The final product is either a fine micro-fibrous polymer mat that resembles white tissue paper, or polymer micro-beads with a diameter of ~ 0.5 - 5µm, with the hydride material entrained in ~50 - 200nm pores within the polymer. Many are also difficult to handle in that they degrade rapidly in air.

ARPA-E awarding $60M to 23 projects; dry cooling and fusion power

Green Car Congress

The program plans to provide $30 million to support 14 project teams in developing innovative, ultra-high-performance air-cooled heat exchangers, supplemental cooling systems and/or cool-storage systems that can cost-effectively and efficiently reject waste heat. The polymer construction will diminish corrosion effects from the flue gas.

Cadillac launches new V-6 family; 3.0L Twin Turbo w/ cylinder deactivation and stop/start for CT6

Green Car Congress

This new, parallel-flow design maximizes heat extraction in the area of the upper deck, intake and exhaust valve bridges in the heads and integrated exhaust manifold with a minimal amount of coolant. An integrated exhaust manifold rounds out the head’s features, saving weight over a conventional, separate head/manifold assembly.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer.
