Energetic analysis and development of a new recovery system from a combustion engine of a vehicle for cooling and storage of eutectic plates for drugs

Abstract

Since the industrial revolution, the way of life of Western societies has been inextricably linked with the presence of affordable and easily accessible energy. This model of “modern” and energyintensive civilization has since spread widely across the globe and continues to gain ground in developing countries today. This was made possible by an energy supply mainly provided by fossil fuels, to the point that these currently represent more than 80% of the world’s primary energy production. But, because of the greenhouse gas emissions that it produces, this energy consumption, which has become gigantic and still growing on a global scale, is at the origin of climate change that must now be mitigated and which must be addressed. Adapt throughout this century. In this context of an everworsening environmental crisis, the energy transition appears to be the cornerstone of the fight against climate change and more generally as a centrepiece of sustainable development, at all levels, from local to global. In short, it is the centrepiece of a broader transition to a lowcarbon economy and society and sustainable lifestyles. On a global scale and in a context of triumphant modern civilization, the ultimate and urgent question concerns, not our ability to meet growing energy needs in the coming decades, but rather our ability to control energy consumption. (energy management, lifestyles, territorial organization, etc.) while developing as quickly as possible the share of “green” energies in our energy systems, to the point where they will become dominant, or even possibly the only ones. major forms of exploited energy resources. A large-scale energy transition therefore appears essential.
