Grant Description: AREA OF INTEREST 2 ? DE-PS26-04NT42099-02: Exhaust Energy Recovery Approximately 20% of the fuel?s thermodynamic availability is lost in the exhaust processes. In a simple energy balance, the exhaust accounts for almost 33% of the available energy. The technical path should seek to recover and utilize as much of this loss as feasible, with the important result being a measurable increase in engine efficiency (as opposed to merely transferring the loss elsewhere). Applications submitted under this Area of Interest shall focus on components, technologies, and methods to recover the energy normally exhausted as waste heat from internal combustion engines. Acceptable approaches include, but are not limited to: New approaches to ?expansion? processes of exhaust gases that can be turbine-based, or approaches that use compression/expansion ratio control (should not be merely a repeat of commercial technology such as current Miller Cycle). Useful work output may be electrical or mechanical. New approaches to using exhaust energy that improve the overall engine efficiency without increasing emissions or greatly reducing power density. Exhaust recovery concepts that support Area 1 are encouraged. Technologies proposed in this topic must be compatible with anticipated required emission control after-treatment devices. The list above is not exclusive. A specific target for this topic is to demonstrate a minimum 10% improvement over the base engine (e.g., 40% brake efficiency to 44%), with no emissions increase.
