ENGINE WASTE HEAT RECOVERY AND RE-USE
Acronym: NoWaste
Time Period: From October 2011 to May 2015
Partners:
Total Budget: 4.703.600 €
Financing: FP7
Short description:
The NoWaste Project aims at developing a Waste Heat recovery system for long haul trucks and demonstrate its feasibility with a test rig and a vehicle demonstrator.
Main tasks:
- definition of a reference mission
- selection of the most appropriate architecture after a deep technology screening
- innovative heat rejection system minimizing the cooling drag and the impact on the front end
- development of specific heat exchangers to maximize the heat recuperation efficiency
- Integration with the exhaust system
- validation of the developed system at first on a test rig and then on vehicle demonstrator based on a hybrid powertrain
- evaluation of the system on the applicability on various power trains for heavy duty trucks by means of a model approach
The target performance is a reduction of fuel consumption higher than 12% with a system lighter than 150 kg
