Clean Tailpipe Technology * UK - May Power Reefer Truck Units

The "zero carbon footprint" technology is being developed by the Clean Power Technologies Company in England



Newhaven,East Sussex,UK -Clean Power Technologies Inc. -12 Oct 2009: -- Companies that haul refrigerated products may soon have new cheap and clean technology to power their reefer units. The Clean Energy Storage and Recovery system (CESAR) uses heat from a truck's tailpipe to generate power to run the refrigeration unit...The CESAR system broadly consists of a sophisticated 'box shaped' heat exchanging device that fits into the vehicle exhaust pipe and is supplied by pumped water from a feeder Tank. Heat energy can be stored in many ways in many substances, but none better that water, the liquid that, with its high latent heat and general thermal properties make it so crucial to life on earth. Saturated water can contain large amounts of energy which can easily and cleanly be released as steam vapour to produce mechanical power. The steam is super-heated to approximately 350 degrees Celsius with a pressure of approximately 40 Bar. The generated steam is fed through electronic and mechanical control and regulating devices to power a steam engine. The steam engine exhausts into a condenser which returns condensed water through an oil separator back to the feeder tank thus completing a 'Closed Loop' system. A small supplementary diesel burner is fitted inside the heat exchanger as a back-up should steam power still be required when the vehicle's engine is shut down...
