välijäähdytystä
Välijäähdytystä, also known as evaporative cooling, is a method used to cool the air in a vehicle's cabin. This process involves the use of a fan to draw hot air from the engine compartment through a heat exchanger, where it is cooled by the evaporation of a refrigerant. The refrigerant, typically a hydrocarbon, is stored in a sealed container and is released into the air stream as the hot air passes through the heat exchanger. The evaporation of the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, cooling it before it is recirculated back into the cabin. This method is commonly used in vehicles to provide a more comfortable driving experience, especially in hot climates. However, it is important to note that välijäähdytystä can be less effective in very humid conditions, as the refrigerant may not evaporate as quickly. Additionally, the use of välijäähdytystä can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer, as the refrigerants used are potent greenhouse gases. As a result, many countries have regulations in place to limit the use of välijäähdytystä in new vehicles.
