Vehicle Thermal Management Systems Conference Proceedings (VTMS11) : 15-16 May 2013, Coventry Technocentre, UK

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). The challenges facing vehicle thermal management continue to increase and optimise thermal energy management must continue as an integral part of any vehicle development programme. VTMS11 covers the latest research and technological advances in industry and academia, automotive and off-highway. Topics addressed 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.

• Covers the latest research and technological advances
• Brings together developments from industry and academia
• Presents leading edge research on optimised thermal energy management
