The automotive air conditioning system is the greatest auxiliary load of a vehicle, having a considerable impact on its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. For this reason, forecasting the influence that this sys-tem has on the fuel economy of a car is desired. The present work is dedicated to model the air conditioning system of a plug-in hybrid ve-hicle in order to predict its energy consumption. GT-SUITE was chosen as the simulation tool, where the air condi-tioner, which is a vapor-compression refrigeration system, was mod-eled by specifying its components: compressor, evaporator, thermal expansion valve and condenser. Moreover, additional sub-systems which influence the energy consumption were also considered, these are the vehicle’s c...
