An exhaust heat recovery system turns waste heat energy in exhaust gases into electric energy for batteries or mechanical energy put on the crankshaft.
The technology is of increasing interest as car and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers continue to increase efficiency, saving fuel and reducing emissions.
While technological improvements have greatly reduced the fuel consumption of internal combustion engines, the peak thermal efficiency of a 4-stroke Otto cycle engine is around 35%, which means that 65% of the energy released from the fuel is lost as heat.
The document discusses applying a GREEN Ice Thermal Storage System using a Vacuum Ice Maker for peaking gas turbine power plants. It describes how using ice-based thermal energy storage can shift a plant's refrigeration and cooling load to off-peak hours, increasing power output during peak hours. Specifically, it evaluates replacing an existing plant's "on-demand" chillers with a system using a Vacuum Ice Maker to create an ice slurry for thermal energy storage. Analysis shows the proposed configuration could increase the plant's electric power output by around 12% while reducing chiller power consumption by about 25%.
Basics of Thermal Energy management.pptssuser2023f0
This document discusses energy management in thermal systems, specifically focusing on energy conservation in steam generators or boilers. It defines key concepts like energy management, energy audits, and boiler efficiency calculations. It explains the direct and indirect methods for calculating boiler efficiency and provides examples. It also outlines several strategies for improving boiler efficiency, such as reducing stack temperature, feedwater preheating, combustion air preheating, avoiding incomplete combustion, controlling excess air, and recovering heat from blowdown. The overall goal is to minimize avoidable heat losses and optimize boiler performance.
This document discusses thermal issues related to electric vehicle batteries and various thermal management techniques. It begins by explaining how battery temperature greatly impacts performance, safety, reliability and lifespan. It then reviews common thermal management options for electric vehicle batteries including using air or liquid for heating and cooling. The document also discusses techniques for improving battery life such as standby thermal management while the vehicle is plugged in and thermal preconditioning of the battery and cabin before driving. The tradeoff between thermal management and thermal comfort is also noted.

Case study Energy Audit for Chiller PlantHina Gupta
The document discusses energy audits conducted on HVAC equipment at a client site by MGCS-Energy Audit Company. It analyzes the performance of two chillers and two cooling towers. For the chillers, it is found that Chiller 2 has a higher condenser approach and lift, indicating its condenser is fouled. Cleaning the condenser is recommended to improve Chiller 2's efficiency. For the cooling towers, Tower 2 has a higher approach and lower effectiveness, suggesting relocating the towers to the terrace for better air flow. The audits identify opportunities for energy savings through equipment maintenance and modifications.
John Fairbanks of the US Department of Energy presented on thermoelectric developments for vehicular applications. He discussed the DOE's projects with automotive companies to develop thermoelectric generators using waste heat from engines to improve fuel efficiency. The projects aimed to recover at least 8-10% of fuel energy lost as heat and increase fuel economy by 2-9%. Fairbanks also described potential applications of thermoelectric technology for vehicle climate control, battery temperature regulation, and embedded semiconductor cooling.
Thermodynamic cycles are used to convert heat into work. The key cycles discussed are:
- Carnot cycle, which establishes the theoretical maximum efficiency possible.
- Rankine cycle, which uses steam to power turbines and is used in fossil fuel, nuclear, and other power plants.
- Brayton cycle, which is used in gas turbine engines with no phase change of the working fluid.
- Combined cycle, which uses exhaust from the Brayton cycle to power a Rankine cycle for higher overall efficiency.
Combustion rates and temperatures are limited by mixing, heating, compression rates, and material properties. Chemical kinetics also determine how quickly a fuel can fully oxidize to release its energy. Carbon
Energy audit & conservation studies for commercial premisesravindradatar
This document provides an overview of the scope and instruments used for an energy audit of commercial premises conducted by Senergy Consultants. The energy audit evaluates energy performance, bills, equipment efficiency, lighting, air quality, and distribution systems. It analyzes the energy index, bills, power quality, thermal images, consumption profiles, and recommends improvements to recover waste energy and switch to cheaper fuels to reduce costs. Key performance indicators like specific power consumption and pump efficiency are calculated. The goal is to identify savings through optimization and use of renewable energy.
Adoption of Induction Heated Rolls to Reduce Energy Consumption and Improve Q...Michael Rice, MBA
This document discusses the adoption of induction heated rolls to reduce energy consumption and improve quality compared to oil heated rolls. It summarizes the energy requirements of oil heated rolls, describing heat losses from piping, circulation pumps, and radiation from the oil unit. Induction heated rolls avoid these losses by heating only the roll surface using electromagnetic induction. They maintain a uniform temperature profile using a jacket chamber and require less maintenance than oil heated rolls. Applications include packaging films, printed circuit boards, nonwovens, plastics, and more. Induction heated rolls provide precise temperature control, a clean environment, energy savings, and increased bearing lifetime.
This document discusses options for replacing the existing conventional cooling tower at Asian Paints Limited (APL) with an adiabatic cooling tower. It provides an overview of different cooling tower types, their working principles, and compares the technical specifications, costs, water and energy savings of conventional versus adiabatic cooling towers. Based on its analysis of four vendor options for an adiabatic cooling tower for APL's 100TR chiller cooling requirement, the document recommends installing a tower from International Coil Limited due to its technical capabilities, lowest cost, and satisfactory customer feedback on existing large-scale installations.
