Abstract
An apparatus, comprising an engine, and an energy-management system configured to recirculate, at least in part, carbon dioxide relative to the engine in such a way that the carbon dioxide exchanges, at least in part, energy relative to the engine once the carbon dioxide is made to recirculate, at least in part, along the energy-management system.
Claims34
An apparatus, comprising:
- a heat-generating assembly of an engine being configured to generate heat once actuated to do just so;
- and
- a cooling system being configured to circulate a cooling medium having carbon dioxide relative to the heat-generating assembly in such a way that the carbon dioxide conveys heat from the heat-generating assembly to the cooling medium, and the cooling medium transports the heat away from the heat-generating assembly.
An apparatus for a heat-generating assembly of an engine of a movable vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a cooling system being configured to:
- be positioned proximate to the heat-generating assembly of the engine;
- and
- circulate a cooling medium having carbon dioxide relative to the heat-generating assembly in such a way that the carbon dioxide conveys heat from the heat-generating assembly to the cooling medium, and the cooling medium transports the heat away from the heat-generating assembly.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- circulating a cooling medium having carbon dioxide relative to a heat-generating assembly of an engine in such a way that the carbon dioxide conveys heat from the heat-generating assembly to the cooling medium, and the cooling medium transports the heat away from the heat-generating assembly.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine including:
- a heat-generating assembly;
- and
- a cooling system being configured to:
- be positioned relative to the heat-generating assembly, and
- recirculate a cooling medium having carbon dioxide relative to the heat-generating assembly in such a way that the carbon dioxide conveys heat from the heat-generating assembly to the cooling medium, and the cooling medium transports the heat away from the heat-generating assembly.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- an engine being configured to generate energy having a first amount of the energy being usable, at least in part, for performing work, and also having a second amount of the energy not being useable, at least in part, to perform the work;
- and
- an energy-management system being configured to recirculate, at least in part, carbon dioxide relative to the engine in such a way that the carbon dioxide receives, at least in part, the second amount of the energy not being useable to perform the work once the carbon dioxide is made to recirculate, at least in part, along the energy-management system.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an engine;
- and
- an energy-management system being configured to recirculate, at least in part, carbon dioxide relative to the engine in such a way that the carbon dioxide exchanges, at least in part, energy relative to the engine once the carbon dioxide is made to recirculate, at least in part, along the energy-management system.
An apparatus for an engine, the apparatus comprising:
- an energy-management system being configured to recirculate, at least in part, carbon dioxide relative to the engine in such a way that the carbon dioxide exchanges, at least in part, energy relative to the engine once the carbon dioxide is made to recirculate, at least in part, along the energy-management system.
