Air vent location in an automobile has a significant impact on thermal comfort of cabin. In the current research the location of air vents has been changed from all 4 in front dashboard (Design 1) to 2 fronts and 2 rears above passenger seat (Design 2). Transient thermal analysis is performed using ANSYS CFX 18.1. With the assistance of CFD it is demonstrated that rear cooling air vents give a superior air comfort to passenger. Air flow design has been considered and contrasted and the consistent air vent at different location which covers the maximum area under the passenger car cabin. To direct air flow inside the car cabin air vent at front side on dashboard and rear side of the cooling vane development has been reproduced. Due to change of location of air vent air flow and temperature control has improved towards the back passenger. Cabin chill off examination with the rear cooling side vents has been done to study the impact of cooling inside the Cabin. A slightly faster cool down in seen with the design 2 air vents at different locations compared to design 2 all air vent located at the dashboard only. The initial cabin temperature for analysis is considered to be 313K.
