BorgWarner suggests Valve-Event Modulated Boost system can offer 6-17% fuel economy benefit over already downsized and turbocharged engines

Green Car Congress

The VEMB system uses a concentric camshaft, blow-down manifold and scavenge manifold to separate the exhaust event into two phases: high-energy blow-down to the turbo without pumping losses, and high-hydrocarbon scavenge to the EGR system. The company also has demonstrated the potential to increase compression ratios by 1.5

ECONAMIQ: Flexible over-expansion with cylinder deactivation can reduce ICE fuel consumption by up to 20%

Green Car Congress

The company presented its first results at the annual ASME ICEF (Internal Combustion Engine Fall) conference in Chicago. Using the pressure from the exhaust gas from the active cylinders, the ‘idle’ cylinders could be expanded to extract more work out of the engine during partial load operation.

Audi introduces new high-efficiency 2.0L TFSI based on Miller cycle; 190 hp, 47 mpg

Green Car Congress

Audi engineers have further developed the Miller cycle approach in crucial ways, the company said. Thanks to this rightsizing approach, the new engine enjoys the consumption benefits of a downsizing engine in partial load operation, while at higher loads it has the advantages of a large-displacement engine.

ETH Zürich Developing Pneumatic Hybrid Engine; Approaches Hybrid-Electric Performance at Lower Cost

Green Car Congress

The pneumatic hybrid engine, which follows the downsizing and supercharging paradigm, offers a fuel-saving potential that is almost equal to that of hybrid electric powertrains while inducing much lower additional mass and cost penalties, according to the ETH Zürich researchers. The compressed air supply also allows extreme downsizing.

Concept Engine: Ilmor Engineering to Show Cutaway of 5-Stroke Engine at Engine EXPO

Green Car Congress

Ilmor is a UK-based independent engine design, development, testing and manufacturing company, founded in 1984 by Mario Illien, Paul Morgan and Roger Penske. The design decouples the compression ratio and the expansion ratio by adding a second expansion cycle for the exhaust gases by means of the third cylinder. Ilmor Overview.
