The base HVAC(Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system of GMDAT(General Motors Daewoo Automotive & Technology) small car with four different mode - Vent, Foot, Defrosting, and Bi-level Mode - has been studied in this paper. The main objective of this analysis is to look at the flow field inside the HVAC system including each of the ducts and to find out the thermo-fluid dynamic performance at the early stage of development in terms of the flow distribution and pressure drop, With these sorts of initial assessments through vehicle development process, the engineering proposals on base HVAC system such as the optimized nozzle angle for aiming. the characteristics of cabin flow, and defrosting/deicing patterns on windshield and side glass, etc. can be deduced.
