Split injection Miller cycle with boost decreases knock tendency and increases torque in downsized engine

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Tianjin University in China report that combing split injection to the Miller cycle with boost pressure can effectively decrease the knock tendency and increase the engine torque in a downsized spark-ignition engine. Their paper is published in the journal Fuel. —Wei et al. L and a compression ratio of 10:1.

KIT researchers developing low-pressure carbonitriding process for hardening steel with methylamine; applications in downsized engines

Green Car Congress

Steels hardened in this way are suited for use in components subjected to high mechanical and thermal loads in downsized, energy-efficient and low-emission engines of the future. The KIT researchers, along with their colleagues at Bosch, presented the process in a recent paper published in HTM - Journal of Heat Treatment and Materials.

BorgWarner suggests Valve-Event Modulated Boost system can offer 6-17% fuel economy benefit over already downsized and turbocharged engines

Green Car Congress

The VEMB system uses a concentric camshaft, blow-down manifold and scavenge manifold to separate the exhaust event into two phases: high-energy blow-down to the turbo without pumping losses, and high-hydrocarbon scavenge to the EGR system. Source: Borgwarner. Click to enlarge.

KAUST study focuses on understanding pre-ignition

Green Car Congress

It is more prevalent in the downsized, turbocharged engines that car makers are now producing for improved fuel efficiency while maintaining power output. Pre-ignition remains a bottleneck to further downsizing and improving engine efficiency. Pre-ignition is sporadic and unpredictable. —Eshan Singh, lead author.
