TIP Trailer Services to offer Dearman zero emissions transport refrigeration system alongside regular fleet

Green Car Congress

The Dearman transport refrigeration system combines cryogenic refrigeration with a Dearman engine ( earlier post ) and a downsized vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink.

Study finds highly-turbocharged alcohol-fueled DISI engines could be more efficient than diesels

Green Car Congress

Alcohol-based transportation fuels from a wide range of biomass feedstocks including agricultural, forestry, municipal and industrial waste and specially grown crops and trees can potentially offer a substantial substitute for oil derived fuel. More modest downsizing up to 5 liters could offer a practical solution. In this manner a 3.6

Dearman begins on-vehicle testing of Gen 2 transport refrigeration system powered by liquid air engine; lighter, more efficient

Green Car Congress

Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink. We aspire to offer systems which are not only cleaner, but that are also cheaper and perform better than polluting diesel alternatives. The only emission back to the atmosphere is air or nitrogen.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. slow charge.
