About the project

  • Project to develop a tailored thermal heat-pump component to be integrated in Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Systems in HDV’s
  • Built upon project partner ClimateWell’s established sorption technology
  • Potential to reduce fuel consumption in HDV’s by up to 3-4%

Swedish company ClimateWell were appointed to develop a tailored thermal heat-pump component to be integrated into a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for use in a range of HDV’s in a drive to improve fuel efficiency. This project sought to develop a system with the ability to use the hot exhaust gasses generated on vehicles to cool the vehicle cabin by using ClimateWell’s heat pump component design. ClimateWell’s established sorption technology was based on the principle of a chemical heat pump technology with integrated energy storage in a salt solution.

Modelling analysis showed that using such technology had the potential to reduce fuel consumption in HDV’s by up to 3-4% depending on the vehicle and its operating conditions. This was an important contribution to the overall HDV programme objective to improve overall fuel efficiency in HDV fleet by at least 30%.
