1.0 INTRODUCTION
In the case of electric vehicles (EVs), one of the major successful
factors of these vehicles in future is it must meet the consumer needs
of city driving and longer distances for holiday outings, etc. One of
these needs is the thermal comfort which is to be provided by the air-
conditioning (A/C) systems that runs on battery. The A/C cooling load
is the most significant auxiliary loads [1, 2], reported second largest of
energy consumption after power train [3]. Thus, its operation becomes
critical for full EVs due to limited battery storage capacity, limited
battery charging station and longer time taken to charge the battery
compared to fuel conventional internal combustion engine powered
vehicles. The battery is not only used to run the electric motor to run
the EV, but also to run the A/C system, as well as other accessories thus
reducing the driving range of the EVs. Therefore, the correct size of
component selection i.e. compressor and expansion valve in the early
stage of system development are significant in producing efficient
vehicle air-conditioning (VAC) system.
