Vehicle Ancillary Load ReductionGoal

To work with industry to reduce energy use for vehicle climate control by 50% in the short-term and 75% in the long-term while maintaining passenger thermal comfort and safety.

Cool Car - ApproachTo develop integrated analysis tools and testing to analyze advanced climate control systems for a diverse supplier base from a systems perspective (thermal comfort, fuel economy, tailpipe emissions)

Objectives and Goals

• Our primary objective would be to utilize high-grade heat from engines in light-duty vehicles to produce cooling and/or electrical power generation.

• Our primary goal would be to reduce the fuel used by light-duty vehicles’ ancillary systems by 75% by 2010.

• Average waste heat available would be 23 kW.

• Exhaust temperature varied from 200oC to 600oC.

• Generally, the waste heat available is twice as much as the mechanical output of the engine

Long Term: Waste Heat Utilization

• Too long-term for industry

• Potentially eliminate all fuel used for air-conditioning

• Opportunities exist but require R&D

No More Fuel Used for AC!

Solutions to Reduce AC Fuel UseVehicle Design

• Reduce the load (e.g. cabin soak temperature)

• Improve distribution of cooling• Improve equipment efficiency• Effective tools (modeling and testing)

Future Opportunities• Implement integrated model with industry-

partnered vehicle testing to evaluate benefit of advanced climate control systems

• Evaluate advanced concepts with thermal manikin and modeling

• Demonstrate heat-generated cooling concepts

• Demonstrate heat-generated electricity concepts

Vehicle Level Opportunities• Reduced Fuel Consumption • Reduced Tailpipe Emissions• Increased Comfort• Avoided Costs - avoid second evaporator, tubes,

controls, ducts or larger system• Underhood Issues

– Space– Lack of air flow for cooling– Overheating components, particularly

battery and electronics– Condenser fan power

• Material life, color, and cost• Enable advance vehicle technologies

– HEV– FCV

Reduce compressor size and use
