Abstract

Abstract: Nowadays, the earth’s surface receives UV radiation directly due to ozone layer depletion, which raises temperatures and heat at the equator and the tropic of cancer, regions like the Indian sub-continent. It consequently hampers the steady vehicles by damaging their working components. Therefore, this investigation focuses on the selection of roof-top heat-resistant covers for sedan cars in the Indian sub-continent. Four different types of heat-resistant covers viz. Taffeta material, Fibreglass cloth, Silicone rubber sheet, and Double-sided silicone-coated fibreglass cloth (DSFC) are studied in correlation with the external and internal temperatures with different time intervals such as 10min, 30min, 60min, and 180min respectively. The internal and external temperatures were measured using a temperature sensor. In conclusion, the heat-resistant roof-top has significance in resisting heat. The overall results showed that the double-sided silicone-coated fibreglass cloth was found to be more effective than other materials.
