摘要：According to N.R.E.L.’s findings, 700 crore gallons of petrol is used annually to run the air conditionersof passenger vehicles (nearly 6% of total fuel consumption in the USA). Beyond fuel use, the Environmental ProtectionAgency reported that refrigerant leaks from auto air conditioning units add an additional 5 crore metric tons of carbonemissions to the atmosphere each year. The objective of our project is to deal with this vital issue by carefullymodifying the interiors of a car thereby increasing its mileage and the efficiency of its engine. This would consequentlyresult in a decrease in tail emission and generated pollution along with improved car performance. An automaticmechanism, deployed between the front and the rear seats, consisting of transparent thermal insulated sheet, would rolldown as per the requirement of the driver in order to optimize the volume for effective air conditioning, when travellingalone or with a person. The reduction in effective volume will yield favourable results.Even on a mild sunny day, the temperature inside a parked car can quickly spike to life-threatening levels. For astationary parked car, insulation would be provided beneath its metal body so as to reduce the rate of heat transfer andincrease the transmissivity. As a result, the car would not require a large amount of air conditioning for maintaininglower temperature, which would provide us similar benefits. Authors established the feasibility studies, systemengineering and primarily theoretical and experimental results confirming the idea and motivation to fabricate and testthe actual product.
