CO2 levels were investigated under different speeds and ventilation modes. Four modes were selected: A: vent closed and fan shut, B: vent closed and fan started, C: vent opened and fan shut, D: vent opened and fan started. In vent closed modes, CO2 levels reached several thousands of ppm in few minutes at any speeds. For mode C, CO2 levels exceeded the guideline at low speeds 50 km/h, while it reduced below one at higher speeds 80 km/h. Fan has no significant impact on ventilation during vent closed. The ventilation efficiency in each mode increased with the speed raising. To determine the ventilation rate of running vehicle, the experiment was implemented by using CO2 emitted from driver and passengers as tracer gas. Ventilation rate for the different modes and speeds were calculated.展开更多
