Résumé

This paper presents the main characteristics of an innovative cooling system for the air conditioning of a truck cabin, as well as a first estimation of its performance during a standard driving cycle, obtained with a specifically developed vehicle-engine-cooling system overall model. The innovative cooling system consists of a water-zeolite adsorption-desorption system, which employs the waste heat from the engine to produce the cooling of the vehicle cabin. The developed global model is completely dynamic and is able to: reproduce the operation of the engine through a standard driving cycle, evaluate the waste heat available at the engine hydraulic loop; calculate the sequential operation of an adsorptiondesorption system, calculate the condensed water per cycle, the cooling effect produced at the evaporator, and finally, the temperature and humidity evolution of the air inside the cabin. The model was validated by experimental data. The experimental tests were performed in a lab-scale adsorption chiller prototype specifically designed and realized to be driven by the low grade waste heat (80-90°C) from the engine coolant loop of a truck. The experimental activity carried out showed that the chiller is able to generate up to 5 kW of peak cooling power at 10°C (35°C of condensation temperature) with a COP of 0.6. The obtained results show that the system could be able to provide a significant amount of the required cooling. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier. Copyright, 2010].
