Abstract:

During the major part of the year, various climatic conditions, like heavy rain, extreme hot or cold, make driving a two-wheeler uncomfortable and prone to accidents. In order to prevent such casualties, we made a stiff casing in the form of a cabin with air conditioning within.
Making a covering for the driver and conditioning the air within it will not only protect him/her from difficulty caused while driving due to adverse climate, but it will also help him/her concentrate better.
Use of refrigerants (Freon, ammonia…) can get maximum output, but one of the major disadvantages is harmful gas emission and global warming; this problem is overcome by using the thermoelectric module (Peltier effect). This technique will result in zero emissions.
As the cooling units are of small size, silent contains no liquids or gases and have no moving part hence a long life. It is very simple to control the rate of cooling by adjustment of the current; the response to changes in the supply is very rapid, while reversal of the direction of the current transforms a cooling unit into a heater with COP in excess of unity.
