Increasing the Comfort of the Work Environment of Ground Transport-Technological Machines by Optimizing the Thermal Energy Balance of the Microclimate
Author(s): Konstantin V. Glemba*, Yuri I. Averyanov and Alexander V. Gritsenko
The existing cabins of ground transport-technological machines have large glass surfaces to achieve enhanced visibility. In the warm seasons this leads to an increase in heat penetration due to the solar insolation. This leads to some issues as, on the one hand, operators need increased visibility in their cabins, but on the other hand, the thermal influence of solar insolation on the operator’s body must be reduced. Therefore, it is vital to optimize the thermal energy balance of the microclimate in the cabins of ground transport-technological machines through local thermoregulatory systems. To solve the existing problem, we set the goal of increasing the comfort of the work environment of ground transport-technological machines by optimizing the thermal energy balance of the microclimate. In order to achieve this goal, we set several tasks in.. View More»
