Abstract:
In conventional vehicles, about 40% of fuel energy is converted into useful power, and the rest is directed to the environment by cooling and exhaust systems, which, in addition to energy loss, are also one of the main sources of air pollution. At present, all over the world, food suppliers use online orders for their customers to move ready-made food from the place of production, such as restaurants, to their destination while maintaining its quality. However, along this route, due to the long distances that cause heat loss from the food container, it creates problems for food to cool or heat drinks in online orders. Therefore, using a thermosyphon in the exhaust gas path to recover waste heat is one of the methods that can be used in addition to solving the problem of existing pollution with heating applications and also for cooling applications of vehicle electricity as chamber cooling. In this research, a mobile combined cycle (heating-cooling chamber) was used to keep the chamber warm with the best filling percentage of 75% in all inlet capacities for 25 minutes to about 48 °C using a thermosyphon and cool the other chamber for 8 minutes. It was designed and built up to a temperature of about 5 °C with the help of thermoelectric cooling.
