Intelligent
gadget which can cool car interior faster to go on display
New Straits Times
(May 22, 2001)
Kuala
Lumpur,
Mon.- The e-Cool gadget reputed to be the first
in the world will be showcased at the Science and technology 2001 Expo.
The
e-Cool is an intelligent, pure electronic solution to significantly reduce
the heat and humidity in a parked vehicle. “It is capable of reducing
temperatures inside the passenger compartment by up to 10 to 15 degrees
Celsius;” said DAG Electrophonic Sdn. Bhd. managing director Darren Aster
Gunasekera.
He
said it kept the passenger cabin fresh without using an ionizer and lengthened
battery lifespan by actively reminding the driver to properly maintain
the vehicle battery, like when there is low battery
fluid levels.
The
gadget has an ultra efficient regulated power
consumption with battery depletion fail-safe feature, which incorporates
a battery watchdog function by alerting the driver when the battery is
defective.
It
significantly reduces the time required for an air conditioner to start
cooling the passenger compartment on the vehicle start-up by reducing
the green house effect and by keeping the evaporator coils cooler.
“The
invention is a breakthrough as it is a multipurpose gadget,” said Darren.
The Expo will be the company’s platform to launch the product to expose
local technology and it hopes to gain some international recognition at
the World Inventions in Geneva.
According
to Darren, the product is undergoing tests with Sirim and will be priced
between RM300 and RM400. The Expo will also showcase the e-Light gadget,
which is an automatic light controller that will upgrade a vehicle’s lighting
system to equal those found in luxury-class cars.
“It
is the first Malaysian design using digital technology which has an automatic
and intelligent control of a vehicle’s evening lights and headlights in
all situations,” said Darren. He said it prevented the accidental leaving
on of the lights.
Other
products showcased in the Expo are the Vibramat Bonnet and Trunk lid Liner
and the Vibramat Acoustic Tile. Both products are distributed by EON.
The Vibramat Bonnet and Trunk Lid Liner reduces
the engine and transmission noise intrusion into the passenger compartment.
The
Vibramat Acoustic Tile was developed to modify the resonance of a vehicle’s
body panel. It will be launched soon.
DAG
Electrophonic Sdn. Bhd. was incorporated as a private limited company
in 1998 and is located in a prime industrial park in Shah Alam
