Vehicle Compartment Heat Control Using Phase Change Materials
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The Phase change materials (PCM) are those have the ability to observe a huge amount of heat during its phase change from solid to liquid. The ability of PCMs is utilized in heat storing, heat removal applications. Temperature shoot up in cars during parking particularly in summer plays an important role in thermal comfort of car-cabin. As the vehicle is not in motion, and the air conditioner is off solar radiation heats up almost the entire cabin, particularly due to the fact that heat transfer co-efficient reduces too minimal as the car is parked. This project is to utilize the heat removal capability of PCM to remove the heat generated due to solar radiation. A thin layer of PCM coating over the car outer surface, particularly on the top and on the wind-shield has been made. CFD is found to be a better alternate in modern industries and has the ability of solving such complex problems. In this project with the help of CFD, a comparative analysis are executed to study the cases such as base car surface with AC off without PCM, base car surface with AC on without PCM, PCM coated where AC off. The comparative temperature pattern inside the cabin is used to understand the thermal comfort in the cabin and advantages of using PCM.
