Reduced Weight Power Generation and Air Conditioning Units to Improve Mobility With Electric Vehicle Technology

Energy conservation in an electric vehicle requires high efficient operation of components using light weight materials. This technology will be applied t the mobile military APU units. The generator and compressor designs are smaller, lighter and highly efficient using a different technology. A new compressor currently designed by a member of our Team uses a highly efficient anti-friction orbital rotating machine which has fewer moving parts and lighter weight unit in the smallest space possible with both cooling and heating capabilities. The vapor compression air conditioning/heat pump cycle design is the most commerically-viable system yet developed. The heat exchangers, valves, compressor and motor will optimize efficiency and weight. Using new materials. The DynEco hat pump deisgn should provide a 30 percent decerase in weight and fuel consumption. Using the External Combusion Thermal Amplification Motor (ECTAM) technology motor operating at higher efficincies using a variety of fuels will be evaluated for use in the APU. The generator design uses cooling vanes and magnet designs that allows for a smaller and light weight with higher efficiency. A new configuration of the DC buss will supply the required power requirements while meeting reduced weight requirements.
