ACTIVE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM USING LOST THERMAL ENERGY TO SEQUESTER AND MINIMIZE CO2 EMISSIONS

摘要

The method involves collecting a coolant of an engine block in a hose or rigid or flexible pipe after circulation of the coolant across a cooling path of an internal combustion engine, where the engine exits the coolant under the form of vapor or liquid heated at more than 60 degree centigrade. The coolant is circulated in a heat exchanger (1) that functions with exhaust gas in an outlet of the engine. The heat exchanger is provided with a metal pipe to realize changing of liquid phase into vapor phase and to increase temperature of the coolant.
