Week 2 - Manufacturing Testing and Thermal Analysis
This week consists of tweaking the design to allow for faster manufacturing. However, there were problems with the 3D printers, so time was spent on re-calibrating them. We were able to successfully make the parts. However, further manufacturing changes will probably be needed. In the mean time, thermal analysis was conducted on the full scale model, based on the this paper (https://www.sfu.ca/~mbahrami/pdf/2013/Comprehensive%20Modeling%20of%20Vehicle%20Air%20Conditioning%20Loads%20Using%20Heat%20Balance%20Method.pdf). Initial calculations shows that the full scale requires that the climate control system would need to to remove about 12 kW of heat from the interior of the cabin. Further refinement of the calculation will be needed.
