DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT
RESISTANCE SEAT COVER
FOR TWO WHEELERS 21T211 21T212 21T213 21T214 Methodology OBJECTIVE OF OUR WORK • The aim of the project is to develop a heat resistant two-wheeler seat cover using suitable fibers. It should also be comfortable for usage and durable. To produce heat resistant seat cover. To produce a durable seat cover. To ensure the fabric's thermal conductivity to provide for comfortness. The produced product should withstand the effects of longer exposure to sunlight. The product should not be affected by UV rays and be durable. FIBRE SELECTION • The main reasons behind the selection of Acrylic fibre are, No damage due to sunlight. No microbial attack. Comfort like wool. Good thermal insulation. High resistance to stretching and damage from wear and tear. PIRN WINDING • A pirn is required to run it in the shuttle loom. • Automatic pirn winder machine is used to produce an acrylic pirn from cone form. NEED OF GROUND FABRIC Acrylic fabrics can be used as Ground fabric. For cushion like feel, Terry machine can be used with acrylic yarn for both ground and pile. The sample can be made as compact one. A cover can be attached in bikes to hold the seat cover. The cover can be spread whenever necessary. NEED OF PILE FABRIC The pile fabric is produced to create cushion like feel on the fabric, therefore making it comfortable to sit on. Pile fabric is produced in Terry loom. Acrylic yarn can also be used for pile formation. Some researches show results that acrylic cut pile fabric produced from pile yarn with 16.48, 10.99, 7.69 denier fiber exhibits highest energy of compression, decompression energy, relative compressibility, resilience of fabric compression. PRODUCTION PROCESS The ground fabric is made of viscose as warp yarn and acrylic as weft yarn. Dobby machine was used. The ground fabric provides the necessary heat resistant property. Pile fabric layer is added at the top of the other. It provides comfort feel and also aids to heat absorption. Both layers are stitched together. CONCLUSION • The heating up of two-wheeler seats when exposed to the sun is a never-ending problem. In fact, due to global warming, the atmospheric temperature is increasing rapidly which is like pouring petrol on the fire. The solution to this problem is provided by the seat covers. This innovation provides an excellent thermal insulation, good comfort and heat conducting property. The acrylic fabric used provides for the comfort and thermal insulation property. The pile fabric also prevents heating up of the seat to some extent and increases the comfortability. It is durable and is portable which makes this product a unique one.
