PGW Glass To Improve Vehicular Fuel-Efficiency
Pittsburgh Glass Works offers something to the PHEV that will certainly help boost its fuel-efficiency drive. Thanks to its technology, car air conditioning systems will get a big boost as far as providing the proper in-car temperature, taking the load of car engines to do so.
“Over repeated UDDS cycles, the Sungate EP glazing reduced the air conditioning power and resulted in an increase in fuel economy,” said John Rugh, Senior Mechanical Engineer for NREL. “The adjusted, utility factor-weighted fuel economy increased from 36.8 to 42.9 mpg for the Sungate EP thermal load case, while the adjusted, UF-weighted electrical energy consumption was roughly equivalent.”
