Energy Efficient Combined Freezer and Thermal Trailer Body

Botanic Energy正在为大型和重型货车开发一种节能的冷冻和热拖车体，它利用热力学而不是化石燃料来实现温度控制配送，而不需要运输制冷装置。公路运输占全球排放的主要部分，由于更多地依赖化石燃料进行冷却和制冷剂泄漏，温度控制的运输产生了相当高的污染。传统柴油制冷装置的温室气体排放量可能高达车辆排放量的40%，而运输制冷装置（tru）的颗粒物排放量几乎是汽车的30倍，氮氧化物排放量是汽车的6倍。交通运输部门面临着减少二氧化碳排放和减少对化石燃料依赖的压力。在冷藏配送中使用热电作为内部环境控制的重要替代方案。在隔热方面取得进步的制冷和供暖脱碳将有助于实现环境目标，并向零碳运输迈进。基于热力学，Botanic Energy的组合冷冻热拖车体旨在解决这些问题。这项创新技术利用了内部和外部环境之间的温差，为具有环保意识的监管机构、制造商和运输商提供了一种节能的替代方案。Botanic Energy的热覆层系统已经从概念发展到早期研究和基本原型，并获得了多项专利。我们正在寻求项目资金，以加速英国技术和产品的商业化发展，面向国内和全球市场。我们的项目包括进一步研究和开发系统的组成部分，推进设计和组成特定元素，并开发一个示范原型，以便在受控环境中进行测试。该项目的目的是为Botanic Energy的冷冻和热拖车车身组合提供零二氧化碳排放，取代化石燃料系统，节省材料，能源消耗和成本。

Botanic Energy is developing an energy efficient combined freezer and thermal trailer body for large and heavy goods vehicles that utilizes thermodynamics rather than fossil fuels to enable temperature controlled distribution without transport refrigeration units.Road transportation is responsible for a major part of global emissions, with temperature controlled transport producing considerably higher pollution due to the greater reliance upon fossil fuels for cooling and leakage of refrigerant. Greenhouse gas emissions from conventional diesel refrigeration units can be as high as 40% of a vehicles emissions with transport refrigeration units (TRUs) emitting nearly thirty times more particulates and six times more nitrogen oxides. The transportation sector is under pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and become less reliant upon fossil fuels.The use of thermoelectricity in refrigerated distribution emerges as a significant alternative for internal environmental control. Decarbonising cooling and heating with advances in insulation will help achieve environmental targets and the move towards zero carbon transportation.Based upon thermodynamics, Botanic Energy's combined freezer thermal trailer body is designed to address these problems. This innovative technology takes advantage of temperature differences between internal and external environments, offering an energy efficient alternative for environmentally conscious regulators, manufacturers and hauliers.Botanic Energy's thermal cladding system has progressed from concept through to early research and basic prototypes leading to several patents. We are seeking project funding to accelerate the development of the technology and products for commercialisation from the UK for domestic and global markets.Our project involves further research and development of the component parts of the system, progressing designs and make up of specific elements and the development of a demonstration prototype for testing in controlled environments.The aim of the project is for Botanic Energy's Combined Freezer and Thermal Trailer Body to offer zero carbon dioxide emissions from chilled transport by displacing fossil fueled systems with the associated savings in materials, energy consumption and cost.
