This paper reviews vehicular wind tunnel tests that were carried out on two automotive air conditioning systems. The test data compare the performance of the air conditioning systems utilizing refrigerants HFC-134a and CFC-12 with various heat exchangers. Heat exchanger selection was found to influence refrigerant charge levels. This will be important in the future when more costly HFC-134a becomes the refrigerant of choice.
