Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency of Contact Heating System in Electric Vehicles
There is a growing need to improve thermal comfort while reducing the energy consumption of electric vehicles to extend the driving range. In this regard, this study evaluated the thermal comfort of a contact heating system (heated seat) in both general and lower-energy modes. It was observed that a heated seat could improve passengers’ thermal comfort, even in the lower energy mode. The experiments involved eight men in their 20–50 s participating with 0.914 clo for an hour in a vehicle parked inside a climate chamber. The subjects could freely control the operational level of the heated seat. Thermal acceptability, thermal comfort, and skin temperature were measured. As a result, it was confirmed that when the operational level of the heated seat was higher in the lower energy mode, the passengers perceived a thermal sensation similar to that in the general mode.
