Inventor: STANNARD JOHN HAMILTON
IPC: F28D7/10
Filed: 2011-03-30
Abstract: A system is provided for capturing energy from heat expelled in an exhaust of an engine of a motor vehicle and storing the captured energy. The system comprises a generator, a condenser, an evaporator, and an absorber. The generator captures heat from the exhaust of the engine and may be configured for circulating a first solution having a solute that is vaporizable by heat captured by the generator. The condenser may be coupled to the generator for receiving vaporized solute and condensing the vaporized solute to a liquid. The evaporator may be coupled to the condenser and have an orifice between the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator may have a first fluid passage for circulating the solute and a second fluid passage for circulating a second solution. The first and second fluid passages may be configured such that solute running through the first fluid passage is vaporizable by heat absorbed from the second solution running through the second fluid passage, thereby cooling the second solution. The absorber may be coupled to the evaporator and the generator. The absorber may be configured to return the solute to solution by mixing the solute with a solvent of the first solution supplied by the generator, and for returning the first solution to the generator to complete a cycle of the system.

Abstract: A method of making a silicon hot surface igniter is described. A silicon carbide hot surface igniter is a semi-conductive, ceramic body that heats up when subjected to an electric current. A silicon carbide slurry composition, free of densification aids and including both a fines fraction and a coarse fraction of silicon carbide, is molded into the shape of the igniter to from a "green" igniter body that is subsequently heated in a sintering process to solidify the green body. The slurry is sintered in a nitrogen and argon reducing atmosphere in coordination with particular sintering time and temperature windows to control the incorporation of nitrogen within the lattice of recrystallized silicon carbide. The controlled incorporation of nitrogen in the lattice provides enhanced control over heating and electrical properties, while simultaneously achieving a lower surface area fully recrystallized structure for oxidation resistance and long service life.
