Abstract

In this paper, a thermal management concept for future intercity and long-distance vehicles is described in which the waste heat from a fuel cell system was being used for heating the cabin inlet air. To this end, various waste heat utilization concepts are created with different location of heat-exchanges and PTC-heaters and then modeled in the simulation environment Modelica/Dymola. From the obtained simulation results, a suitable waste heat utilization concept is examined in the entire vehicle.
