This invention relates to a device of Thermal storage Tent House for better comfort in cold climate.
Background of the Invention
US10094134B2 discloses a portable, insulated shelter consists of flexible inner and outer layers, lightweight fabric panels located therebetween, and connected to each other, a suitable support frame, and a system, such as a HVAC unit and a suitable connector, for actively controlling the interior environment of the shelter. The shelter may be used to protect and provide livable conditions in harsh, remote locations. Methods of selectively installing and removing the fabric panels are also provided, along with methods of setting up and disassembling the shelter.
Research Gap: The status regarding the discharging rate and the temperature of shelter are not monitored in this invention. Sensor based mechanism is missing in this invention for monitoring inner temperature.
US9121192B2 discloses a shade shelter includes a frame, roller assemblies, and one or more solar panels selectively mounted on the roller assemblies so as to be movable with respect to the frame. The shade shelter may be erected over an associated structure in order to at least reduce the thermal radiation effects of the sun on the associated shelter.
Research Gap: The status regarding the discharging rate and the temperature of shelter are not monitored in this invention. Sensor based mechanism is missing in this invention for monitoring inner temperature.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is a device of Thermal storage Tent House for better comfort in cold climate.

This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
In cold climates, heating is needed primarily for thermal comfort. It is quite difficult to have a comfortable place to live, especially for military personnel when they are stationed in remote locations. This invention has proposed a thermal storage-based tent that has the ability to store solar energy to provide a thermal environment. The thermal storage tent consists of a sensor-based solar charging device that provides solar energy based on the temperature and the amount of thermal energy left in the thermal storage to the tent. The temperature sensor built into the tent monitors the temperature and supplies solar power to the tent when the temperature is low. The architecture of the invention is shown in Figure 1 in which the tent is formed with combination of five layers such as Inner cover, thermal storage, electrical heating surface, insulating layer and top cover.
Here the solar charging is powered from solar panels to the electrical heating surface (red color in figure) of tent. Heat storage is used in the tent to store the solar energy obtained from the solar panels.
This thermal storage that attached before inner cover provides the warm environment during cold climate.
The function of the insulation layer in the tent is to reduce heat dissipation so that the thermal efficiency of the tent can be improved.
In addition, the tent comprises of ESP 32 module that is capable to update temperature status of the tent on the mobile App through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
OLED visualizes the status of temperature on color display.
