Over the past five years, the number of patents relating to heating using waste heat has increased by 29.7 percent annually, outpacing patents relating to heat management of batteries and fuel cells (18.1 percent), heat pumps (14.5 percent), and heat management using X-way valves (14 percent).
The recent increase in the filing of waste heat management patents is primarily intended to increase range by overcoming a lack of heat sources and minimizing the use of the air conditioning system.
