Mobile Organic Rankine Cycle Powersystem with Electrified Ancillaries for Reduced Parasitics

在由Innovate UK共同资助的一个项目中，Perkins Engines Company Ltd、DENSO Marston Ltd、Avid Technology Ltd和帝国理工学院伦敦分校正在合作展示一种高效的柴油-电力混合动力总成，其中发动机的废热通过有机朗肯循环系统进行回收。当与发动机的辅助设备(例如冷却液和油泵)通电以减少发动机上的寄生负载时，该系统有望在实际运行条件下显著降低燃油消耗。这个为期3年的520万GB项目包括软件、硬件和控制系统的设计和开发，并将以重型发动机演示结束。系统成本、性能和包装将以满足选定的道路和越野应用的要求为目标。该项目于2015年1月启动。

In a project co-funded by Innovate UK, Perkins Engines Company Ltd, DENSO Marston Ltd, AVID Technology Ltd and Imperial College London are collaborating to demonstrate a highly efficient diesel-electric hybrid powertrain in which waste heat energy from the engine is recovered through an Organic Rankine Cycle system. When coupled with electrification of the engine’s ancillary devices (coolant and oil pumps for example) to reduce the parasitic loads on the engine, the system is expected to deliver significant fuel consumption reductions over real-world operating conditions. This £5.2M, 3-year project encompasses software, hardware, and control system design and development, and will culminate with a heavy duty on-engine demonstration. System cost, performance and packaging will be targeted to meet requirements of selected on-road and off-road applications. The project was launched in January 2015.
