FuE-joint project

„Air-Air-HX" concepts for air-to-air heat transfer to save energy and increase range in vehicles with electric drive concepts.

Objective:

Development of concepts for alternative energy recovery from the vehicle cabin for future vehicles with electric or fuel cell drives.

Improvements compared to the state of the art:

  • Utilisation of waste heat from the vehicle cabin through direct heat transfer using an air-to-air heat exchanger
  • Compact, weight-optimised solution (plastic heat exchanger)
  • High efficiency (coefficient of performance greater than 10, comparison heat pump: 2…4)
  • Low costs by avoiding expensive materials with limited availability and using technologies that can be industrialised
  • No refrigerant required
