In a 2010 paper, Roger Stone, Engineering Director, Torotrak noted that conventional turbo- and supercharging technologies are more than capable of delivering the required peak power and torque levels from downsized engines but suffer from a number of. It gives the next generation of downsized powertrains ‘big-engine’ response.
liter, 3-cylinder design of the Pinnacle engine, as well as a downsized, turbocharged 750cc Pinnacle design. FEV added two additional cylinders, piping, exhaust aftertreatment, and an air cleaner to convert the model from a 250cc single cylinder into a 750 cc three cylinder engine. less than with the exhaust cam also phased.
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.
Comparison of ISFC (@42.9 The test engine for the paper was a 250cc single-cylinder unit with dual-camshaft-actuated reciprocating sleeve valves for induction and exhaust. For a comparison engine, Pinnacle used a 200 cc, conventional two-valve, air-cooled, carbureted model. Source: Pinnacle. Click to enlarge.
Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. A practical powertrain system with robust PPCI combustion is needed, including injection, valvetrain, boost, and exhaust subsystems. —Sellnau et al. kWh and FSN 0.1,
Right : Comparison of CO 2 -emissions and performance of the GT2-concept. In designing the unit for use on a small engine, FEV created a completely new exhaust manifold on the 1.8L – DISI developmental engine with advanced features such as VCT and adapted charge motion.

Comparison of fuel consumption of Omnivore, homogeneous Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) and Spray-Guided GDI engines. The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. Click to enlarge. Displacement. Compression ratio. Porting arrangement.
Comparison of Emission Standards (g/mi). . We see dramatic downsizing and boosting [as] something that’s going to for gasoline engines especially. To be able effectively to implement downsizing and downspeeding, good low-end torque is essential. Differentiated Analysis of Downsizing Concepts”). CA LEV US T2B2 CA SULEV.
Fiesta features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) ( earlier post ) which allows the engine to be downsized for fuel economy while continuously optimizing camshaft phasing for throttle response, performance and flexibility.
The vehicles on which the research was based were representative of current production models at the more aggressive end of the downsizing spectrum in terms of engine capacity and output, but modeled with a future three cylinder 1.5 The cost comparison is with respect to a Euro 5 baseline. liter diesel engine.

Cylinder deactivation: deactivates the intake and exhaust valves and prevents fuel injection into some cylinders during light-load operation. Variable valve timing: alters the timing or phase of the intake valve, exhaust valve, or both, primarily to reduce pumping losses, increase specific power, and control residual gases.
Although real-world fuel economy improvements from GDI technology alone are close to 1.5%, they can reach 8% by downsizing and turbocharging the engine, which can be achieved on GDI engines without loss of power compared to PFI engines. Organic gas emissions were the most sensitive to cold-start compared to the other pollutants tested.
On the diesel side—now available solely as BlueTEC units with SCR aftertreatment technology) , the focus is on downsizing and the new version of the V6 CDI engine. The HP turbine is located directly at the exhaust manifold and initially allows exhaust gas to flow through it; it then rotates at up to 215,000 revolutions per minute.
Despite its efficiency, the Golf TSI BlueMotion with the 85 kW / 114 hp downsized 999 cc EA211-series engine reaches 100 km/h in 9.7 Golf Comparisons. Exhaust manifold integrated in cylinder head. The exhaust manifold of the 1.0 The exhaust manifold of the 1.0 engine) introduced in 1975. Small turbocharger.
However, although a CO 2 target of 70 g/km could be met without significant deployment of electric vehicles, the study found that exhausting all the potential gains from combustion engine technology improvements before transitioning to electric drive would be a relatively costly approach for vehicle manufacturers.

Ford’s turbocharged, gasoline direct injection EcoBoost engines are targeted to play a significant near-term role in Ford’s efforts to reduce fuel consumption by enabling downsizing. Near-valve flow structure comparison between high flow port (left) and high tumble port (right). port fuel injected (PFI) V8 engine. Earlier post.).
The aftertreatment program within the 21CTP should be continued, and DOE should continue to support the activities of the Cross-cut Lean Exhaust Emissions Reductions Simulations (CLEERS) program that interface with the activities of the aftertreatment technical community at large. Recommendation 3-7. HYBRID VEHICLES. Recommendation 4-3.
The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles.
