5 I. WHY? Vehcles have been beng wdely used all around the world thanks to ther excellent convenence. hey are one of the means that consume a huge a mount of gasolne/ol everyday. Bllons of ltres of gasolne can be wasted durng traffc jam A large part of that huge amount s consumed for the ar condtonng attempt nsde cabns. 5

6 Heat enterng the cabn space ncludes: + From outsde through roof (solar rradaton, hot ambent ar) nsulator + From outsde through glass wndows thn flm coatng / curtan + From engnes nsulator / ventlaton I. WHY? In sunny whether (especally summer tme n tropcal countres) more heat may be ganed through the roof sde. hs paper suggests a soluton to reduce the solar heat gan through roof of vehcle cabns. 6

8 I. WHA? Suggested method: addng n to the normal roof structure a layer of Phase Change Materal () whch has the ablty of absorbng the heat flow through the roof. 8

23 V. CONCLUSION? A new desgn of roofng for vehcles has been done by nsertng a layer of to the roof structure n order to slow down the heat transfer process through the roof to the cabn space. Both expermental and numercal results have shown that the new desgn has a better thermal performance than the normal roof structure of the avalable vehcles. In the mentoned experment condton, the new desgn may help to reduce up to about 40% of the energy amount requred for coolng down the heat enterng nto the cabn from the roof. 23

24 V. CONCLUSION? he savng rate could be even much hgher n case external wnd s present due to natural wnd or movement of the car n use. he paper also suggests condtons for choosng sutable type n real desgn accordng to the weather condton such as ambent temperature, meltng temperature and latent heat capacty. hs s a promsng desgn whch could be massvely produced due to ts smple structure and reasonable prce. 24
