  • Technical Review on Study of Compressed Air Vehicle (Cav)
    International Journal of Automobile Engineering Research & Development (IJAuERD) ISSN 2277-4785 Vol. 3, Issue 1, Mar 2013, 81-90 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. TECHNICAL REVIEW ON STUDY OF COMPRESSED AIR VEHICLE (CAV) HEMANT KUMAR NAYAK, DEVANSHU GOSWAMI & VINAY HABLANI Department of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Technology and Management, Sitholi, Gwalior, MP, India ABSTRACT Diesel and Petrol engine are frequently used by automobiles industries. Their impact on environment is disastrous and can’t be neglected now. In view of above, the need of some alternative fuel has been arises which lead to the development of CAVs (Compressed Air Vehicle). It is an innovative concept of using a pressurized atmospheric air up to a desired pressure to run the engine of vehicles. Manufacturing of such vehicles would be environment friendly as well as put the favorable conditions for the cost. Applications of such compressed air driven engine are in small motor cars, bikes and can be used in the vehicles to be driven for shorter distances. This technology states that, if at 20 degree C, 300 liters tank filled with air at 300 bar carries 51MJ of energy, experimentally proved. Under ideal reversible isothermal conditions, this energy could be entirely converted to mechanical work which helps the piston and finally crankshaft to rotate at desired RPM (revolutions per minute).The result shows the comparison of different properties related to CAV and FE (Fuel Engines). For example emission of toxic gases, running cost, engine efficiency, maintenance, weight aspects etc. KEYWORDS: Compressed Air Vehicle, Fuel Engine, Compressed Air Technology INTRODUCTION Compressed air has been used since the 19th century to power mine locomotives and trams in cities such as Paris and was previously the basis of naval torpedo propulsion.

  • Life Cycle Assessment of Conventional and Alternative Fuels for Vehicles
    Life Cycle Assessment of Conventional and Alternative Fuels for Vehicles By HUSEYIN KARASU A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science University of Ontario Institute of Technology Oshawa, Ontario, Canada August 2018 © Huseyin Karasu, 2018 Abstract For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this thesis study, a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicle technologies is performed, and the results are presented comparatively. The aim of the study is to investigate the environmental impact of different fuels for vehicles. A large variety of fueling options, such as diesel, electric, ethanol, gasoline, hybrid, hydrogen, methane, methanol and natural gas are considered for life cycle assessment of vehicles. The study results are shown in abiotic depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming, ozone layer depletion and human toxicity potential using three different impact assessment methods. The analyses show that hydrogen vehicle is found to have the lowest environmental impacts with ozone layer depletion of 8.14×10-10 kg CFC-11-eq/km and the human toxicity potential of 0.0017 kg (1,4 DB)-eq/km respectively. On the other hand, the gasoline-powered vehicle shows a poor performance in all categories with the global warming potential of 0.20 kg CO2- eq/km. Keywords: Life cycle assessment; Vehicles; Fuels; Hydrogen; Electric vehicles; natural gas; Ethanol; Methanol.

Through a series of press releases and demonstrations, a car using energy stored in compressed air produced by a compressor has been suggested as an environmentally friendly vehicle of the future. We analyze the thermodynamic efficiency of a compressed-air car powered by a pneumatic engine and consider the merits of compressed air versus chemical storage of potential energy. Even under highly optimistic assumptions the compressed-air car is significantly less efficient than a battery electric vehicle and produces more greenhouse gas emissions than a conventional gas-powered car with a coal intensive power mix. However, a pneumatic–combustion hybrid is technologically feasible, inexpensive and could eventually compete with hybrid electric vehicles.

Or trop de nouveaux modèles sont trop lourds, des matériaux plus légers ayant des caractéristiques mécaniques équivalentes mais une masse volumique plus faible sont sous employés. La communication des constructeurs portent essentiellement sur les modèles haut de gamme, donc lourds et émetteurs de gaz à effet de serre. 10 Les résultats ne sont pas assez rapides 12 Current legislation is to weak, it needs to be more efficient and take the positive climatic effects of biofuels and electricity in to account 16 Die Verordnung sollte sparsame Autos und alternative Antriebe unterstützen, wobei natürlich aber nicht nur rein auf die CO2 Werte im Verbrauch geachtet werden sollte, sondern auch jene von Produktion, Wartung und allgemeinen Verschleiß (auch von Straßen etc) und sollte daher auch mit dem Fahrzeuggewicht zu tun haben!

TETRA IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES (HTTP://WWW.GETTYIMAGES.COM) Gasoline is already the fuel of the past. It might not seem that way as you fill up on your way to work, but the petroleum used to make it is gradually running out. It also pollutes air that's becoming increasingly unhealthy to breathe, and people no longer want to pay the high prices that oil companies are charging for it. Automobile manufacturers know all of this and have spent lots of time and money to find and develop the fuel of the future. The search is on, but what will this fuel of the future be? Ready-made fuels like petroleum are becoming more difficult to find and automobile manufacturers are turning to greener energy sources like batteries. These batteries can be charged with energy and placed in a car where that energy can be released. As good as that idea might seem, some manufacturers think air could become an even better energy source. Air? At first glance, the idea of running a car on air seems almost too good to be true.

Also the conventional fuels are about to end in some years. This necessitates the search for alternative fuels. Compressed air is one of the best alternative fuels which are easily available in atmosphere in abundant form. The main objective of this project is to reduce dependency of vehicle on conventional fuel. The air car is a car currently being developed which is still in the R&D stage all over the world. Compressed air is stored in storage tank with some modifications from the compressor. The pneumatic motor (vane type motor) is used to convert pressure energy into mechanical energy. The rotation of air motor is controlled by controlling the air flow with the help of air gun (flow control valve). The gear box is provided at the end of motor shaft for increasing torque capacity of vehicle. Unlike conventional transmission system includes clutch, counter shaft, flywheel, propeller shaft, differential, our pneumatic motor is coupled to the rear wheel with intermediate gear box which greatly reduces the transmission losses and weight of vehicle. The running and maintenance cost for air car is less than conventional cars.

    54 The Open Fuels & Energy Science Journal, 2008, 1, 54-56 Open Access Air Powered Vehicles S.S. Verma* Department of Physics, S.L.I.E.T. (Deemed to be University), Longowal, Distt.-Sangrur, Punjab, 148 106, India Abstract: Light utility vehicles are becoming very popular means of independent transportation for short distances. Cost and pollution with petrol and diesel are leading vehicle manufacturers to develop vehicles fueled by alternative energies. Engineers are directing their efforts to make use of air as an energy source to run the light utility vehicles. The use of compressed air for storing energy is a method that is not only efficient and clean, but also economical. The major problem with compressed air cars was the lack of torque produced by the "engines" and the cost of compressing the air. Recently several companies have started to develop compressed air vehicles with many advantages and still many serious bottlenecks to tackle. This paper briefly summarize the principle of technology, latest developments, advantages and problems in using compressed air as a source of energy to run vehicles. Keywords: Environmntal pollution, alternative energies, compressed air, air powered vehicles. 1. INTRODUCTION although none has been released to the public so far.
