VEHICLE ROOF

Cores for sandwich panels for body structures of refrigerated lorries and similar vehicles roofs of coaches containers for maritime, road, railway and air transport wagons to carry and store food on board aircraft shelters, bodies of military light machines. [Pg.88]

Since the driver perceives heat differently depending on the elevation of the sun, the solar sensor is required to possess an angular response appropriate to the vehicle s thermal load characteristics. When the sun is overhead, at an elevation of 90°, the vehicle s thermal load is rather small owing to the vehicle roof, while it is largest when the sun is at an elevation about 40°. Since the driver perceives sunlight even when the sun is on the horizon, at an elevation of 0°, the solar sensor needs to have a response capability even for that angle. [Pg.464]

Gobernado and co-workers [14] have discussed the use of PET to produce thermally bonded vehicle roof liners by thermoforming. [Pg.164]

Automotive adhesives. CR adhesives are used to bond recreational vehicle sidewalls, for vinyl trim bonding in panels, and to bond in place truck and trailer roofs. [Pg.671]

Outdoor air is generally less polluted than the system return air. However, problems with reentry of previously exhausted air occur as a result of improperly located exhaust and intake vents or periodic changes in wind conditions. Other outdoor contamination problems include contaminants from other industrial sources, power plants, motor vehicle exhaust, and dust, asphalt vapors, and solvents from construction or renovation. Also, heat gains and losses through the building envelope due to heat conduction through exterior walls, floor, and roof, and due to solar radiation and infiltration, can be attributed to effects from external sources. [Pg.418]

In many cases, it is necessary to complement physical security by the installation of an intruder alarm system in order to achieve the standard of security commensurate to the risk exposure. The scope of protection to be afforded by the alarm system depends on the security risk, but it may embrace fences, windows, doors, roofs, walls, internal areas, yards and external open areas, and vehicles inside and outside buildings. There is a comprehensive range of detection devices, but the choice of detector is critical to ensure that it provides the desired level of protection and is stable in the particular environment. [Pg.168]

A similar problem is presented by vehicle tires and certain blow molded bottles, which must be virtually impermeable to air and other gases. An example of the use of a very impermeable elastomers is butyl rubber. Because of its impermeability to gases, butyl rubber is used as a roof coating. With plastic bottles, different layers of both coinjected and coextruded plastics (Chapter 8) can be used to fabricate the bottle to make it impermeable to different vapors and gases depending on the barrier plastic included. [Pg.307]

Daimler-Benz built the NECAR (New Car) I, a commercial van that was its first fuel cell vehicle, in 1994. NECAR I was a prototype and most of the cargo area was used for the fuel cell equipment. The roof held a large hydrogen tank. [Pg.167]

Several prototypes have placed the tank on the roof, like the NECAR II van, this might be acceptable in a high roofed van but not in most passenger cars. High weight in the roof also makes the vehicle unstable at higher speeds. Storing the fuel in special structures has been done by Toyota, Honda and others, but the metals and structures are expensive. [Pg.182]

Sunnev offers kits for building solar electric vehicles that seat two with a 25 mph top speed a range of 20 miles. A small panel on the hood provides about 3 miles per day travel on a sunny day and larger panels on the roof bring that up to 12 to 16 miles per day. [Pg.258]

The Quaranta is a concept hybrid gas/electric vehicle with solar assist. The electric portion is made by Italdesign Giugiaro. The roof is a solar panel that charges the batteries and provides energy for the climate control system. The all wheel drive, mid-engined car accelerates from zero to 62 mph (100 kph) in 4.05 seconds and tops out at 155 mph. This is a three-seat high performance sports car. [Pg.260]

In the early 1970s, K. Kordesch modified a 1961 Austin A-40 two-door, four-passenger sedan to an air-hydrogen fuel cell attery hybrid car (23). This vehicle used a 6-kW alkaline fuel cell in conjunction with lead acid batteries, and operated on hydrogen carried in compressed gas cylinders mounted on the roof The car was operated on public roads for three years and about 21,000 km. [Pg.40]

Terne Plate. This is a sheet-steel product that is coated with an alloy of tin and lead. The coatings range from 50-50 mixtures of lead and tin to as low as 12% dn and 88% lead. Plate used for roofing normally is about 25% tin and 75% lead. In addition to roofing, terne plate is used in the manufacture of gasoline tanks for automotive vehicles, oil cans, and containers for solvents, resins, etc. [Pg.1617]

A few early natural gas vehicles have used low pressure storage of natural gas in large bags stored on the roof (in the case of buses) or carried behind the vehicle on a trailer. This approach is not practical for most modem vehicles due to height and volume constraints, and since trailers would interfere severely with operations. [Pg.108]

The mines were swerving, like an army of cartoon moles, ploughing into this new pool of pure heat. Many of them melted before impact, but blasts from the late arrivals rocked the vehicle on its mighty suspension. Stone fragments and clods of earth pelted the roof of the car. The paintwork was expendable. [Pg.63]
