Volkswagen 2.0 TDI diesel for Euro 6d; SCR twin-dosing

Green Car Congress

With SCR twin dosing technology in the exhaust gas system, the diesel unit now undercuts the Euro 6d emission standard limits while also running quietly and smoothly, according to the company. The four-cylinder TDI engine with the internal designation EA 288 made its debut in 2012. As previously, the 2.0 This has a volume of 3.4

DENSO and IBIDEN to collaborate on next-generation vehicle exhaust systems and vehicle electrification

Green Car Congress

form ed a capital and business alliance jointly to develop next-generation vehicle exhaust systems. This collaboration will combine IBIDEN’s advantages in high-performance ceramic materials with DENSO’s advantages in developing products as systems to develop high-performance, simple and low-cost vehicle exhaust systems.

Achates Power opposed-piston diesel for TARDEC will demonstrate multi-cylinder configuration

Green Car Congress

Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging. Scavenging continues until a 230° crank angle, at which time the exhaust ports close.

FEV working on water injection system using exhaust condensate; fuel consumption improvements up to 16% possible

Green Car Congress

FEV is developing a water injection system for internal combustion engines using condensate from exhaust gases, the “Extended Direct Condensate Injection” system. The concept, as reported in a new paper in the International Journal of Engine Research , demonstrates a potential for efficiency increase of 3.3% – 3.8%

EGR stratification as a control technique for diesel HCCI

Green Car Congress

A team from Université d’Orléans (France) and IFP Energies nouvelles reports that exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) stratification may be used as a control parameter for combustion speed and therefore may contribute to the extension of the homogeneous charge compression ignition operating range. —André et al.

Motiv Engines introduces 2nd-generation split-cycle concept; MkII Clarke-Brayton heavy-duty engine being designed for LNG

Green Car Congress

It expands all the way to ambient pressure before the exhaust stroke. The power is produced in almost a 50-50 split between the combustion (central) and exhaust (largest) pistons. Starting the gas exchange between two significant volumes at different pressure, leading to a blow-down event, must be avoided. Clarke and W.
