＜Verification Method＞
For this verification test, a dashboard with a surface temperature of 25°C was covered with two types of sunshades with different heat-shielding rates. Each sunshade was then irradiated with the artificial solar lighting system, and the rise in dashboard temperature after 10 minutes was recorded with a thermal camera.
【The higher the heat-shielding rate, the more sunlight can be blocked.
A dashboard with a surface temperature of 25°C is covered with two types of products with different heat-shielding rates, and each is exposed to the artificial solar lighting system.
Temperature measured after 10 minutes
◎Higher heat-shielding rate ⇒ The temperature rise was suppressed
△Low heat-shielding performance ⇒ The temperature rose sharply 】
＜Results＞
・Sunshade with high heat-shielding performance: Effectively suppresses the rise in dashboard temperature
・Sunshade with low heat-shielding performance: The dashboard temperature rises significantly
Using artificial solar lighting under fair test conditions allowed for the differences in heat-shielding performance to be clearly visualized.
A sunshade’s heat-shielding performance varies greatly depending on conditions such as the intensity of sunlight, the initial temperature inside the vehicle, and the angle of irradiation.
Natural sunlight is affected by the weather and time of day, making it impossible to maintain constant conditions at all times.
This led to the adoption of an artificial solar lighting system that can reproduce direct sunlight in midsummer in an indoor setting.
Direct sunlight in midsummer is referred to as “1sun.” Its irradiance (radiant intensity) is 1,000 W/m2 (1 kW/m2), and the illuminance is approximately 100,000 Lx.
Artificial solar lighting super spot type “Models: XG-100EFSS and XG-500EFSS” are able to achieve an irradiance equivalent to midsummer sunlight of 1,000 W/m2 (in this case, the illuminance is about 60,000 Lx). “Models: XG-100AFSS and XG-500AFSS” are able to produce 100,000 Lx, making it possible to reproduce midsummer sunlight indoors at any time.
Please refer to the following pages for the specifications and performance of artificial solar lighting.
