The invention relates to a method for improving the thermal comfort in passenger planes by means of a heat-reflecting coating with a low thermal emission coefficient, and airplanes and airplane parts bearing this coating. According to the invention, the coating is applied to the existing interior surfaces of the airplane cabin wall such that a passenger of the airplane may be in direct radiation exchange with this coating.

Method and device for improving the thermal comfort in passenger airplanes

A vehicle window includes a pane of self-darkening or laminated glass and a function layer made of a low-emission material disposed on an inside surface of the pane. The function layer reflects a first infrared radiation into the vehicle and reduces an emission of a second infrared radiation from the glass pane into an interior of the vehicle. In addition, a method for regulating a thermal comfort of a passenger in an interior of a vehicle includes the steps of providing a self-darkening glazing as protection against glare and heat, disposing an IR-reflecting transparent layer on the glazing in form of a coating or film, reflecting an infrared radiation emitted from the vehicle interior back into the vehicle interior using the IR-reflecting transparent layer, and reducing a heat radiated by the glazing into the vehicle interior.

Thermally comfortable glass

An infrared camouflaging system comprises a thermorefractive layer system or a thermorefractive material, whose thermal emissivity has a negative temperature coefficient.

Infrared camouflaging system

An infrared camouflage device has a surface structure having two groups of partial areas. Partial areas in the first group are directed downward and form an angle &agr; of between 5&deg; and 45&deg; with vertical; and partial areas in the second group are directed upward and form an angle &bgr; of between 50&deg; and 65&deg; with vertical; and &agr;&plus;&bgr;<90&deg;.

Infrared camouflage device

Vehicle lighting unit with an optical conductor system

A laminated glass pane assembly with electrically controllable reflectivity, especially for controlling the entry of sunlight and solar heat into vehicles or buildings. The laminated glass pane comprises a first glass pane, an electroreflective functional layer made of an alloy of the hydride of a rare earth metal and magnesium, an antioxidation layer made of a proton-conducting transparent oxide or fluoride, an anhydrous proton-conducting solid electrolyte, a proton storage layer, a transparent conducting coating, and a second glass pane.

Laminated glass pane assembly with electrically controllable reflectance and method of making said assemblies

A pane made of glass or plastic, whose optical degree of reflection can be controlled by switching between two different interference conditions. As a result, the transmissibility with respect to sun radiation can be reduced very efficiently and an excessive heating of glazed objects can be prevented. Preferred applications of the invention are the climate control of motor vehicles, rail vehicles, airplanes and buildings.
