“…Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Nissan Grand Livina yang terparkir dibawah terik matahari langsung. Temperatur kabin tertinggi mencapai 56,1°C, penggunaan mini air cooler mampu menurunkan temperatur kabin dengan rata rata 6 °C [4] . Sementara itu, pada tahun 2021 sebuah studi tentang pengujian efek pendinginan dan indeks panas/heat index (HI) menggunakan blower bawaan kendaraan untuk mendinginkan kabin mobil juga telah dilakukan.…”

The Air Conditioning (AC) system is an important requirement for vehicle passengers to get thermal comfort. However, the AC system draws power from the engine to drive the compressor. Meanwhile, vehicles driven by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) provide decent cooling potential to assist the main air conditioning system. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of cooling on LPG-fueled vehicles by utilizing LPG flow to be used as a secondary refrigerant. The research was carried out on a 1495 cc engine with a special evaporator which was tested at variations of blower speed 1, 2, and 3. The tests were carried out at engine speeds of 1000, 2000, and 3000 rpm. The results showed the lowest cooling effect at blower speed level 1 with engine speed of 1000 rpm and the highest at blower speed level 3 with engine speed of 3000 rpm. The greatest cooling effect is obtained at 373 Watts at 3000 rpm engine speed and level 3 blower speed.

Study on Cooling System for Parked Cars using Mini Air Cooler and Exhaust Fan

Deaths among children and pets, as well as damage to car interior components, have been widely reported as a result of parking under direct sunlight for a long time. Rising car cabin temperatures in this condition trigger the formation of benzene gas, but it is not possible to turn on the AC due to security and energy consumption. Therefore, this article reports the experimental study on cabin cooling system for parked car under direct sunlight by applying a mini air cooler and exhaust fan powered by a solar cell on small car Bajaj Qute RE60. Two thermocouples were installed inside and outside the cabin to monitor the temperature for 7 hours, expressing daytime heat conditions. The results showed that this cooling system could reduce the temperature to 10 K by removing 8982 kJ (0.356 kW) of heat. In conclusion, this prototype is very promising to be developed and if implemented on a larger scale will reduce car interior damage while parking under direct sunlight.
