Schlegel und Partner at the 10th International MTZ Conference 2015 Heavy-Duty-, On- and Off-Highway Engines
“Sustainable concepts put to the test” is the motto of the MTZ conference “Heavy-Duty, On- and Off-Highway Engines” on November 24th and 25th, 2015.

The current vehicle and engine development in the heavy duty segment is strongly driven by efficiency and emission targets. Due to the high importance of fuel consumption in the commercial vehicle segment and the related total costs of ownership (TCO), these developments are not only driven by the legislative side. Therefore, everyone is talking about Waste Heat Recovery systems.
Various technologies such as Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) or thermoelectric generator (TEG), are currently being discussed by all market participants. ORC technologies will come to the market first. But even here, there are several options and ways to increase efficiency: Which medium will be used? Water, ethanol or another coolant? Will energy conversion be based on a piston engine or turbine? How will the energy be used?

Waste heat recovery –
Market view for Technology Leadership
