Motor vehicle users expect greater comfort and refinement in vehicle performance. Demisting systems
are often considered to produce uncomfortable air flows and noisy operation. To prevent the user
simply switching off the system and compromising occupant safety, manufacturers are investing more
in demisting and climate control to improve detailed performance, whilst maintaining comfort and
refinement. An indirect performance estimation would be extremely desirable, using less climatic test
facility time and allowing prediction of end performance for a range of conditions
An experimental investigation has been carried out to reproduce glass misting in a purpose built
environmental facility, at conditions representative of typical car markets. [Continues.]
