Abstract
A CO2 recovery system used in a vehicle includes a CO2 recovery device recovering CO2 contained in inflowing gas; and a flow rate control device controlling flow rates of gases present in a plurality of different regions of the vehicle flowing into the CO2 recovery device. The gases present at the plurality of different regions include at least any two among air at an outside of the vehicle, air at an inside of the vehicle, and exhaust gas discharged from a body of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle.
Claims9
A CO2 recovery system used in a vehicle, comprising:
- a CO2 recovery device recovering CO2 contained in inflowing gas;
- and
- a flow rate control device controlling flow rates of gases present in a plurality of different regions of the vehicle flowing into the CO2 recovery device,
- wherein the gases present at the plurality of different regions include at least any two among air at an outside of the vehicle, air at an inside of the vehicle, and exhaust gas discharged from a body of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle,
- the flow rate control device has a switching device arranged at an upstream side of the CO2 recovery device in a direction of flow of the gas and a pump forcibly sending gases from a plurality of different regions through the switching device to the CO2 recovery device,
- the switching device switches the gas to be flowed to the CO2 recovery device among the gases present in the plurality of different regions,
- the vehicle has an internal combustion engine having the body of the internal combustion engine and an exhaust passage through which exhaust gas discharged from the body of the internal combustion engine flows,
- the gases present at the plurality of different regions include exhaust gas discharged from the body of the internal combustion engine, and
- the switching device communicates with the exhaust passage so that exhaust gas can flow to the switching device from the exhaust passage.
