BMW dedicated a portion of its recent Innovation Days 2009 event to the topic of Intelligent Heat management as a mechanism for reducing fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The remaining two-thirds are lost as waste heat going into the environment through the car’s exhaust emissions and through the radiator. Click to enlarge.

IDTechEx is producing an event looking at the whole range of electric vehicles. Optional masterclasses and visits to local centers of excellence in the subject are offered on the day before and the day after this event. In addition, the exhaust manifold is cast into the block, for the same reasons as the integral head.

A complex set of rules assesses the various technical concepts. In addition to the new, more efficient internal combustion engine, the 2014 R18 powertrain concept, for the first time, features the integration of two hybrid systems: ERS-K and ERS-H. A pair of driveshafts connect the system to the front axle.

This is the opposite of the approach taken by Toyota with its Mirai fuel cell vehicle ( earlier post ) and Honda with its new FCV Concept ( earlier post ). Because the exhaust system only has to handle water vapor, it is made of weight-saving plastic. The h-tron concept car shows that we have also mastered fuel cell technology.

On brake application and/or on deceleration, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and is stored in the battery pack. The spontaneous and direct response of this engine results from its compact configuration, which allows the shortest exhaust manifolds. Intelligent energy management and integral safety concept.

That’s according to 2023 IEEE President Saifur Rahman , who was among the speakers from engineering organizations at the COP27 event held in Egypt in November. The heat from the turbine’s exhaust is used to produce steam to turn a turbine in the second stage. Another efficient option he pointed out is the combined cycle power plant.

With the new R18, Audi Sport has opted for a similar concept as in the past—albeit with new detailed solutions and an additional hybrid system. e-tron quattro hybrid system at the front axle (ERS-K – Energy Recovery System Kinetic, a system to store kinetic energy). A further developed V6 TDI mid-engine powers the rear wheels.

710 literes of ambient air becomes about 1 liter of liquid air, which can be stored in an unpressurised, insulated vessel. It also exhausts lots of cold, making it highly relevant for processes which require power and cooling. This process can be driven by renewable or off-peak energy. This can be used to drive an engine.
