Automotive HVAC Manikin
The Automotive HVAC Manikin is designed to evaluate thermal comfort and air distribution inside automobile, truck, and indoor HVAC environments.It simulates the thermal response of a seated human occupant, providing accurate data on airflow, temperature, radiant heat, and humidity distribution.
Application
This system is widely used for:
Vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system design and validation
Passenger comfort optimization in automotive and public transport cabins
Indoor building HVAC testing, including air circulation and comfort assessment
R&D and academic studies on human thermal comfort and airflow dynamics
Standards
The Automotive HVAC Manikin complies with the following international standards:
ISO 14505-2: Ergonomics of the thermal environment — Evaluation of thermal environments in vehicles
ISO 7726: Instruments for measuring physical quantities of the thermal environment
ASHRAE Standard 55: Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy
SAE J2234: Vehicle climate control system performance testing
EN ISO 15831: Clothing — Physiological effects — Measurement of thermal insulation by a thermal manikin
