DRIVING INNOVATION THROUGH SIMULATION

From Concept Design to HIL, SIL Validation

Combining Math, Signal-Based, Physical and 3D Modeling

HVAC EXAMPLE

Abstract: model

We have created, using the 1D modeling approach, an easy-to-use/physics-based

model in VisSim™ for managing heating, ventilating , air conditioning (HVAC) and

controls in vehicle cabins to be used as a tool to:

1. Improve the passenger comfort

2. Monitoring the electric consumption due to the A/C usage

3. Improve the concept design of HVAC Systems

Abstract: objective

The work is about the analysis of the influence of some input variables on the

cabin temperature trend during the cooling down phase. The analysis is carried out

by using HyperStudy®.

AVERAGE AIR TEMPERATURE IN

CABIN ALONG THE SIMULATION

DESIGN VARIABLES

RESPONSES

- System parameters

- Modeling parameters

Abstract: benefits of the study

• Better understanding of the system

• Identify the most influence parameters on the

studied responses

• If, as design variables, we consider some modeling

parameters, the knowledge of their influence on the

responses is useful during the validation phase

• In a second phase, the analysis could be useful to

choose the most important parameters to be used

for optimizing a specific phenomenon of interest

HVAC System Model

HVAC CABIN

• Fast exploration of the design space:

o Runs are very fast

o No need of modifying 3D CAD or CFD

grids for different configurations

• Valuable insight of the overall system performance

• Easy integration in the simulation environment of the

control algorithms

• Possibility to monitor the humidity variation inside the

• Easy managing of input parameters

• Useful in the early stages of the product development as

a design tool

Vehicle HVAC: 1D approach strength

WATER VAPOR LOADS

Vehicle HVAC: 1D approach weakness

• Hard to analyze the flow and temperature

distribution inside the cabin taking into account the

cabin geometry

• Hard to monitor the temperature distribution along

the human body surface

• Not usually used as a verification tool where

experimental tests or CFD analysis are preferred.

Top Level Simulation Interface

Analysis Results: Final temperature Tf

1. k_hA: The higher is the evaporator cooling capacity (k_hA) the lower is the cabin

regime temperature since temperature of the inlet air in cabin is lower.

2. Xr_envi: If the inlet air humidity to evaporator is high, a big amount of the

evaporator capacity is involved in the water vapor condensation process rather

than in the air cooling so that the temperature of the inlet flow to the cabin and

the final temperature in cabin are higher.

For every simulation, all the

other factors are taken at the

middle value.

Let’s Get Real

• Real-time a must

• Memory restrictions

• Word size restrictions

• Debugging information not easily accessible

• Need to configure A/D, D/A, CAN, PWM, I2C, ….

Implementation Concerns

EFFICIENCY OF AUTOMATIC CODE GENERATORS

Will it fit into memory?

Will it be fast enough?

Can I read it?

SUPPORT OF ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS

Quadrature encoder

Event capture

CAN, I2C, serial, SPI, ADC, GPIO, …

ISN’T IT BETTER TO HAND-CODE?

Code Efficiency

Autogenerated code as efficient as hand-coded

Fixed Point operations are more efficient

Why Fixed Point?

Fixed Point: Overflow Detection and AutoScaling

Debugging in the Real World
