Abstract: As the most important item of the development of dual evaporator automobile air conditioning system, the components design and the system matching can dramatically affect the stability and cooling performance of the system. Considering the cooling load of the vehicle and comfortable requirement of the passenger, a dual evaporator automobile air conditioning system is designed which can be used in SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) and MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) in this paper. The performance of the components and system are validated by bench test and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation, and finally tested by vehicle max pull down test. The result shows that the stability and cooling performance of this system can both meet the requirements, and this system is a quite meaningful case for the development of dual evaporator automobile air conditioning system.
