The movement to open and close the door It acts like an air pump, expelling the hot air with the open window and replacing it with the colder outer air. The result is immediate: the cabin can cool up to 8 ° C In just a few seconds.
More details of the Japanese trick to cool the car
The technique fThat explained by the Japanese engineer Kenji Tanakawhere he explained that the system takes advantage of the pressure change generated by the movement of the doors. Solar radiation heats the inside of the car, creating a greenhouse effect. When moving the doors, an air renewal is forced, allowing the accumulated heat to leave the cabin.
