Grant Description: The focus of this announcement is to fund projects that will improve overall vehicle efficiency while maintaining low emissions through the development and application of waste heat energy recovery technologies. Potential sources for waste heat recovery include, but are not limited to radiators, lube oil coolers, exhaust gas (probably after the after-treatment), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) loops, turbocharger compressor discharge, and heat generated during braking to directly generate electrical work or to provide cooling capacity for climate control purposes. High efficiency thermoelectrics, thermionics and other technologies are sought for thermal energy recovery and direct conversion to electricity for automotive, light duty truck (sport utility vehicles, mini-vans or pick-up trucks) or heavy-duty truck applications. Approaches that directly utilize waste heat recovery for cooling are also encouraged. It is the intent of the DOE to award cost-shared projects that address the above goals. Successful Applicants will develop their technology to full scale for characterization and evaluation on multi-cylinder engines or equivalent experimental setups by the end of the period of performance. Fundamental research will be considered for funding under this announcement when it is focused on a major impediment to a project apos;s progress. Up to one half of the total estimated project cost may be utilized for fundamental research, if necessary for project success. Applications are being accepted in the following Areas of Interest. Applications that propose clear synergies between the areas are encouraged.
