Popis: In 2013, the Euro VI emissions standard will come into force. Thermal management has a significant role to play in meeting this standard. The optimization of the engine cooling system, introduced by Behr, can lead to a 3 to 5 % fuel consumption reduction in a Euro VI engined vehicle. A further reduction of up to 5 % may be possible through the integration of a rankine cycle system into the vehicle, since this process allows the unused exhaust heat to be converted into useful work.
