Abstract
A modern combat vehicle needs to have a separate air-conditioning unit, although new combat systems tend to employ an integrated heating, cooling, and ventilating system. In this study, we investigated an air conditioning unit for an armored combat wheeled vehicle as a special use and military specification and performed a case study of a unique military combat vehicle. By using Fluent software, we tried to determine a suitable air ducting method and its location in the armored combat vehicle. The results show that an air-conditioning unit is one of the best solutions for wheeled vehicles that are not equipped with a cooling unit for their crews, and it can be applied to similar types of armored vehicles.
