about 2,000 degrees F. The cooling system removes about one-third of the heat produced in the combustion chamber. The exhaust system takes away much of the heat, but parts of the engine, such as the cylinder walls, pistons, and cylinder head, absorb large amounts of the heat.

Progressively, the design of ground vehicle heating and cooling management systems require analytical and empirical models to establish a basis for real time control algorithms. One of the key elements in this computer controlled system is the smart thermostat valve which replaces the traditional wax-based unit. The thermostat regulates the coolant flow through the radiator and/or engine bypass to control the heat exchange between the radiator’s coolant fluid and the ambient air. The electric water pump improves upon this concept by prescribing the coolant flow rate based on the engine’s overall operation and the driver commands rather than solely on the crankshaft speed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of heat expansion in an internal combustion automobile engine. Overheating has catastrophic consequence; allowing the engine to overheat even for a short period of time (minutes) cause the piston and rings to expand to the point that they are too large and tight in the cylinders. When this happens the cylinder damaged beyond repair. The result of these findings reveals that rapid expansion excess overheating, system leakages, wrong coolant, bad thermostat, faulty radiator and the use of dissimilar metals in the combustion chamber.

  • When Good Radiators Go Bad It Can Happen Very Quickly, Even in a Matter of Weeks Or Even Days
    Tech Tips JOBS When good radiators go bad It can happen very quickly, even in a matter of weeks or even days. A perfectly good radiator can develop pin-hole leaks that are an indicator of possible electrolysis. Harbour Radiator’s Garry O’Brien, explains what to look for and how to prevent it from happening again. Electrolysis can be very damaging to any aluminium component that comes into contact with the coolant in any vehicle. If you have a radiator, heater JOBS core, or even a thermostat housing or cylinder head that is leaking coolant from tiny holes, electrolysis is usually the cause. If you only replace the failed part, you may see the same car back again in a matter of weeks, or even days, with the same problem. Knowing when and how to look for electrolysis and how to eliminate it, will steer you clear of what can end up being an expensive and reputation ruining experience. Electrolysis is caused by electrical current travelling itself. This type of electrolysis is a chemical reaction is suffering from chemical electrolysis caused by through the coolant, turning the cooling/heating between the coolant and the aluminium, that is ‘worn out’ coolant. After replacing the damaged system into an unintended circuit. Once this stray basically like a battery. When the coolant is “worn parts, flush and refill the cooling system and repeat electrical current occurs, any metal that the coolant out”, it acts like acid in a battery, allowing dissimilar the voltage test. touches can be dissolved into the coolant. metals to create voltage and a current.

  • A/C and Heat Systems Overview
    A/C And Heat Systems Overview Below is an overview of this system's operation The Air Conditioning and Heating System Not only do we depend on our cars to get us where we want to go, we also depend on them to get us there without discomfort. We expect the heater to keep us warm when it's cold outside, and the air conditioning system to keep us cool when it's hot. We get heat from the heater core, sort of a secondary radiator, which is part of the car's cooling system. We get air conditioning from the car's elaborate air conditioning system. Despite its relatively small size, the cooling system has to deal with an enormous amount of heat to protect the engine from friction and the heat of combustion. The cooling system has to remove about 6,000 BTU of heat per minute. This is a lot more heat than we need to heat a large home in cold weather. It's good to know that some of this heat can be put to the useful purpose of keeping us warm. Air conditioning makes driving much more comfortable in hot weather. Your car's air conditioner cleans and dehumidifies (removes excess moisture), the outside air entering your car. It also has the task of keeping the air at the temperature you select. These are all big jobs. How do our cars keep our "riding environment" the way we like it? Most people think the air conditioning system's job is to add "cold" air to the interior of the car.

  • Radiator and Heater Core Failures? Check for Electrolysis
    Radiator and Heater Core failures? Check for Electrolysis The ALLDATA Tech-Assist Team Repeated or low-mileage coolant leaks from a radiator or heater core may be caused by electrolysis. Electrolysis is electricity flowing through your cooling system which causes an electrochemical charge across the metal components and passageways. It usually occurs if there is a corroded, lose or weak ground for one or more electrical components. The result is rapid corrosion and severe damage to the components in your cooling system including discoloration, pitting, flaking, and pinhole leaks. To tell if a cooling system is being affected by electrolysis, you will need to test the amount of voltage in the cooling system. Locating the Source Warning: Be careful opening the radiator or gas bottle when the engine is hot. Coolant can immediately boil when exposed to atmospheric pressure, causing a burn hazard. A simple and effective way to determine which electrical component is causing the problem is to first, connect the negative lead of a volt/ohm meter to the battery ground and inserting the positive lead of the volt meter into the coolant in the radiator or overflow/gas bottle. NOTE: If the radiator neck is metal, be sure not to contact it or the core with the positive lead. Start a preferably cold engine and have someone switch components on and off one at a time as you monitor the volt/ohm meter. In some instances, fuses will need to be removed to switch an accessory off like the HVAC blower motor. If the test results are more than 0.10 Volts, it indicates that electrical current from that component is using the cooling system to find a ground.

  • Coolant Flow Radiator and Engine Block the Thermostat
    Coolant Flow Radiator And Engine Block Below is an explanation of this system's operation The Thermostat Just like your body needs to warm up when you begin to exercise, your car's engine needs to warm up when it starts its exercise. The thermostat provides control for your engine's warm-up period. The thermostat is located between the engine and the radiator. This little temperature-sensitive spring valve stays closed during engine warm-up. When the thermostat is closed, it prevents coolant from leaving the engine and circulating through the radiator until the correct running temperature is reached. The correct running temperature for most engines is between 180 degrees F and 200 degrees F. When the right temperature is reached, the spring valve opens, allowing coolant to circulate through the radiator to be cooled-- almost like our bodies begin to perspire after we've warmed-up. The temperature at which the thermostat is designed to open is called its rating, and may be stamped on the body. The 180 Degrees F thermostat begins to open at (you guessed it!) 180 Degrees F and is fully opened at 200 degrees F. Different engines use different temperature thermostats. Some high range thermostats maintain engine operating temperatures above 200 degrees F. This causes the engine to burn up more pollutants and aids in emissions control. However the range for your thermostat depends on the type of your engine, load requirements, weather, and other variables. Most thermostats are the "pellet" type; the name comes from the wax pellet that expands as the engine coolant warms.
