TD 1.8 - Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Cooling (HVAC)

Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Cooling (TD 1.8) will develop new eco-friendly HVAC systems, based on natural gases, with a low Life-Cycle cost and better integrated in the vehicle; standardized interfaces and integration of a heat pump are envisaged as well.

Implementation within IP1 projects


WP18 - Eco-friendly HVAC with natural refrigerants

  • Push the development of eco-friendly HVAC systems with natural refrigerants to overcome the limitation of artificial refrigerants within the European Union
  • Gain a margin for European HVAC-suppliers in relation to developments outside of Europe
  • Reduce energy consumption of vehicles

WP07 - HVAC FIELD TEST

  • Test of eco-friendly HVAC systems with natural refrigerants in real operation
  • Overcome the limitation of artificial refrigerants within the European Union
  • Gain a margin for European HVAC-suppliers in relation to developments outside of Europe

WP08 - HVAC TEST – RESULT EVALUATION

  • Finalise the test of eco-friendly HVAC systems with natural refrigerants in order to increase the TRL to 7 so they are ready for application for new vehicles and retrofitting of existing vehicles
  • Compare the behaviour of eco-friendly HVAC systems with conventional systems with artificial refrigerants
