The ChangAn CA18 FlexDI ConceptEngine shown at Auto China 2008. Ltd, China’s fourth largest automotive manufacturer, have entered into a joint development contract for a conceptengine. The program is focused on fuel economy improvement while achieving Euro IV emissions level. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.).
FEV developed ATAC more than a decade ago, targeting large-bore engines in stationary and heavy-duty applications. The lean burn combustion process also offers significant improvements in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in comparison with more conventional CNG technology as a result of dethrottling and better combustion efficiency.
Pollutant emission behavior vs. engine speed.confirms the validity of the HCPC combustion concept. Emissions are almost independent of the engine speed. Soot and HC are orders of magnitude lower than the ones of a diesel engine. emissions are almost constant and similar to those of a diesel engine.
Compared to the fourth-generation M5 power unit, the newly developed engine has a significantly increased output level, while at the same time lowering previous fuel consumption and emission levels by at least 25%.
Drive-E Powertrain Concept. Volvo has developed a concept 2-liter, 4-cylinder, triple-boost Drive-E conceptengine that delivers 450 hp (336 kW). The 450 hp High Performance Drive-E Powertrain Concept is based on a set of technologies not usually found in a four-cylinder engine. Click to enlarge.
Bladon suggests that in an hybrid vehicle application, with no water-cooling system, oil or catalytic converter, the Micro-Jet engine can provide vehicle weight savings of up to 15%—with a consequent reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions—compared to a piston engine. Earlier post.).
The WDG also can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 95 percent in comparison to modern internal combustion vehicle engines. The Wave Disc Engine. The wave disc engine is a new implementation of wave rotor technology (also called Pressure Wave Machines or Pressure Exchangers). Norbert Müller.
The concept fuel cell module is the central building block in Ballard’s future engine, which MAHLE will now test and integrate with its components, including the balance-of-plant, thermal management and power electronics, and the system assembly.
This is a major step toward our goal of building the most efficient engine in the world for trucks, automobiles and power generation. The improvement in efficiency and the use of natural gas makes this engine a natural fit to meet the upcoming greenhouse gas emissions regulations while reducing costs for operators.
A cryogenic engine such as the Dearman piston engine produces zero emissions at the point of use; has low greenhouse gas emissions provided the liquid air or nitrogen is produced from low carbon electricity; has energy and power density on a level with battery electric technology; and has the potential for rapid refueling.
The extremely low flammability limit of hydrogen can also be used to extend the lean combustion limit, which can increase expansion work and reduce emissions. TCR is particularly relevant to alcohol-based engine fuels, because combustion exergy losses for direct combustion of alcohols are typically higher than for alkanes and alkenes.
A collaboration between research teams at Shell and Gordon Murray Design (GMD) recently led to the development of an innovative conceptengine lubricant capable of achieving a 6.5% 25 city car as the test bed, Shell engineers formulated an ultra low viscosity 0W-10 motor oil. benefit on a combined cycle. Using GMD’s new T.25
Achates Power, which is developing a family of two-stroke, compression-ignition (CI) opposed-piston (OP) engines, has designed and is developing a light-duty diesel conceptengine, the OP4. Throughout emissions cycle load points, the OP4 demonstrated 0.4 g/kWh engine-out NO x. Indicated soot is 0.01
HCCI combustion can deliver a very efficient engine, potentially providing a 20% to 30% boost in gasoline engine efficiency without the NO x or PM emissions of a diesel. This is the key to setting a new standard of fuel efficiency and emissions reductions. All of the fuel in the chamber is burned simultaneously.
The first registrant in the Challenge is Libralato Engines, developer of a novel rotary engine (cutaway shown) promising a 5.5% gain in combustion efficiency and 50% reduction in NO x emissions. Libralato Engines is seeking financial and industrial partners to help commercialize the engine. Click to enlarge.
When we launched our HDV efficiency program we stated a belief that HDV carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by up to one-third. This next phase of the program aims to take us closer towards that end objective. It is critical that we develop technology solutions that are affordable for the industry and meet the needs of the customers.
Unlike conventional engines that require two crankshaft revolutions to complete a single combustion cycle, the Scuderi Engine requires just one. Besides the improvements in efficiency and emissions, studies show that the Scuderi Engine is capable of producing more torque than conventional gasoline and diesel engines.
Since internal combustion engines will remain the primary mode of choice for mobility in the foreseeable future, both alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/ engines using fuels adapted for that purpose will be preferred for reducing the combustion impact on climate change.
This means we have a responsibility to implement emission-lowering solutions available today while simultaneously developing solutions for tomorrow. EPS said that the partnership is an example of different industry players with aligned values coming together to lower greenhouse gas emissions. —Cyril Ducau, EPS CEO.
Advanced Engine Technologies was incorporated in 1996 to commercialize the OX2, with automotive racing pioneer Carroll Shelby on its Board of Directors and involved in the engine development. Tags: ConceptEngines. OX2 animation files.
Any combustible fuel can work in the Reinhardt Turbine, the limiting factor is emissions control. 2007) A review of free-piston engine history and applications. Applied Thermal Engineering , Volume 27, Issues 14-15, Pages 2339-2352. 1957) The automotive free-piston-turbine engine (SAE 570051). Mikalsen R., Roskilly A.P.
Although the HPE approach can in concept be applied to both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition engines (CI), after an evaluation of engine types, the team decided that downsized SI engines offered the best target for an HPE application. The conceptengine uses the Bosch electro-hydraulic valve system (EHVS).
(LPI), the developer of engines based on its High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC)( earlier post ), introduced the latest version of its X-series of rotary engines embodying HEHC at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) 2012 Directions in Engine-Efficiency and Emissions Research (DEER) Conference in Dearborn, Michigan.
The objective of this AOI is to research, develop, and demonstrate cost-competitive enabling technologies for Class 8 truck engine systems that can enable the achievement of breakthrough Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) using EPA certified diesel fuels while meeting the latest emission standards. turbomachinery. turbomachinery.
High-pressure air jet controlled compression ignition (JCCI) is based on a compound thermodynamic cycle and is implemented in a hybrid pneumatic engine (HPE) as proposed by Schechter in 1999. The application of HPE is also beneficial to the fuel consumption and emissions because of its several flexible operation modes.
Powertrain concepts. At NACV 2017, Bosch is also showcasing several future-focused powertrain conceptsengineered to save fuel and money while extending the lives of fleets.
