Abstract: In the early stages of new vehicle development, while the maximum theoretical performance of the AC system can be obtained through Amesim software simulation, the real performance heavily relies on calibration control. This calibration process, typically spanning 10 months and including up to 2 months of environment chamber tests, is time-consuming and can delay the vehicle's launch. To address this issue, "virtual" AC calibration technology has been developed. This technology offers several advantages: Shortened Calibration Cycle: By utilizing virtual calibration, the time-consuming process of physical prototype testing is significantly reduced, allowing for a faster turnaround and quicker vehicle launch. Performance Assurance: The virtual AC calibration method ensures that the AC system meets the required performance standards, as it captures essential features of AC characteristics at different development stages. Cost-Effectiveness: The virtual calibration method is cost-effective, as it reduces the need for extensive physical testing and allows for easy realization of the final functional on-road test before the vehicle's Start of Production (SOP). Prototype for Future Programs: This new method serves as an AC calibration prototype for any future vehicle programs, further reducing the total AC system development cost and cycles. In summary, the "virtual" AC calibration technology is a valuable tool in the vehicle development process, offering a solution to the time-consuming and costly traditional calibration methods, while ensuring performance requirements are met and reducing overall development costs and cycles for future programs.
