Researchers developing free-piston linear generator for exhaust waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China have developed a novel free-piston linear generator (FPLG) to recover exhaust waste heat efficiently from a vehicle engine. the internal combustion engine is the power system of most vehicles. The two cylinders are alternately in the intake-expansion stroke and exhaust stroke. Prototype FPLG.

MIT team exploring using LOHCs directly on-board hydrogen-fueled trucks

Green Car Congress

To address this, our work is exploring a more efficient application, with LOHC-powered trucks featuring onboard dehydrogenation. On its way to the engine, some of the hydrogen gets diverted to a burner to heat the reactor, which helps to augment the reactor heating provided by the engine exhaust gases.
