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
