The engine should yield fuel efficiency gains of more than 50% compared to a downsized, turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine, while reducing the overall cost of the powertrain system, said Fabien Redon, Vice President, Technology Development at Achates Power. Earlier post.) Earlier post.). Fabien Redon.
Pollutant emissions are likewise reduced through combustion control. Applied to a turbocharged, downsized engine, MultiAir can contribute to up to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption over conventional naturally aspirated engines with the same performance, according to Fiat.
Heat required to bring the fuel to SC states is recovered from the exhaust gas of the engine. To attenuate that risk, the researchers use a diluent such as CO 2 , H 2 O or exhaust gas. George Anitescu from Syracuse presented the work in a poster at the DEER 2009 conference in Dearbon, Michigan. At SC conditions, however (T?450
Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.
To achieve these results, PureTech development called for a number of changes, chief among which were: Downsizing. The exhaust manifold is integrated directly in the cylinder head, which reduces the number of parts and overall weight. The specifications also stipulated a specific power of 50 kW per liter. Three cylinders.
Many countries propose to impose more stringent regulation of automobile exhaust emissions in 2020 and after, in an effort to prevent air pollution and global warming.
However, prior to the remarks on climate change and the regulatory response, he spent a few minutes discussing the efforts on urban pollution—e.g., What more is need to end urban pollution, something we’ve been spending over 30 years working on? Differentiated Analysis of Downsizing Concepts”). smog and particulates.
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.
The selected projects will focus on reducing the total cost of ownership of NGVs, increasing vehicle efficiency, decreasing local air pollution, and advancing technology development to increase the use of more affordable medium- and heavy-duty natural gas engines and vehicles. Cummins Inc. Plug-in Hybrid CNG Drayage Truck “PHET”.
Freescale Semiconductor announced the first of several powerful multicore automotive MCUs that help automotive designers improve engine efficiency and reduce exhaustpollution. Click to enlarge. Block diagram of the chip. Click to enlarge.
This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010. New substrates are designed with thinner walls or higher porosity, which allows the coating of better catalysts without sacrificing durability.
Specific to diesel, it also has the potential to significantly reduce pollutant emissions, like mononitrogen oxide (NO x ), and help meet more stringent regulations including the Real-Driving Emissions test in Europe. Regional highlights include: In North America, more engine downsizing is expected. liter six-cylinder.
The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. A significant fraction of the GDI PM 2.5 The extent of fuel-air mixing can be affected by injection system design.
Groundbreaking research in the last 10 years has identified combustion engine strategies that—especially if optimized to run on new fuels—would offer significantly higher efficiency and produce fewer engine-out pollutants than current engines. Fuel research will focus on low-GHG advanced biofuel/petroleum blends.
Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. High combustion noise and high HC and CO emissions are also a problem, with lower exhaust temperatures representing a challenge for current emissions controls.
That front-drive mode gets the car a green light in cities like London and Rome as they begin to bar polluting cars from their downtown areas. Automakers are finding it difficult to challenge those boldface numbers with internal combustion alone, especially as engines are relentlessly downsized to meet regulations.
This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. The EU goal is to introduce the WLTP by 2017 if possible and no later than 2020 to coincide with the 95 g/km requirement. The WLTP is significantly more dynamic with faster acceleration rates. The conference.
The researchers assessed the gaseous, particulate, and genotoxic pollutants from two current technology gasoline direct injection vehicles when tested in their original configuration and with a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter (GPF). liter downsized turbocharged centrally-mounted direct injection engine.
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.)
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 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.
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.
The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. Rule change will sustain the glut of compliance credits The EPA proposal includes a rule change that will bolster the pay-to-pollute travesty.
