Abstract: An electrified vehicle includes a storage compartment positioned forward of a vehicle passenger cabin and accessible by opening a vehicle hood, a thermally conductive plate or heat exchanger in contact with a bottom surface of the storage compartment and having an associated conduit configured for circulating a working fluid from a vehicle cooling system, and a valve operable to control flow of the working fluid through the conduit. The storage compartment may be filled with a cooling medium, such as ice or dry ice, to provide enhanced cooling during high-demand operation or charging of the vehicle, such as when operating in a performance/track mode, towing a trailer, or in other extreme use scenarios. The valve may be controlled so that the working fluid bypasses the conduit when the storage compartment is used for cargo and/or enhanced cooling is not desired.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for power recovery in a process for producing ethylene, comprising steam cracking a hydrocarbon feed to produce a cracked gas product; cooling the cracked gas product by indirect heat exchange with high pressure liquid water to obtain cooled cracked gas product while evaporating the high pressure liquid water to high pressure steam; expanding the high pressure steam in a first steam expansion turbine to produce power and to obtain medium pressure steam; heating at least part of the medium pressure steam to increase the temperature of the medium pressure steam by passing the medium pressure steam through a convection zone of the cracking furnace and retrieving reheated medium pressure steam from the convection zone; expanding at least part of the reheated medium pressure steam in a second steam expansion turbine to produce power and to obtain low pressure steam.
