Abstract: This paper presents the simulations and experiments for the development of a hybrid and reversible mobile air conditioning, organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) system. This flexible and compact system may be the solution to the introduction of waste heat recovery in passenger cars. The cycle fuel economy is calculated for series hybrid electric vehicles (SHEVs). A global vehicle model is used to simulate the annual weather conditions of different climatic regions. The reference driving cycle is the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Cycle.
