Abstract

After entering the cabin of an automobile during the summer, especially during the sunny days, drivers feel severe thermal discomfort just after entering the car, especially when the vehicle is parked facing the sun in the parking lot. Therefore, a considerable amount of cooling energy must be used to lower the temperature to a comfortable level so that, when using the phase change material, the comfort level can be maintained. A stationary automobile facing the sun is fitted with this innovative system to control the interior temperature. During the melting and solidification of phase-change materials, the energy of the heating is absorbed and released by pouches lining in the car's top inner side.
