The design of a hull cooling system using phase change material (PCM) to absorb and store the heat produced by the user's head to achieve comfort cooling for the user. The PCM is packed in a bag and placed between the helmet and the user's head. The heat from the user's head is transferred to the PCM by conduction through a heat sink extending over the user's head. No power is needed for the cooling system. The temperature in the user's head is kept just above the PCM temperature, so the user would not suffer from an uncomfortable and dangerous warm environment in the head that will affect the user's alert. The cooling unit is capable of providing comfort cooling for up to 2 hours when the PCM is completely melted. The heat stored in the PCM bag would then have to be discharged by immersing it in water for about 15 minutes to solidify the PCM before re-using it. The PCM hull cooling system is simple and has potential to be implemented as a practical solution to provide cooling comfort to motorcyclists.
The helmet is a critical safety equipment for two-wheeled drivers. The main purpose of the helmet is to protect the head from injury and protect the eye from sunlight and dust particles. It is crucial that the motorcyclist feels comfortable while wearing the helmet. The inconvenient equipment can affect the concentration and create hazards that could lead to accidents. The motorcyclist can be affected by the temperature, which results in a loss of concentration. This work focuses on absorbing the heat produced inside the hull. To accomplish this, a suitable Glauber Salt phase change material (PCM) is encapsulated within an aluminium foil. In addition, holes are created in the front and rear sides of the hull. This allows the circulation of the fresh air flow inside the hull so that the heat produced in the hull is instantly removed. Therefore, continuous cooling is achieved until the entire PCM is fused. Solid works is software of mechanical design; They provide tools to help you implement a sophisticated, standards-based architecture. Solid sketcher software works using model and flow simulation, heat is eliminated by providing the phase change material.
