Abstract
An airflow generation system includes a cold source, a roof trim, a cold airflow path, an air inflow port, an air outflow port and an airflow generator. The cold source is disposed in a roof panel of a vehicle and has a radiant cooling function. The cold airflow path is formed between the cold source and the roof trim. The air inflow port allows air in a cabin to flow into the cold airflow path. The air outflow port allows air in the cold airflow path to flow out to the cabin. The airflow generator generates a cold airflow in a direction from the air inflow port to the air outflow port. The airflow generated in the cabin circulates in a direction from the air outflow port to the air inflow port. A temperature of the entire cabin can be reduced using a small amount of energy.
Claims14
An airflow generation system comprising:
- a cold source disposed on provided on an outer panel of a roof panel of a vehicle and including a radiant cooling function for maintaining a lower temperature than a temperature of a cabin;
- a roof trim disposed on an inner side of the roof panel;
- a cold airflow path formed between the cold source and the roof trim;
- an air inflow port configured to allow air in the cabin to flow into the cold airflow path;
- an air outflow port configured to allow air in the cold airflow path to flow out to the cabin;
- and
- an airflow generator configured to generate a cold airflow in the cold airflow path in a direction from the air inflow port to the air outflow port,
- an airflow being generated in the cabin and circulating in a direction from the air outflow port to the air inflow port.
