So far this year, the team has integrated the T2B2 aftertreatment in the dynamometer environment and is in the process of convert the demonstration vehicle to the T2B2 configuration. Exhaust system configuration. Demonstration of T2B2 at the tailpipe is slated for later this year.
Renault held a “2010 Environment Workshop” last week to showcase its progress across its range of vehicles’ full lifecycle through the Renault eco² program. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Low pressure EGR (exhaust gas recirculation).
Cobra could enable a 5–10% reduction in CO 2 emissions when implemented in conjunction with engine downsizing and down speeding strategies, and potentially more when used in conjunction with alternative fuels, according to CPT. Unlike a turbocharger, Cobra is not dependent on the exhaust gases flowing to do its work.
Developed for the latest 1-liter downsized gasoline engines. The successful collaboration with Ford resulted in a turbocharger design that meets the particular technical challenges posed by small, downsized engines. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.) The first two engines will generate 74 and 88 kW from a displacement of just one liter.
Volvo’s hybrid buses have a downsized diesel engine and an electric motor that can operate the bus independently or jointly. This gives a quiet and exhaust-free environment at bus stops. The coaches for the double-deckers will be built by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland.
liter ELC-Hybrid to downsized 1.4L VTES + SpeedStart. CPT and AVL’s most recent work assesses the potential of a VTES equipped downsized ELC-Hybrid vehicle in combination with the CPT SpeedStart Integrated Starter Generator ( earlier post ) and the UltraBattery. Click to enlarge. Guy Morris et al.
The new Yaris Hybrid, which is equipped with a version of the downsized hybrid powertrain featured in the Prius c/Aqua ( earlier post ), is a major step in the company’s full hybrid European roll-out strategy. The downsized full hybrid system combines the new 1NZ-FXE 1.5-liter Fuel consumption is 3.5
A heavy-duty exhaust valve guide with thermal deformation and temperature color scaling demonstrates high side load at high temperatures in contact with the exhaust gas. Federal-Mogul’s new advanced turbocharger bushing materials provide enhanced wear performance at elevated temperatures and in highly corrosive environments.
All these new vehicles will launch with the latest Ford-developed powertrains which will improve fuel economy and lower carbon dioxide emissions, offering our customers a more environment-friendly ride without compromising vehicle performance. —Kumar Galhotra, vice president, Product Development, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa.
The unit can be applied to naturally-aspirated or forced induction engines—though most likely will be applied to downsized turbocharged engines as an additional unit to the existing turbocharger. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C.
Further, implementation of VTC and high-capacity EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) to both the intake and exhaust ports realizes significantly reduced friction. By downsizing from the present 2.2L With this mechanism, Honda strives to provide a stable ride for various driving environments. Diesel engine.
The research has so far focused on lower speed and load conditions that represent a major proportion of an engine’s operation in a real world environment. The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. At 2000 rpm and up to approximately 2.7 Displacement.
A 2010 version of the MCE-5 VCRi engine will be equipped with GDI, optimized combustion chambers as well as the advanced management of engine temperature, of the cylinder head, pistons and exhaust manifold. This constitutes a strong response to the durability problem of highly downsized high-loaded engines.
The more efficient combustion engine technologies, with their enabling of downsizing, come in compatibly with hybridization, with hybridization and electrification playing a larger role over time. The further downsized next-generation technologies can be very synergistic within hybrid applications. Planning background.
Ricardo has previously reported on a simulation environment set up to enable the study of engine and after-treatment technology over RDE cycles, incorporating post-processing with the EMROAD and CLEAR tools. liter diesel engine. Attribute analysis presented in SIA paper. The cost comparison is with respect to a Euro 5 baseline.
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. Using the virtual simulation environment GT-Power, this cycle is applied to a 4-cylinder SI engine.
which are regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) because of their adverse effects on human health and the environment. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.
The Dearman liquid air engine is an innovative heat engine that uses liquid air (or liquid nitrogen) as a “fuel” and emits cold air as exhaust. After each expansion cycle the heat exchange fluid is recovered from the exhaust and reheated to ambient temperature via a heat exchanger similar to a conventional radiator. Earlier post.)
Advanced after-treatment processes for exhaust gases enable ultra-low emissions in line with stringent Euro Stage VI standards that will be introduced in September 2016, requiring a 55% reduction in NO x emissions compared to Euro Stage V standards. Minimized crankshaft bearing diameters. Enhanced refinement.
The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter The controller continuously monitors the engine’s operating conditions as well as the external environment, and uses an on-board computer to determine the most efficient course of action during real-world operation. DTNA SuperTruck technology elements. Powertrain.
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. Some of the droplets may escape into the exhaust system and result in high UHC emissions. The first application of this technology bundle in a 3.5L
High-research octane number (RON) fuels are known to enable more efficient, higher-performance SI operation via engine downsizing and boosting. Market Transformation – Working with stakeholders to promote a market-driven environment by identifying and mitigating potential barriers.
The new high-powered TDCi diesel engine follows the downsizing trend we’ve led with our EcoBoost petrol technology. liter TDCi variants feature a revised engine block, and new cylinder-head and fuel injection designs, and Ford’s lean NO x trap exhaust after-treatment system. A powerful new twin sequential turbocharged 2.0-liter
TARA enables you to downsize and replace larger diesel-powered vehicles with a fleet of autonomous electric Volvo TA15s capable of running 24/7,” reads the official TARA release. The first is the “classic” version of sustainability, in that our choices need to sustain the planet and environment we live in.
The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank. CTO Efficient Drivetrains Inc.
The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. The use of footprints to determine fleet emission targets removes any incentive for an automaker to reduce the size of the vehicles it offers.
