Grant Description

NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of this Program Area of Interest. YOU MUST READ THE MASTER FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA) FOR DETAILS ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER A SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST. THE MASTER FOA IS AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK: https://e-center.doe.gov/iips/faopor.nsf/8df825feb86675de852564650046faea/e840fe 496a431c78852573fe00633a96?OpenDocument Area of Interest 1: Solid State Energy Conversion for Vehicular Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Waste Heat Recovery (DE-PS26-08NT01045-01) The overall objective of this area of interest is to solicit applications to accelerate development of recently emerging high-efficiency Thermoelectric (TE) modules that pump heat in either direction to provide the HVAC function in vehicles. These TE HVAC systems should reduce petroleum consumption, toxic emissions and greenhouse gases in autos, light trucks and heavy-duty trucks. The primary objective of this area of interest is to develop vehicular TE HVAC systems to augment or replace currently available air-conditioners that use compressed R-134a refrigerant gas. The TE HVAC system should incorporate appropriate design features afforded by thermoelectrics. The TE HVAC systems should have a coefficient of performance (COP) of >1.3 for cooling and > 2.3 for the heating mode. The TE HVAC system should be optimized to provide occupant comfort while reducing fuel consumption and associated regulated emissions, and eliminate the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere associated with HVAC. The TE HVAC system should reduce the energy required by current compressed gas air conditioners by 1/3. TE HVAC systems developed under this area of interest should be targeted for introduction into production vehicles in the 2012 to 2015 timeframe. A secondary objective is to improve the efficiency of TEGs for directly converting engine waste heat to electricity and to provide much of the power for operation of the TE HVAC. This requirement would apply to vehicles with engines that provide sufficient waste heat for commercially viable direct energy conversion. Applicants need not include work on this secondary objective in their application but may do so at their discretion to assist, as necessary, in achieving the prime objective.
