Concept: Downsized and Supercharged Hybrid Pneumatic Engine for 30%+ Reduction in Fuel Consumption

Green Car Congress

Schematic of downsized and supercharged four-stroke hybrid pneumatic spark injection engine. The reduction in fuel consumption is obtained mainly through enabling the effective use of a heavily downsized engine, rather than from regenerative efficiency. Source: ETH Zürich. Click to enlarge.

Controlled Power Technologies Packages Its Switched Reluctance Systems in ‘RegEnBoost’ System for Enhanced Support for Downsizing

Green Car Congress

Power for the battery and VTES electric supercharger is not only supplied by the SpeedStart ISG but also the TIGERS exhaust driven turbo-generator. Conversely, short bursts of power can also be absorbed by the SpeedStart generator to recharge the battery during vehicle decelerations. liters capacity.

Williams F1 Team and Mercedes-Benz enter long-term engine partnership; downsized turbo hybrid Power Units

Green Car Congress

Williams will continue to manufacture its own transmission. The new ERS will recover energy from both the exhaust turbine and the rear axle, as well as deploying energy back to both. The 2014 regulations require covering a 300 km (186-mile) race distance on a fuel load of just 100 kg. liter V8 engines to 1.6

CPT launching water-cooled electric supercharger for commercial diesel engines

Green Car Congress

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.
