In the world there are thousands of technologists to develop more efficient engines. So, Dr. Luis Juanico, a researcher at CONICET, decided to focus on energy issues from another point of view. "As it is difficult to tell people not to use the car, it occurred to me to propose to make an intelligent and caring," he says.
And that developed a device that can recover waste heat generated in combustion engines internal (such as cars and trucks) and dissipated into the environment, to heat water at a temperature close to boiling.
Why would heat water on board a car? "In fact, for very little-recognized. Therefore, while there were numerous patents on this subject, some nearly 100 years old, none was implemented. Conicet when he made the record search found them, but ours as claimed is not the use on board the car, but its community use through a simple but clever system for loading and unloading every time you park to "donate" to buildings public and thereby reduce the use of fossil fuels for heating or to heat water for sanitary use. "According to the researcher, this could be achieved by installing a water tank that surrounds the tailpipe and / or a water tank stand between the engine and radiator, to take advantage of the heat provided by exhaust gases.
"Every car should have two hoses to" attach mouths "on the fender which can be connected with a pair of complementary-detailed hoses -. A charging system would allow intelligent, automatic download hot and cold water recharge. In turn, the hot water pumped into the building. May die in less than a minute, but require the user collaboration. "
To Juanicó, offering development to universities and technical schools in the country interested in building a prototype, systems like these would significantly reduce energy consumption in developed countries , where almost half the primary energy used in heating homes. "The amount of energy that is" strip "on the orders of the world is monstrous, two-thirds of that used in the combustion engine is wasted in the form heat. "
