Abstract

Fossil fuels are of greater importance in transport systems because when it is burnt, produces significant amounts of energy to move the vehicle along. Generally usage of the air-conditioning system in the transportation will increase the usage of the fossil fuel thereby increases pollution rate. The additional energy resources such as solar energy can be used in a vehicle to generate adequate energy to power the air-conditioning system instead of solely depending on the fossil fuel, which increases the fuel consumption rate in an engine. The solar panel allows it to absorb the sun's energy and turn it into electricity can be utilized to power the air-conditioning system in a car. Thereby the consumption of fossil fuel is lowered. Besides, this application, benefits the environment as it produces lower carbon which minimizes the effect of the greenhouse effect thereby and global warming.

Highlights

  • The existing air conditioning system in the vehicle uses fossil fuel to operate

  • A new kind of energy sources or renewable energy such as solar energy can be utilised as a substitute to power the air-conditioning system in a car

  • Air-conditioning system can be powered through an alternate renewable energy such as solar energy

Summary

Introduction

The existing air conditioning system in the vehicle uses fossil fuel to operate. The amount of fuel used for air conditioning is significant. As the research goes deep into the context of the air-conditioning system of a vehicle, more problems can be found on the impact of the system. It is not the best way to completely remove the air-conditioning system since the hot climate needs the air-conditioning system to comfort the passengers and driver. A new kind of energy sources or renewable energy such as solar energy can be utilised as a substitute to power the air-conditioning system in a car
