Abstract: An arrangement for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy in a vehicle (1). A working medium is vaporized by a heat source (3) in the vehicle (1) and is thereafter expanded through a turbine (13) generating mechanical energy. A control unit (31) receives information indicating the vehicle (1) is to be braked and connects the cooling system (21, 39) of the vehicle to the vehicle's power train (2, 5-9) to cool a refrigerant to a low temperature. The control unit (31) receives information that the vehicle (1) requires extra propulsive force and, uses the cooled refrigerant to subject the working medium in the line circuit (10) to a second step of cooling before it is led to the evaporator (12). The condensation temperature of the working medium may thus be lowered and more mechanical energy may be generated in the turbine (13).

Abstract: A radar level gauging system for determining a level of a surface of a product in a tank, comprising a propagation device arranged to allow microwave signals to propagate towards the surface, and to return a reflection of the microwave signals from the surface and at least two radar level gauge (RLG) units. Each RLG unit includes transceiver circuitry, processing circuitry connected to the transceiver circuitry and adapted to determine the level based on a relation between transmitted and received signals, and a communication interface. The system further comprises a communication link interconnecting the RLG units, for communicating control data between the RLG units, the communication link comprising an isolating interface, ensuring galvanic isolation between the RLG units.One unit may hereby communicate configuration data to the rest of the RLG units which results in a simplified configuration of the sensor system and thus more cost effective compared to the prior art solutions.
