The automotive market is becoming increasingly competitive, with the air conditioning system representing a crucial component of the vehicle. Within this system, the piping network constitutes an indispensable element of its development, serving to facilitate the circulation between the blower and compressor, as well as between the evaporator and engine. This article primarily outlines the develop...

Design considerations must encompass not only manufacturing processes but also the ease of assembly for OEMs. During the trial production phase of a new automotive model, frequent assembly difficulties arose with the air conditioning refrigeration piping, leading to substantial redesign costs later on. By implementing synchronous engineering for final assembly, virtual assembly analysis and design...
