Today ventilation, heating and air-conditioning systems
are very important elements for providing passenger
comfort. The large number of vehicle with air conditioning to service the systems makes a basic knowledge of air-conditioning system. The ventilation system is to provide outside air to the passenger compartment. In this the ram air flows into the car when it is moving. When the car is not moving, a steady flow of ram air can be produced by the heater fan. It has been designed to handle with cooling system. The primary function is to provide comfortable temperature. The primary components of the system are Heat core, Heater control valve, the blower motor and the fan. Mechanical Engineering without production and manufacturing is meaningless and inseparable. Production and manufacturing process deals with conversion of raw materials inputs to finished products as per required dimensions, specification and efficiently using recent technology. The new developments and requirements inspired us to think of new improvements in air conditioning Engineering field. Nowadays heater as well as cooler is available in market separately. Hence we decided to take over both applications in a same system. It’s a new step ahead in air conditioning Engineering field. Our project fulfilled all our requirements as our thoughts. Heater can be used in winter and cooler in summer. Hence it is a multipurpose project. Compressor Condenser Evaporator Receiver/Dryer Heater Control Valve The compressor is heart of automotive AC system. It separates the high pressure and low pressure sides of the system. The primary function is to draw the low pressure and low temperature vapor from the evaporator and compress this vapor into high- temperature, high pressure vapor. The secondary function is to circulate the refrigerant through the AC system It is driven by the engines crankshaft via a drive belt. The purpose of condenser is to condense the high pressure, high temperature vapor coming from the compressor The condenser consists of coiled refrigerant tubing mounted in series of thin cooling fins It is achieved when the refrigerant vapor enters the inlet of condenser and hot vapor passes down to the condenser coil This process causes a large quantity of heat to be transferred to the outside air and the refrigerant to change from a high-pressure hot vapor to high-pressure warm liquid It consists of a refrigerant coil mounted in a series of thin cooling fins. Upon receiving refrigerant dryer, heat from the core surface is lost to the boiling and vaporizing refrigerant which is cooler than the core, thereby; cooling the core. The air passing over the evaporator loses its heat to cooler surface of the core, there by cooling the air inside the car. It controls the flow of coolant into the heater core from the engine In a closed position, the valve allows no flow of hot coolant to the heater core, keeping it cool. In an open position, allow heated coolant to circulate through the heater core The blower motor is located in heater housing assembly, it is used to ensure air circulate throughout the system The major components of our project are already discussed above chapters. The motor is coupled with impeller blades. The motor runs during the air cooler button ON, the impeller blades starts rotating. The water pump is used to circulate the water to the blower unit. The forced air is flow through the water which is sprayed by water pump, so that the cold air produced. The switch control is used to ON/OFF solar air collar circuit and heater circuit. Adoption of energy efficient heat recovery devices like air to air heat exchangers is to pre cool the fresh air by indirect heat exchange; control of relative humidity through indirect heat exchange rather than use of duct heaters after chilling. Adopting of variable air volume systems; adopting of sun film application for heat reflection; optimizing lighting loads in the air conditioned areas. This system is usually economical if small variations in temperature are acceptable. This system has the added advantage of allowing the chillers to be operated at periods of low electricity demand to reduce peak demand charges. Low tariffs offered by some electric utilities for operation at nighttime can also be taken advantage of by using a storage facility. An added benefit is that lower ambient temperature at night lowers condenser temperature and thereby increases the COP. The Heater consists of heating element and single phase power supply. The single phase power supply is given to the heating coil, so that the coil produces hot flame. This hot flame is rashly forced out by the blower. Simple in construction This system is noiseless in operation It is portable, so it can be transferred easily from one place to other place Maintenance cost is low The air cooler cum heater is used in Home

By adding control circuit, we can maintain the room
temperature at required level. In the busy world of today comfort plays a very important role in a man’s life. Depending on the nature of the load, it is economical to provide a chilled water storage facility with very good cold insulation. An added benefit is that lower ambient temperature at night lowers condenser temperature and thereby increases the COP. In the olden days men had to adjust to the surroundings but in modern life, our project developed a lot that surroundings adjust to the men’s needs, i. e passenger comfort.
