Efficient Cooling Systems for QUieter Surface Transport (ECOQUEST)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
"An important subsystem in surface transportation vehicles (rail bound, automotive and heavy duty) is the cooling unit. Present European standards for interoperability of rail bound traffic require low noise levels while manufactures need to meet the vehicle performance and energy efficiency requested by the operators. The stringent EU6 emission limits expected to come into effect will increase dr ...

Reduced Energy Consumption by Massive Thermoelectric Waste Heat Recovery in Light Duty Trucks (HeatReCar)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The main objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and curb CO2 emissions of vehicles by massively harvesting electrical energy from the heat within the exhaust system and re-use this energy to supply electrical components within the vehicle or to feed the powertrain of hy-brid electrical vehicles (HEV). The recovery of the thermal energy will be performed by novel, labo-ratory- ...
