An integrated vehicle on-board system configured to generate hydrogen and to introduce the generated hydrogen into an exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine, the system including a water-splitting article configured to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and a hydrogen injection article configured to introduce the hydrogen into the exhaust gas stream, is effective for the abatement of carbon monoxide and/or hydrocarbons and/or nitrogen oxides. The introduction of hydrogen may be intermittent and/or during a cold-start period.

A mobile emissions control system having an emission capturing system and emission control system is provided for diesel engines operated on ocean-going ships at-berth. The emissions control system may be mounted on a towable chassis or mounted on a barge, allowing it to be placed alongside ocean-going ships at-berth. A crane or boom transfers a duct of the emissions capturing system extending from the emissions control system to the ship to capture exhaust from its engine. Alternatively, the system may be mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) equipped with a tower and a crane. The crane mounted on the AGV then lifts the duct forming part of the emissions capture system to the ship's exhaust system to capture exhaust from the ship's diesel engine and transfers it to the emissions control system, which cleans the exhaust and then passes clean air into the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet.

A liquid conservation device that utilizes a heat exchanger to condense water vapor from exhaust gas emanating from an exhaust treatment. Water evaporated during the emissions control process is recovered and returned for reuse, thereby significantly reducing the water requirement of the exhaust treatment. This is especially helpful for a mobile emissions control system that is normally not directly connected to a water utility.

A muffler with ease discharge of condensate may include a housing formed of a cylinder shape and provided with an end plate at both end portions thereof, at least one baffle disposed in the housing to divide the internal space of housing into a plurality of chambers, an inlet pipe introducing exhaust gas in the housing, an outlet pipe discharging the exhaust gas from the housing the outside, so that the exhaust gas flowed into the inlet pipe flows through the chamber divided in the housing to be discharged through the outlet pipe, a condensate collecting tube disposed along the lower surface of the housing and provided with a passage in which the condensate gathered in the lower surface of the housing is introduced to be flowed and a condensate inducing tube connecting the condensate collecting tube and the outlet pipe.

A thermoelectric power generation device including a thermoelectric element having a first side provided to a heating unit and a second side provided to a cooling unit, and a heat transfer pipe arranged in a passage in which a high temperature fluid flows. The heating unit and the heat transfer pipe have internal spaces communicating with each other. The internal space of the heating unit and the internal space of the heat transfer pipe form a circulation path in which a heat medium is circulated. An outlet of the heat transfer pipe from which the heat medium is discharged is provided in a position higher than an inlet of the heat transfer pipe into which the heat medium flows. The heat transfer pipe vaporizes the heat medium flowing in the circulation path by using heat of the high temperature fluid. The heating unit condenses the heat medium vaporized.

The diesel-steam power plant is equipped with a water-to-water type heat exchanger and the oil cooling system is equipped with an oil-to-water type heat exchanger, additionally introduced into the design of the proposed invention of the water supply system, a steam generator with a steam turbine and a steam condenser and cooling circulation systems are additionally introduced to the diesel-steam power plant liquids.

An absorption chiller system includes a generator section, a condenser section, an evaporator section and an absorber section all in fluid communication with each other and which operate to circulate a refrigerant therethrough. The evaporator section includes a transport membrane heat exchanger. The transport membrane heat exchanger includes a first and a second flow path. The first flow path is operable to flow the refrigerant therethrough under a vacuum pressure that is low enough to vaporize the refrigerant within the first flow path. The second flow path is operable to pass a fluid having water therethrough. Both water and heat are transferred from the fluid in the second flow path to the refrigerant in the first flow path through a membrane-based material of the transport membrane heat exchanger, such that the fluid passing through the second flow path has at least a portion of its water removed and is cooled.

An exhaust gas system for a hydrogen combustion engine including for a vehicle, the exhaust gas system including: a first engine exhaust gas cooler accommodating a flow of engine exhaust gas therethrough for dissipating heat from the engine exhaust gas; a separator being configured to separate condensate contained in the engine exhaust gas in a region of the first engine exhaust gas cooler and/or downstream of the first engine exhaust gas cooler; and, an engine exhaust gas heater being configured to warm the engine exhaust gas in a region of the separator and/or downstream of the separator.

A water neutralization system that includes a first source of water that is acidic and a second source of water that is basic. A storage reservoir communicates with each of the first source and the second source, and includes a pH sensor that is configured to transmit a signal indicative of a pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir. At least one valve controls fluid communication between the storage reservoir and at least one of the first source and the second source, and a controller communicates with each of the pH sensor and the valve. Based on the signal indicative of the pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir, the controller instructs the valve to adjust an amount of water received from at least one of the first source and the second source to neutralize a pH of the water stored in the storage reservoir.

Methods and systems are provided for carrying out on-board diagnostics of a plurality of components of an exhaust heat exchange system. In one example, degradation of one or more of a heat exchanger and a coolant system fluidically coupled to the heat exchanger may be detected based on a first temperature estimated upstream of the heat exchanger, a second temperature sensor estimated downstream of the heat exchanger, a coolant temperature, and a pressure estimated upstream of the heat exchanger. Also, degradation of a diverter valve of the heat exchange system may be detected based on inputs of a position sensor coupled to the diverter valve.
