Abstract :
The present paper is a review of the selected research activities at the German Aerospace Center on the field of terrestrial vehicles thermal management. The methods and some results of the passenger cabin measurements and human comfort studies are described. Several shortly depicted concepts for the cabin air-conditioning present the challenges of current and future research topics. Some examples of newly developed highly integrated components and the component tempering strategies for next generation vehicles are given.
