Book Description
The evolution of automotive climate control systems is told in more than 500 pages including more than 600 pictures. The progress made in heaters, defrosters, air conditioners, ventilation systems and windshield wipers since 1897 is enormous. This book shows how the automobile manufacturers and suppliers have made driving an automobile safe and pleasant in any type of weather. The major changes that have occurred from the early use of lap robes and charcoal heaters to the modern, sophisticated, electronically controlled systems are fully documented in this book.--P. [4] of cover.

Book Description
Cooper demonstrates how the lure of the open air, from rooftop schoolrooms to open-air theaters to the front porch, challenged air conditioning. Americans were slow to give up the social rituals of hot-weather living - the cold drink, the cool clothes, the summer vacation - for the comforts of either the window air conditioner or the central system.

Book Description
This book presents research advances in automotive AC systems using an interdisciplinary approach combining both thermal science, and automotive engineering. It covers a variety of topics, such as: control strategies, optimization algorithms, and diagnosis schemes developed for when automotive air condition systems interact with powertrain dynamics. In contrast to the rapid advances in the fields of building HVAC and automotive separately, an interdisciplinary examination of both areas has long been neglected. The content presented in this book not only reveals opportunities when interaction between on-board HVAC and powertrain is considered, but also provides new findings to achieve performance improvement using model-based methodologies.

Book Description
This report examines the application of plastics in European cars in the middle of the year 2000. It evaluates the changes in use and considers possible developments over the next decade. The use of plastics for specific components is examined, comparison is made between competitive materials and examples of commercial application are included. Estimates are presented for current plastics usage in European cars with forecasts to 2008.
