Energy can be saved and the thermal comfort inside the passenger compartment can be enhanced by the application of textile composites with thermo-regulating properties. The thermo-regulating properties are provided by the application of phase change material (PCM) - a highly productive thermal storage means. In order to create the textile composites with thermo-regulating properties the PCM is contained in a polymeric film that is laminated to a textile carrier. A study has indicated that the application of the developed composites is especially beneficial in car seats, headliners and instrument panels. In the paper, specific solutions for the application of the textile composites in car seats, headliners and instrument panels will be introduced and test results, received in rigorous field tests, will be discussed.
