Demonstration of a zero emission high-efficiency argon-hydrogen reactor for hybrid electric heavy-duty vehicles

随着未来能源系统对间歇性可再生能源的依赖不断增加，电力供应过剩预计将被电解产生的可再生氢气和氧气所抵消。该项目旨在建造和论证一种超高效率、零排放混合动力系统的可行性，该系统利用这些气体的特性以及在超高效率热力循环控制方面的最新进展。世界级的项目团队包括SR技术创新公司(管理和技术原型开发经验)、纽卡斯尔大学(未来的超高效率发动机和热力循环)和CMCL创新公司(未来燃料、燃烧和排放的高级模拟)。该项目将进行12个月，主要目标是证明使用ArH2-R的坦克到车轮(T2W)能源效率的新范例可以在没有尾气排放的情况下实现，将我们今天看到的15%-20%提高到50%左右。

With future energy systems relying on an increasing amounts of intermittent renewable energy, electricity over supply is expected will be offset by the generation of renewable hydrogen & oxygen via electrolysis. This project aims to build and demonstrate the feasibility of an ultra-high efficiency, zero emission hybrid-powertrain which exploits the properties of these gases and recent advancements in the control of ultra-high efficiency thermodynamic cycles. The world-class project team includes SR Technology Innovations (management and technical prototype development experience), Newcastle University (future ultra-high efficiency engines and thermodynamic cycles) and CMCL Innovations (advanced simulation of future fuels, combustion and emissions). The project will be carried out over 12 months with the principle objective of proving that new paradigms for Tank-to-Wheel (T2W) energy efficiency can be achieved with no tailpipe emissions using an Argon-Hydrogen Reactor (ArH2-R), increasing the 15-20% that we see today to around 50%.
