For a customer, a producer of test bench control systems employed in the automotive sector and other sectors as well, we supply thermoregulation units aimed to heat the motor oil and/or the fuel and/or the several motor fluids involved in the testing. The test benches are employed in duration testing, the testing of performances and destructive testing of new generation automotive internal combustion engines.

The thermoregulation units are sophisticated in order to ensure high performance levels of temperature control. The test bench application requires indeed quick response times reacting to the set-point variations forced by the test cycle and the stresses applied, in addition to maintaining the required temperature with a precision of +/- 1° C.

Is great to see that R&D is going on in the CHP sector, which in Italy is still having large opportunities to increase energy efficiency, with applications in the industry but also for medium-small utilities, such as SME and residential sites thanks to micro-cogeneration and microgrids.

The cogeneration is the combined generation of electricity and heat, through the thermal recovery from engine’s water jacket and from high-temperature exhaust waste coming from a primary fuel combustion source, using heat exchangers. The primary engine generators can be an endothermic engine, gas or vapor turbines, and in most advanced solutions ORC turbogenerators, micro turbines, fuel cells and Stirling motors. Beside traditional fossil fuels, cogeneration plants also employ biogas and biomasses, as well as hydrogen in fuel cell technology systems.

Tempco has many case histories and applications in the CHP sector, supplying equipments such as heat-exchangers/condensers, in corrosion resistant materials, high-efficiency radiators for heat dissipation and cooling towers, for evaporative condenser cooling. The Tempo range of solutions are installed in several points of the cogeneration process:

– Heat recovery units (T RECOGEN)
– Heat dissipation systems (T FIN ENGINE)
– Biogas treatment (T RECOGEN BIO)
– Biodiesel pre-heating (T START ENGINE)

High performances and reliability of this plate heat exchangers with special plate design fulfill the wide availability and low to very high temperature requirements essential in order to increase the efficiency of Fuel cell systems. Heat exchangers are indeed an essential equipment in several steps of the system:

– Thermal management system (cooling)
– Heat recovery
– Humidity control
– Control temperature in reforming reactions processes

Nickel brazed plate heat exchangers are suitable for Polymeric electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC), but also for m-CHP (micro Combined Heat & Power) and CCP (Combined Cooling & Power), both for heat recovery during the process and along the thermal and water management of the Fuel cell system, for example in fuel pre-heating and humidity control entering the fuel cell stack. Among the several developments, from residential to industrial processes, a very interesting application of fuel cells is growing in the automotive industry, with the application of Fuel cell systems in electric vehicles for sustainable mobility of the future.
