Abstract
A control system for a vehicle having a CO2 capturing device configured to capture CO2 certainly from gas streams. The CO2 captured by the CO2 capturing device is desorbed from the CO2 capturing device by an energy available in the vehicle. A controller is configured to discharge the CO2 captured by the CO2 capturing device into the recovery station by energy delivered from the recovery station to the CO2 capturing device when the energy available in the vehicle is less than a predetermined value.
Claims14
A control system for a vehicle having a CO2 capturing device that captures CO2 from gas stream and discharges the captured CO2 to an external recovery station, comprising:
- a controller that controls the vehicle,
- wherein the controller is configured to
- desorb the CO2 captured by the CO2 capturing device from the CO2 capturing device by an energy available in the vehicle so as to discharge the CO2 from the CO2 capturing device into the recovery station,
- determine whether the energy available in the vehicle is less than a predetermined value,
- deliver energy from the recovery station to the CO2 capturing device when the energy available in the vehicle is less than the predetermined value, and
- discharge the CO2 captured by the CO2 capturing device into the recovery station by the energy delivered from the recovery station to the CO2 capturing device.
