Additionally, fleet owners will see the advantages natural gas trucks have over diesel, including lower fuel costs. g/bhp-hr) since 2001.
This is due to raw, externally premixed fresh charge comprising air, fuel and lube oil being short-circuited into the exhaust during the scavenging process. Even with the move to four-stroke engines, additional complexity will be necessary—possibly exhaust after-treatment—in order to fully meet regulations.
Kenworth Truck Company is expanding its product line with the introduction of the Cummins Westport ISL G natural gas engine for the Kenworth T800 short hood and W900S models.

According to Agah, a renowned researcher in chip-scale gas chromatography and Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation Faculty Fellow, the development of effective strategies for reducing occupational exposure to pollutants requires accurate, time-resolved measurement of exposure.
ElectraTherm, a leader in distributed, waste heat to power generation, is working with the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Creare, and the US Naval Academy (USNA) to demonstrate gas turbine waste heat recovery as part of a Small Business Innovation Research project. Hot water is the only fuel consumed by the Power+.
Twin-scroll turbocharger designs have two exhaustgas inlets divided by split walls inside the turbine housing, with both gas passages controlled by a waste-gate. A twin-scroll turbo recovers even more energy from the exhaust than a single-scroll turbocharger thanks to a divided manifold.
Spent exhaust gases are released through traditional lobes on the camshaft and exit through a cast stainless steel exhaust manifold. The turbocharger spins up to 230,000 rpm to convert exhaust heat and pressure to a rotational force that drives a compressor. Ignition is through a single output, coil-on-plug system.
Panasonic Corporation and Tokyo Gas Co., The new units will be sold by Tokyo Gas from 1 April 2014. A pipe shaft is a space to store water and gas pipes that runs vertically through condominium floors. Tokyo Gas is aiming for sales of 500 units in FY 2015 (ending March 31, 2015). Free maintenance support.
The design aims to be fuel-efficient and maintenance–friendly, with high operational flexibility. Design variants are available for fuel switching systems, installation of selective catalytic reduction and exhaustgas scrubbing systems and, in the near future, the use of LNG as fuel. Wash water holding tanks are also included.
The first V8 engine on this platform (730 hp, 3500 N·m) was launched in 2010, also equipped with Scania XPI and VGT, but with SCR exhaust aftertreatment like the other Euro 5 V8 engines. Overall vehicle weight is up by up to 200 kg due to the AdBlue system (75-liter tank) and the added complexity of the exhaust system.
Pure Watercraft has unveiled the first fruits of its collaboration with General Motors at CES 2022, and it’s a Pure-branded, “affordable luxury” electric pontoon boat that offers silent running, smooth acceleration, and dramatically reduced maintenance – without exhaustgas and oil leaks ruining the water for everyone.
Riding mowers have long been the tool of choice for larger yards, and have also long been a gas-guzzling and maintenance-ridden machine. It can cut up to three acres on a single charge and doesn’t have any noisy motors, smelly exhaust, or troubling maintenance to take care of.

TDI (35 kW); electric motor (35 kW); a 7-speed DSG (DQ200E) and the power electronics. An exhaustgas recirculation system, oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter are used to reduce emissions values. The electric motor is supplied with energy from the 8.6 In all-electric operation the twin up!
Among its features are an electric compressor with a supporting 48V subsytem that augments the work of the two turbochargers. Two exhaust-gas turbochargers are activated selectively according to the concept of sequential charging, since exhaustgas only flows through one turbocharger at low and intermediate load.
SEAT, a member of the Volkswagen Group, continues to spearhead the introduction of compressed natural gas (CNG) technology, giving customers the widest choice of vehicles that are cleaner, more sustainable and offer even greater efficiency. Only a pure electric vehicle running on 100% renewable energy would offer a better overall outcome.
The power unit hardware incorporates features from the series production engines, such as four-valve technology, fourth-generation common-rail piezo direct injection, 2-stage turbocharger and exhaustgas recirculation. At the heart of the BlueTEC system are two SCR catalytic converters with an “AdBlue” injector positioned upstream.
The plant is designed to handle 100,000 units per year, will commence operation in June 2018, and will produce battery-electric cars on behalf of a local electric car manufacturer. In order to reduce the solvent emissions as much as possible, the exhaust air flow is purified from the clear coat booths as well as the paint mixing rooms.
The City of Santa Monica, California has awarded Clean Energy a multi-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract to fuel its Big Blue Bus (BBB) fleet of vehicles.

Wärtsilä has already introduced tug designs featuring liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel technology as an efficient means for complying with environmental legislation. Using less engine power also decreases exhaust emission levels and, therefore, the environmental impact. Click to enlarge.
XL Hybrids’s XLP plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) upfit solution ( earlier post ) will roll out on Ford F-150 pickup trucks beginning fourth quarter 2017. The XLP technology leaves the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) engine, transmission, fuel system and exhaust system completely intact.
Independent variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust side have extended cam phaser range to 60 crankshaft angle degrees of motion. MultiAir 2 allows better control of the start and end of the valve events and an extended opening on the intake cycle for better exhaustgas recirculation. Electric Power Steering System.
The HP turbine is located directly at the exhaust manifold and initially allows exhaustgas to flow through it; it then rotates at up to 215,000 revolutions per minute. If the flap is closed, the whole exhaust stream flows through the HP turbine, so that the exhaust-gas energy is available solely for the HP turbine drive.
