Abstract

An Auxiliary Air Conditioner (AAC) system, which decreases the cabin air conditioning load of Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) powered Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (SI ICEV), has been proposed in this study. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Particulate Matters (PM10 & PM2.5), Sulfur Oxides (SOx), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions are theoretically calculated using GREET software developed by Argonne National Laboratory for decades between 2010 and 2050. The results of the study show that the proposed novel system decreases all emissions emitted from LH2 SI ICEVs decreasing both Well-To-Pump (WTP) and Well-To-Wheel (WTW) emissions. These decreases are around 3 g/year for VOC, 20 g/year for CO, 13 g/year for NOx, 1 g/year for both PM10 and PM2.5, 1 g/year for SOx, and 16 kg/year for CO2.
