一种评估汽车热环境的新方法已经在稳态条件和nori稳态条件下进行了测试，如预热期（如冬季）和冷却期（如夏季）。这项研究是在一个风洞中进行的，在-18°C和+400°C之间的温度下，可以实现高达130 km/h的空速。在测试过程中，还模拟了汽车上真实的太阳负载。在驾驶员和前排乘客位置测试了三种不同的测量技术，即: 脚部和头部水平的空气温度传感器，测量脚部、腹部和头部三个水平的等效温度的热舒适传感器；最后，一个热人体模型可以测量16个不同身体部位的等效温度或热量损失。最后两种方法中使用的等效温度结合了辐射（太阳负荷）、空气速度和空调系统引起的空气温度的影响。在使用热假人的测试中，对正常驾驶情况进行了良好的模拟。 热人体模型被加热，热模拟人。这在受限空间（如汽车）中尤其重要，因为进气口的气流分布不均匀，并且受到驾驶员和乘客在场的强烈影响。此外，通过车窗的太阳辐射会对车内人员造成不对称的热负荷，座椅会对身体的某些部位进行隔热，从而大大减少热量损失。如果只测量空气温度，则不考虑这些因素。 本文介绍了所有方法的结果，并进行了比较。单位:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1986年，第92卷，pt。1B，旧金山

A new method for the evaluation of the thermal environment in automobiles has been tested in steady-state conditions and nori-steady-state conditions like warm-up periods (as in-wintertime) and, cool-down periods (as in summertime). The investigation was conducted in a wind tunnel where airspeeds of up to 130 km/h were achievable at temperatures between -18°C and +400C. A realistic sun load on the car was also simulated during the test.Three different measuring techniques have been tested at both the driver and front passenger positions, namely: air temperature sensors at feet and head level, thermal -comfort sensors that measure the equivalent temperature positioned at three levels, feet, abdomen and head; and finally, a thermal manikin that measures the equivalent temperature or heat-loss for 16 different body segments. The equivalent temperatures used in the two last methods combine the influence from radiation (sun load), air velocity, and air temperature caused by the air-conditioning system. In the test with the thermal manikin, a good simulation of the normal driving situation is created. The thermal manikin is heated and thermally simulates a human being. This is particularly important in a confined space such as a car because the airflow from inlets is nonuniformly distributed and strongly influenced by the presence of driver and passengers. In addition, the sun's radiation through the windows causes an asymmetric thermal load on the persons in the car and the seats thermally insulate some parts of the body, from which the heat loss is greatly reduced. These factors are not taken into account if only air temperature is measured. This paper presents results from all the methods and a comparison is discussed.Units: SI
