ABSTRACT:
An overheat regulating system (10) for a passenger compartment (200) of a vehicle comprising at least one thermal conductor (2) containing a phase-change working substance (18) for cooling the overheated passenger compartment (200) automatically without consuming any man-made power when the vehicle is parked outdoor under direct sunshine. The thermal conductor (2) has three sections: an evaporator section (20), which is preferably attached to the inner surface of the roof panel (60) of the passenger compartment (200), a condenser section (22), which is preferably mounted on the top of the roof panel, and an adiabatic section (24), which connects the evaporator section (20) and the condenser section (22) continuously. A shielding slab (70) with open periphery is constructed on the roof panel to shield the condenser section from direct sunshine. The evaporator section (20) absorbs excess heat from the overheated vehicle passenger compartment and the absorbed heat vaporizes the working substance (18). The resulting difference in the vapor pressure between the evaporator section (20) and the condenser section (22) drives the vapor-phase working substance (18) from the evaporator section to the condenser section where the vapor-phase working substance (18) condenses, releasing the latent heat of condensation to the ambient air. A wick (16) lining on the inner surface of the thermal conductor (2) is optional to help the condensed working substance (18) return to the evaporator section (20).
