Another cool project that I am working is related to Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) systems. We intend to use the WHR system for automotive applications to recover the engine exhaust gas heat and convert it to useful electrical energy. At the moment, as many of you know, the exhaust heat energy is not used in any sense, even though it represents 30 to 40% from the fuel energy. If we are able to recover part of this lost energy, future combustion engines can be much more efficient than now. However, the big challenge to make this a success is to make it work in highly dynamic conditions while maximizing its efficiency. And these are the main aspects I am focusing in this project.
Below, you can see a cool video filmed partly with the heat camera. Enjoy the video and don’t forget to subscribe for more updates on the project. See you next time!
