Background/Objectives: To meet the regulations for the fuel economy, an EHRS (Exhaust gas Heat Recovery System, which was installed within the vehicle exhaust system and recovered the heat from the exhaust gas, were needed. The EHRS enabled the engine to achieve the fast warm-up performance for reducing friction loss during the cold start.The objective of this paper was to investigate the effects of the design parameters of the EHRS with a plate heat exchanger on the warm-up performance of a gasoline engine.Methods/Statistical analysis: The EHRS with the plate heat exchanger was manufactured and installed behind the catalyst in the exhaust system of the gasoline direct injection engine. The experimental study and multi-disciplinary analysis were carried out to investigate the effects of the EHRS on the warm-up performance of the engine, such as the coolant temperature, the exhaust gas temperature and the recovery heat at idle condition and the step-load condition.Findings: Because the recovery of heat was about 1. 7 kW at idle condition, the effect of the EHRS on the warm-up performance was negligible. However, due to 17.2 kW of the recovery of heat at the stepload condition of T=140 Nm at N=2,400 rpm, the EHRS enabled to shorten the warm-up time by 548 s comparison that of the base engine.Improvements/Applications: The fuel economy will be expected to be improved through an EHRS, which provides the improved combustion in the warm-up phase and a decrease in friction loss.

The exhaust gases from an internal combustion (IC) engine carry away about 75% of the heat energy which means only 25% of heat energy is operated for power production. A recovery unit at the exhaust outlet port can ensure heat exchange between different temperature fluids through conjugate heat transfer phenomena. This study represents heat recovery from exhaust gases that are emitted from IC engines which can be utilized in various applications such as vapor absorption refrigeration systems. In the present work, a new type of perforated fin heat exchanger for waste heat recovery of exhaust gases is designed using SolidWorks, and the flow field design of the heat recovery system is optimized using ANSYS software. Various parameters (velocity, pressure, temperature, and heat conduction) of hot and cold fluid have been analyzed. Inlet velocity of cold fluids including refrigerant (LiBr solution), water, and graphene oxide (GO) nanofluid have been adopted at 0.03 m/s, 0.165 m/s, and 0.3 m/s, respectively. Inlet velocity of hot fluid is taken as 2 m/s, 4 m/s, and 6 m/s, respectively, to develop a test matrix. The results showed that maximum temperature reduction by the exhaust is achieved at 104.8°C using graphene oxide nanofluids with an inlet velocity of 0.3 m/s and exit velocity of 2 m/s in the heat recovery unit. Similarly, temperature reduction by exhaust gases is acquired at 102 °C using water and 96.34 °C by using a refrigerant (LiBr solution) with the same exit velocity (2 m/ s). Furthermore, maximum effectiveness of 0.489 is also obtained for GO nanofluid when compared with water and the refrigerant. On the other hand, the refrigerant has the maximum log mean temperature difference from all fluids with a value of 224.4 followed by water and GO.

Strict regulations are set up in various parts of the world with respect to vehicular emissions by their respective government bodies forcing automakers to design fuel-efficient vehicles. Fuel economy and carbon emission are the main factors affecting these regulations. In this competitive industry to make fuel efficient vehicles and reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in internal combustions has led to various developments. Exhaust Heat Recovery System (EHRS) plays a vital role in improving powertrain efficiency. In this system, heat rejected by the engine is reused to heat the vehicle fluids faster (like engine coolant, engine oil, etc) also reducing harmful gases emitted. In internal combustion engines, generally only 25% of the fuel energy is converted into useful power output and approximately 40% of it is lost in exhaust heat. Certain studies show that by using the EHRS, the power output can be increased to 40% and the heat loss can be reduced to as much as 25%. The purpose of this study is to make use of this lost energy and convert most of it into useful energy. The thermodynamic properties and fuel consumed during the warmup period were analyzed to measure the improvement in the engine efficiency. The design was implemented on a Briggs and Stratton Junior 206cc engine. This system includes the use of heat exchangers. The main goal of this study is to develop a robust EHRS design and compare it with the baseline engine configuration to see the thermal and fuel economy improvement.

The waste heat recovery system (WHRS) is a good alternative to provide a solution to the waste energy emanated in the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine (ICE). Therefore, it is useful to carry out research to improve the thermal efficiency of the ICE through a WHRS based on the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), since this type of system takes advantage of the heat of the exhaust gases to generate electrical energy. The organic working fluid selection was developed according to environmental criteria, operational parameters, thermodynamic conditions of the gas engine, and investment costs. An economic analysis is presented for the systems operating with three selected working fluids: toluene, acetone, and heptane, considering the main costs involved in the design and operation of the thermal system. Furthermore, an exergo-advanced study is presented on the WHRS based on ORC integrated to the ICE, which is a Jenbacher JMS 612 GS-N of 2 MW power fueled with natural gas. This advanced exergetic analysis allowed us to know the opportunities for improvement of the equipment and the increase in the thermodynamic performance of the ICE. The results show that when using acetone as the organic working fluid, there is a greater tendency of improvement of endogenous character in Pump 2 of around 80%. When using heptane it was manifested that for the turbine there are near to 77% opportunities for improvement, and the use of toluene in the turbine gave a rate of improvement of 70%. Finally, some case studies are presented to study the effect of condensation temperature, the pinch point temperature in the evaporator, and the pressure ratio on the direct, indirect, and fixed investment costs, where the higher investment costs were presented with the acetone, and lower costs when using the toluene as working fluid.
