Automotive clean cold technology is an emerging zero-emission technology which is
especially design to provide power and refrigeration for automotive which used for
transportation and logistics of variety of temperature sensitive goods. This technology
uses a mature process of liquefaction, in which liquid nitrogen is used to provide power
and refrigeration to an automotive. The technology offers advantages such as potential
savings in fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and better cold chain temperature
control and stability.
Delivery truck using refrigeration system is operates through two diesel engines, primary
engine provides optimum power to drive truck and secondary engine is used to provide
cold space inside truck. According to the report published by 19th European Cold Chain
Conference, secondary engine used for providing cold space is consume up to 20% of
vehicle diesel, releases 6 times more mono nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 29 times more
particulate matter than Euro VI engine, and also leaks up to 30% refrigerants.
Refrigerants have high global warming potential and emission of refrigerants can impact
adversely air quality. Hence there is a need of clean technology which not only provides
efficient cooling function but also ensure low emission for an automotive. Clean cold
technology is a novel approach to overcome fuel efficiency and pollution problems
associated with an automobiles. This technology utilize vast amount of cold lost to
environment during regasification of liquefied natural gas or nitrogen or liquid air. Cold
lost to environment can be used to boost efficiency of engine at low temperature, to
provide zero emission cooling and power for an automobile.
