Abstract
The steady three-dimensional numerical analysis on the thermal flow using standard k-<TEX>${\varepsilon}$</TEX> turbulence model was carried out to investigate the air cooling effect of a cooler on the cabin for a commercial vehicle. Here, the heat exchanging method of this cabin cooler uses the cooling effect of a thermoelectric module. In consequence, the air system resistance of a cooler within the cabin is about 12.1 Pa as a static pressure, and then the operating point of a virtual cross-flow fan considering in this study is formed in the comparatively low flowrate region. The discharging air temperature of a cooler is about <TEX>$14{\sim}15^{\circ}C$</TEX>. Moreover, the air cooling temperature difference obtained under the outdoor cabin temperature of <TEX>$40^{\circ}C$</TEX> shows about <TEX>$7{\sim}9^{\circ}C$</TEX> in a driver resting space and about <TEX>$9{\sim}14^{\circ}C$</TEX> in the front of a driver's seat including the space of a driver's foot.
