ISG Mode 시 축냉 시스템의 냉방 효과에 대한 실험적 연구

Recently regulations regarding CO2 emission and fuel economy of automobile are being released. To reduce fuel consumption through decreasing compressor driving time, ISG (Idle-Stop and Go) mode is being widely applied to internal combustion engine and hybrid vehicle. In this paper, cooling effect of cold storage system which can provide thermal comfort during ISG mode is validated. The cold storage system consists of the evaporator including cold storage material inside and other parts which are being used in conventional air-conditioning system. In this system, other additional part is not needed for cold storage function. This paper presents experimental results of cooling performance during ISG mode and the vehicle test was conducted both in climate wind tunnel and on road. From previous research, it can be assumed that the outlet air temperature below 15℃ is in the thermal comfort range.6), 7) In climate wind tunnel test, cold storage system could keep thermal comfort during 221~255 seconds which is longer than conventional system by 35~46%. In urban traffic test, which average stop time in accordance with traffic signal was 66.3 seconds, cold storage system could cover 89% stops without compressor restart keeping thermal comfort. Whereas conventional system should restart compressor in 56% stop to keep outlet air temperature below 15℃.
