SUMMARY
The condition of the earth is getting warmer temperature, forcing people to
seek various ways to avoid the warm air. Similarly, while driving car, people often
felt the warm in the cabin. So, one of solutions to these problems are use Air
Conditioning System (A/C) to reduce warm temperature in the cabin. Also, air
conditioning can removes moisture in the windshield when driving in rainy.
Cooling load calculation includes sensible heats from outdoor and latent heats
from indoor. Sensible heats are heat transfers from sunlight through car body to
interior cabin. Latent heats are heat transfers from passengers and air vent. Total of
heat transfers will produce a total of heat in the car cabin. Then total of heat transfers
converted into the power to determine Air Conditioning capacity. Good calculation
of cooling load will greatly affect the condition of the room and also used to
determine specifications of Air Conditioning components. Suzuki APV uses non
frosting evaporator coil with fins, condenser uses air condenser type with finned flat
tube and air as a cooling fluid, compressor uses swash plate compressor type, and
expansion valve uses thermostatic expansion valve. Exact calculation of cooling load
will reduce excessive fuel consumption due to the use of Air Conditioning.
Air Conditioning system of Suzuki APV uses basic of vapor compression
cycle and R-134a (HFC-134a) as a refrigerant. Total of sensible heat load is 5,687.68
Btu/hr and total of latent heat load is 1,164.11 Btu/hr. So, total of Air Conditioning
capacity is 2.69 hp (3 hp rounded). By using refrigerant R-134a, refrigeration system
of Suzuki APV has 89 % efficiency.
Key words: evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion valve and refrigerant

MOTTO
Prayer gives strength to the weak, making people does not believe to be believed and
to give courage to those who fear.
(Nasrul Kurniawan)
Our task is not to succeed. Our task is to try, because in trying that we find and learn
to build an opportunity to be success.
(Mario Teguh)
To live this life, everyone must pay attention from various sides. Each side should be
set so that humans can live properly. If there is one side of the forgotten, the ultimate
goal man would not be achieved perfectly. Only by setting a true human being can
achieve the ultimate goal of this life.
