压缩空气动力汽车的研究与发展

在对多种替代燃料汽车和电动汽车进行比较综述的基础上，介绍了压缩空气动力汽车的工作原理、结构特点和性能特性。从能量利用的角度分析了压缩空气动力汽车的效率问题和可行性，比较了压缩空气动力能源与电池能源、燃料能源的特性，并与目前最为看好的氢燃料电池电动汽车的多种特性进行了全面的对比。结合浙江大学所开展的初步研究工作，指出了压缩空气动力汽车项目需进行的主要研究内容，认为压缩空气动力汽车是一种真正“零污染”的、有广阔市场前景的新概念的“绿色汽车”。

RESEARCH AND PROGRESS OF THE COMPRESSED AIR POWER VEHICLE

Based on the investigation on present achievements and the problems of many kinds of replacement-fuel vehicles and electric vehicles(EV), the principle, the structure features and the zero-pollution characteristics of the compressed air powered vehicle(CAPV) are presented and the achievements of the CAPV are summarized. The efficiency and feasibility of the CAPV are analyzed from the angle of energy, and the comparison of the compressed air power with battery power and fuel power are discussed. The CAPV is contrasted to the hydrogen fuel cell electric (HFCE) vehicle comprehensively as well. With the tentative research in Zhejiang University, the main contents of this project are listed. It could be concluded that the compressed air powered vehicle is a real zero-pollution and green car with a wide market prospect.
