Abstract

Malaysia climate is categorized as equatorial which is being hot and humid throughout the year with the average temperature is 27°C. El-Nino phenomenon that hit Malaysia this year with the highest temperature record is 39°C. The problem when facing this extreme temperature is when a car parked directly under scorching sun, the car will experience a kind of greenhouse effect and this will lead to higher car cabin temperature up to 60°C. This extreme temperature is clearly not suitable for the human being. Various problem will arise due to this extreme temperature inside the car such as vulnerable to heat stroke, damage of interior compartment and etc. The aim of this project is to reduce car cabin temperature by creating a ventilation inside the car cabin by modifying the car blower motor itself into dual direction which is forward and backward direction powered by solar energy. This project will focused on car air conditioning blower system model PW530220 Proton Wira 1.5L. The project testing will be conducted at KLANG open parking area within 8.00 am to 5.00 pm. This project was divided into four difference cases which are normal condition with tinted window, adding aluminum front sun shade, using modified blower and combination of all cases. As a result, after using the modified blower, the temperature inside car cabin has been successfully reduced to 40oC. Even though the temperature is still high, but it shows a huge temperature difference between not using modified blower and using the modified blower and has achieved the objective of this project which is to reduce the car cabin temperature when parked under the scorching sun.
