JOULE CYCLE-BASED WASTE HEAT RECOVERY FROM HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK ENGINES

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Growing global concern over the impact of carbon emissions has spurred many nations to aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions within the 2030 to 2050 timeframe. A significant contributor to these emissions is the transport sector, responsible for a substantial 23% of total carbon emissions, with heavy-duty (HD) transport accounting for 40% of this cumulative figure. This study explores waste heat recovery (WHR) via the utilization of multiple working fluids in closed and open Joule cycles from the exhaust gas of the Volvo D13 truck engine operating on the European Stationary Cycle (ESC). Furthermore, this paper investigates the potential for recovering heat from the gases in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) circuit and examines the impact of pressure drops within the heat exchangers on the WHR process. The design and analysis of these cycles are executed using Aspen Plus, complemented by a one-dimensional D13 engine simulation model in GT-suite to provide the essential exhaust and EGR properties. This study also aims to offer more insight into the viability of pursuing WHR for truck applications using the Joule cycle.
