Effect of cabin partitioning on the fuel consumption in automobiles

Abstract

This paper deals with the effect of cabin separation on load on compressor in turn the fuel consumption in automobiles. It is a study to check reduction in working time of compressor in turn the fuel consumption when the cabin space is reduced to 45% by providing cabin partition. In present scenario people are using automobiles (cars) to reach their destinations irrespective of number of passengers. So, at minimum load conditions that is when only one or two persons travelling then there is no need to cool the entire space in the cabin so, the cabin space is reduced by providing a partition between Rear seats and front seats, the work done by compressor reduces which in turn increases the fuel economy, the load on the engine, compared to the non-partition of the cabin. Due to fuel economy, a micro level reduction in pollution and as a whole macro level.
