RESEARCH OF THERMAL CONDITIONS IN CABINS OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS

Abstract

This paper presents the research of thermal conditions in the cabins of agricultural tractors. This paper is based on in-field experiment, where values that are important for the thermal comfort in the tractor cab were measured. In order to be able to show the thermal conditions in different tractors, it was necessary to calculate the PMV index. The obtained results showed that only a tractor with air-condition can achieve satisfactory microclimatic conditions in the cabin.
