The challenges facing vehicle thermal management are continually increasing. Whether it is achieving vehicle CO2 targets or maximizing electric vehicle range, optimized thermal energy management must be an integral part of any vehicle development program. This book contains the papers of the Vehicle Thermal Management Systems (VTMS 11) Conference, which was held at the Coventry TechnoCentre, UK, May 15-16, 2013. The papers cover the latest research and technological advances from industry and academia, from automotive to off-highway vehicles.
Topics include:
IC Engine thermal loading, exhaust, and emissions
HEV, EV, and alternative powertrain challenges
Waste heat recovery and thermodynamic efficiency improvement
Cooling systems
Heating, A/C, comfort and climate control
Underhood heat transfer and air flow management
Heat exchange components design, materials, and manufacture
Thermal systems analysis, control, and integration
VTMS 11 is an international conference for vehicle thermal management systems, organized jointly by the Automobile Division and the Combustion Engines & Fuels Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
