  • the present invention relates- to- a system to optimize the air-conditioning of an automobile.
  • the present invention relates to an optimized system of identifying the number of users (passengers) , positioning of ducts and vents and creating partitions within the automobile which can be recoiled without substantially adversely affecting the aesthetic feature-of the automobile interior finish.
  • An automobile air conditioner of a type installed inside the compartments of an automobile body structure is well known in the art. It has been observed that there is a majox problem within car air-conditioning system (commonly known as an automobile conditioner / blower and warmer) . ⁇ The problem is that while the ignition of the automobile is not switched on the vehicle "keeps on getting wa-rmer " due to green house effect. Therefore the temperature of the vehicle becomes more than the- normal outside temperature. When the ignition is finally switched .on the car air conditioning system starts working. There is a general understanding that the air conditioning is meant to- provide comfort to the user (passenger) while on move, it has been further- observed that the duration of travel of__the_ user of the vehicle while traveling intercity varies depending on the travel time and distance.
  • the present air-conditioning systems available with the automobiles usually have ducts at the front near the " dashboard to throw forced air of air-conditioner or warmer or blower. Once the car is started air-conditioner (or warmer as per environmental conditions) is switched on the conditioned air starts circulating throughout the internal volume of the vehicle to bring it to adequate temperature condition. It is observed that usually in a vehicle such as passenger cars, sports utility vehicle luxury sedan only one person is in the running vehi-cle . The vehicles are hardly occupied fully. However, the air-conditioner/warmer conditions the whole air inside the vehicle which takes a long time due- to ; its sheer volume, which is very inconvenient- in very hot and very cold days (outer environment depending on weather conditions) .
  • the air-conditioner/ warmer changes the effective temperature of large voJLume of air even for a single driver or two passengers, it affects, the-., -fuel efficiency of the vehicle and consequently pollutes -more..

  • the partition so created can be clamped- either on side or bottom for stability and support .
  • partitions are configurable. By this it is meant that position where the partition may be created can be configured (for each automobile model) to enable optimal movement of the. chairs positioned- in the automobile. Fox example as illustrated in figure 1, it consists of a four seater ' 3 box car. The front seats can incline to a certain angle; they can also be -adjusted back and forth to some distance. The Instant invention in its preferred embodiments takes these into consideration. The position of the partition -that goes along the width is therefore either over the rear seat -or just where, the rear seats ends. In such a scenario, if the partition is placed by unwinding a partition along the breadth, the front seats would have the maximum ⁇ comfort but it would be difficult for anyone to sit on the rear seats . The instant invention thus focuses and determines the positioning of the partition in terms of optimized comfort for the users/passengers.
