A condensation cooling system for motor vehicles is presented. The system, in principal part, comprises a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger for circulating a first coolant, a coolant tank for circulating a second coolant, and a condensing panel or surface, where the condensing panel is part of the coolant tank and also functions as a vehicle body panel. These components are arranged in two circuits, i.e. an engine cooling circuit in which a first coolant is circulated and a vapor condensing circuit in which a second coolant is circulated. The two cooling circuits are interconnected by the coolant tank where the heat exchanger is positioned within the coolant tank such that it is immersed in the second coolant. The coolant tank may also be equipped with pressure release valves, electric fans and diffuser plates to control pressure and manage air and vapor flow internally within the tank.

Present disclosure relates to air cooling chamber assembly. The air cooling chamber assembly includes: an air intake duct receiving ambient air outside of an internal combustion engine, an air cooling chamber cooling the ambient air received from the air intake duct to generate cooled air, and an air output duct providing the cooled air generated from the air cooling chamber to the internal combustion engine. The air cooling chamber assembly is connected to engine air intake of the internal combustion engine to cool the ambient air to generate the cooled air prior to entering the internal combustion engine, and to provide the cooled air generated to engine air intake of the internal combustion engine. The cooled air from air cooling chamber contains increased amount of oxygen molecules, and increased amount of oxygen molecules in the cooled air improves fuel efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emission of the internal combustion engine.

An arrangement for converting thermal energy from lost heat of an internal combustion engine into mechanical energy includes a working circuit for a working medium. An expansion engine is disposed in the working circuit. A heat exchanger is mounted upstream of the expansion engine in a flow direction of the working medium where the working circuit extends through the heat exchange. The heat exchanger includes an exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger having a cold part and a warm part, an exhaust gas heat exchanger, and a phase transition cooling in the internal combustion engine. The heat exchanger is formed by serial connection in a sequence of the cold part of the exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger, the exhaust gas heat exchanger, the phase transition cooling in the internal combustion engine, and the warm part of the exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger.
