Abstract

Frost and ice were accumulated on the windshield in winter. Generally to melt it, warm air using engine coolant is blown on the inner surface of the windshield, though, the time to melt is over 10 min under the lower temperature condition. In this study to shorten the melting time, the electric power systems of the heating element and the clear heating film were compared with the defroster system and the factors influencing the melting were investigated.
