The Research on Installation Test of Special Vehicle Temperature-Controlled Seats

Abstract

Purpose To provide technology support for the temperature-controlled seats installation and application in special vehicle. Object and Method The temperature-controlled seats cooling and heating effectiveness are analyzed and evaluated by testing the temperature of backrest and cushion. Results (1) Starting the seat when the test circumstances temperature is 12.2 °C, it tends to balance 8 min later and then continues to go up to 27.5 °C, and the cushion temperature can reach 26.6 °C maximum. (2) Starting the seat when the test circumstances temperature is 15.9 °C, it tends to balance 19 min later and then continues to go down to 17.0 °C maximum. The cushion temperature tends to balance 27 min later, and it can further go down to 18.4 °C maximum. Conclusion Vehicle test examination has proved the temperature-controlled seats have a good effect, and it can meet the operation requirement in high- and low-temperature circumstances and enhance operator’s continuous working capability effectively.
