Summary:
Much of the discussion focused on the radiator and the air-side heat removal. It was felt
that with the additional heat load (20 to 50%) of an EGR heat exchanger, it would be a
challenge simply to keep the radiator size constant. The emphasis was on compact
systems; radial fans, which are in the advanced prototype stage; and development of more
advanced fans. Throughout the discussions, durability was emphasized. It was also
mentioned several times that most of any new radiator technology could be applied to
reefer technology. Some of the most important areas worthy of DOE support are
enumerated below.
