Abstract:
This article presents a model developed in
MATLAB/SIMULINK, for the control of the vehicle’s
air conditioner compressor with a PWM signal. This
signal is used to control the solenoid valve of the
compressor. The model was created to allow in the
future the study of the compressor’s behavior in
different operating conditions of the vehicle to improve
the functioning of the internal combustion motor and
optimize the efficiency of the air conditioner system.
The model will be converted to a software script to be
used in the car together with the AutoBox from dSpace.
