DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG-1 Hot Air Ventilator embodying the principles and concepts of the Present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 20 will be described.
Hot Air Ventilator-20 comprises of Stylish Housing-21 which is fixed on top of the Roof of automotive cabin-10 with help of double sided adhesive tape-22 which makes it water leak proof. Housing-21 has two side openings, upper end, which is smaller in size opened to atmosphere wherein lower end which is bigger in size connected to Cabin-10. Hot Air Ventilator-20 comprises of Small Exhaust Fan-30 to suck out the hot air from Cabin, which is mounted on lower end of Housing-21, with help of screws-31.
It also comprises of solar panel-40 mounted on upper surface of Roof, Which provides Electrical energy to small exhaust fan-20. And also it comprises a sensor-50 to sense the ‘ON-OFF’ condition of vehicle by sensing the electrical current supply on harness to tail lamp-11. Thus it gives signal to exhaust fan for switching ON-OFF (refer FIG-4). When Vehicle is in OFF condition then sensor gives signal to exhaust Fan to switch ON; and when Vehicle is in ON condition then sensor does not give signal to exhaust Fan & it remains OFF; refer condition.
Means when vehicle is in running condition, small exhaust fan-20 will be in OFF condition, Hot Air Ventilator-20 will not work & therefore the Air-conditioner performance of vehicle will not be affected because of any air leakage.
If Vehicle is out door parked on hot SUN then vehicle panels start getting heated and air inside the Cabin also getting heated gradually. Simultaneously Solar Panel-40 start to convert solar energy into Electrical energy & supplying it to Small exhaust Fan-20. And then Small exhaust Fan-20 starts to suck out the Air from Upper side of Cabin which is comparatively hotter because Hot air always moves up because it is lighter than cold air. In this way, Hot Air Ventilator keeps on sucking hot air from Vehicle & making cabin comparatively cooler.
WORKING CONDITION IN BRIEF (with reference to FIG-4)
