Description
The global demand for power and cooling is ever increasing leading to increased fossil fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world’s demand for electricity will
increase by more than 70% by 2040 compared to the levels in 2015. Also, it is predicted that the energy
demand for space cooling will overtake space heating by 2060 and will exceed it by 60% by 2100 to reach
10,000TWh. The project will deliver a cost-effective zero emission system for power and cooling in confined
spaces, by adapting the cutting-edge Dearman Engine (DE), a rankine-cycle expander currently powered by
liquid nitrogen (LN2) to utilise liquid air. The use of LAir instead of LN2 provides very attractive proposition for
Dearman given its availability, simpler production process but most importantly its safety features. The
University of Birmingham in collaboration with Dearman will develop a LAir driven Dearman engine and
correlate its performance with LAir composition and properties from storage to exhaust.
