INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

 TYPICAL DRIVING SCENARIO

 AUTOMOTIVE COOLING REQUIREMENT

 POTENTIAL FUEL SAVINGS

 UTILIZING WASTE HEAT

ALTERNATIVE COOLING
TECHNOLOGIES
 STIRLING CYCLE COOLING

 ABSORPTION (LIQUID-VAPOUR) COOLING

 ADSORPTION (SOLID-VAPOUR) COOLING

ADSORPTION COOLING
THE MOST PROMISING ALTERNATIVE
ADSORPTION HEAT PUMPS
 SIMPLE-CYCLE ADSORPTION HEAT PUMPS NOT
UTILIZING HEAT RECYCLING

 RECYCLING HEAT TO INCREASE COP

1.UNIFORM TEMPARATURE HEAT RECOVERY OR
DOUBLE EFFECT HEATING

2.THERMAL WAVE REGENERATION

1.UNIFORM TEMPARATURE HEAT
RECOVERY OR DOUBLE EFFECT
HEATING
THERMAL WAVE REGENERATION
STATE OF THE ART
ADSORPTION HEAT PUMPS

 RATIO OF ADSORBENT MASS(LIVE) TO NON-

ADSORBENT MASS

 MAXIMIZING NTU OF THE HEAT

EXCHANGER

 INCREASING POOR THERMAL

CONDUCTIVITY OF ZEOLITE OR ACTIVATED
CARBON ADSORBENTS WHILE RETAINING
SUFFICIENT THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY FOR
THE ABSORBENT
ADSORPTION CYCLE AS APPLIED
TO AN AUTOMOBILE

 ATLEAST 2 ADSORBERS

 HIGH ENOUGH COP FOR ADEQUATE

COOLING EVEN IN THE WORST CASE
SCENARIO ( IDLING FOR AN EXTENDED
DURATION )
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OPTIONS
 DESIGN OPTION 1 : ADSORBERS DIRECTLY HEATED
BY EXHAUST AND COOLED BY AIR
ADSORBERS HEATED AND COOLED
BY LIQUID HEAT TRANSFER FLUID
 ADVANTAGES
1. ADSORBERS CAN BE COOLED MUCH CLOSER TO
AMBIENT WITH A PUMP REQUIRING A SMALL
FRACTION OF THE WORKOF AN AIR BLOWER.

 HEAT CAN BE STORED IN A THERMAL RESERVOIR

( e.g. WAX )

 HEAT RECYLING IS MADE POSSIBLE WHICH CAN

BOST COP FROM 0.3-0.4 UPTO 0.5-0.65 ,SO THAT HEAT
PUMP CAN BE POWERED BY SMALLER ENGINES
EMBODIMENT DESIGN OF THE
ADSORPTION HEAT PUMP
THERE ARE THREE CIRCUITS

 A HTF LOOP

 NH3 ADSORPTION LOOP ENTIRELY

EXTERIOR TO THE PASSENGER CABIN

 REFRIGERANT R-134a LOOP TRANSFERING

HEAT FROM THE CABIN TO THE EXTERIOR
COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM
 ADSORBERS
 HEAT TRANSFER FLUID HEATER
 THERMAL RESERVOIRS
 HEAT TRANSFER FLUID COOLER
 HEAT TRANSFER FLUID PUMP
 EXHAUST BYPASS PIPE AND CONTROL VALVES
 REFRIGERANT RESERVOIR
 CONDENSER
 EVAPORATOR
 INTERLOOP HEAT EXCHANGER
COST EFFECTIVE AND ROBUST DESIGN
ELEMENTS
 OFF THE SHELF TECHNOLOGY IS EMPLOYED FOR
THE CONDENSER, HEAT EXCHANGER ,REFRIGERANT
RESERVOIR AND HTF COOLER

 ADSORBERS HAVE READILY MANUFACTURED, COST

EFFECTIVE, SHELL AND TUBE CONFIGURATION
WHICH OFFERS HIGH STRENGTH AND LOW WEIGHT

 HTF HEATER RESEMBLES A FINNED TUBE RADIATOR

 COST EFFECTIVE MANUFACTURING METHODS

YIELDING DURABLE PRODUCTS
CONCLUSION
 POTENTIAL FUEL SAVINGS BY 12-17 %

 THE VOLUME AND SHAPE OF ALL COMPONENTS FIT

WITHIN AVAILABLE SPACES IN PAQSSENGER VEHICLE

 INNOVATIONS FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE EMPLOY

COST EFFECTIVE AND PROVEN COMPONENTS,
MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES

 MATCHING PERFORMANCE WITH MECHANICAL VAPOUR

COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

 REFRIGERANT RESERVOIR USEFUL FOR HYBRIDS IN

WHICH ENGINE IS TURNED OFF DURING IDLING
