Abstract:
A cooling fabric including a composite layered member carried coextensive with the object to be cooled. The composite layered member includes a lower nonporous layer, a middle porous layer, and an upper permeable light reflective and soil resistant layer. Water conveying channels are interposed between the nonporous and the porous layers so that upon opening of a valve, water from a source is fed through the channels and migrates through the porous layer and cools the object by evaporating through the permeable layer. When permenantly affixed to the roof of the vehicle, a drip pan is positioned below the roof of the vehicle for receiving condensate from the cooled air from within the vehicle.
