Automobile Solar Air conditioner
Abstract
Air conditioner is the primary accessory of a passenger car which is used to maintain the vehicle cabin temperature and humidity at comfortable levels for a passenger. But this system consumes a lot of power and negatively affects the fuel efficiency of a car. Depleting natural oil resources, increasing oil prices and environment pollution increases the awareness about the Need to use renewable sources. In past years, lot of efforts have been made towards the application of solar energy to electric and hybrid cars, but a limited work is done on particularly air conditioning case. In the present work, feasibility study of air conditioner has been discussed using solar energy. With the implementation of solar conditioner in automobile the fuel efficiency will be increased and the tail pipe emissions are reduced. Also by dis-attaching compressor from engine and making it run through the solar energy, the load on engine decreases.
