Abstract

Accurate calculation of air-conditioning cooling load is a prerequisite for optimal design of vehicle air-conditioning systems. This study aims to develop a monthly average bus cooling load map for Türkiye using an artificial neural network (ANN) approach. For this purpose, the Radiant Time Series (RTS) method recommended by ASHRAE was used as the cooling load calculation method. The cooling load values obtained for all 81 cities of Türkiye then utilized to train the ANN model, and a cooling load map was created that allows for the determination of the cooling load value for buses across the country. A comparison of the results from the RTS and ANN methods revealed high similarity, with Adana showing the highest cooling load and Ardahan the lowest in both models. The difference between maximum cooling load values from RTS and ANN ranged from 13.4% to 8.8% across test cities. Ultimately, the ANN approach offers a rapid and reliable means of calculating bus cooling loads, allowing for predictive adjustments to air-conditioning systems and potential energy savings.

期刊介绍： Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
