Its turbocharger with variable turbine geometry makes optimal use of the exhaust gas energy for early and harmonious torque development. The A3 Sportback 30 g-tron 1.5 TFSI engine produces 96 kW (131 PS) and generates 200 N·m (147.5 lb-ft) of torque between 1,400 and 4,000 rpm.
The new system, which recovers energy from the hot exhaust gas, also reduces costs by around 20%. However, the process consumes vast amounts of electricity, produces lots of carbon dioxide, and can lead to fluctuations in the stability of the powergrid. The Tyasa mill is scheduled to be completed by mid-2013. Click to enlarge.
Singapore-based container shipping line APL became the first to cold-iron a vessel’s engines to eliminate exhaust emissions at the Port of Oakland, California. In cold-ironing, ships at berth connect via large cables to the landside powergrid for electricity.
The Pulstar product offers very high power spark discharge, on the order of 1MW, to accelerate combustion pressures enabling forced semi-homogeneous combustion for all conditions. HCCI is a combustion regime in which well-mixed fuel, exhaust gas and air are compressed to the point of auto-ignition.
Another concern associated with EVs is that they could increase emissions of criteria pollutants like SO 2 and NO x because power plants are believed to be the largest contributor to China’s SO 2. Generation mix of the six interprovincial powergrids in 2008. and NO x emissions. Credit: ACS, Huo et al. Click to enlarge.
The exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head—the foundation for the high-performance thermal management system. The infrastructure side—a plate with a coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter)—is placed on the parking spot of the Audi TT offroad concept and connected to the powergrid. ft) of torque.
J1711 (Recommended Practice For Measuring The Exhaust Emissions And Fuel Economy Of Hybrid Electric Vehicles) is designed to establish uniform chassis dynamometer test procedures for hybrid-electric vehicles that are designed to be driven on public roads. for reverse energy flow, e.g. vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-home.
When the battery can no longer power a car, it will be repurposed for a second use. Once the battery has been completely exhausted, it will be sent off for safe recycling, which ensures valuable materials and chemicals are extracted. Powering a residence in tandem with solar panels, similar to Tesla’s power wall.
For battery replacement, the car battery is charged by replacing the power battery. When the power battery is exhausted, replace the low-power battery pack with a fully charged battery, and send the replaced battery to the replacement station for slow charging. Generally, it can be fully charged in 1 hour.
The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV. Like BEVs, FCEVs’ exhaust produces no smog-forming or climate-changing emissions; the sole result is water. The fuel cell in FCEVs generates energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen from the air.
But the most popular one that’s mostly used in practice right now is a post-combustion process called the amine process, where essentially, we have your exhaust from factories that has very high CO 2 content, and you bring it in contact with a liquid that has this amine chemical that binds the CO 2 , that you basically suck the CO 2 out of the air.
By rapidly ramping up and down in response to fluctuations in wind and solar power, the technology will enable the integration of more renewable resources into the powergrid, GE says. The FlexEfficiency 50 Combined Cycle Power Plant. Click to enlarge. GE’s advanced W28 Generator with water-cooled stator.
Another efficient option he pointed out is the combined cycle power plant. The heat from the turbine’s exhaust is used to produce steam to turn a turbine in the second stage. The resulting two-stage power plant is at least 25 percent more efficient than a single-stage plant.
Cyclone’s waste heat power generator—comprising its 18 hp Waste Heat Engine, proprietary heat exchangers and electric generator—will be installed and field tested at Bent Glass’ facility over the following couple of months.
A water-cooled Thermo-Electrical Generator (TEG) is integrated in the exhaust system of BMW Vision EfficientDynamics, serving to convert a lot of the thermal energy contained in the exhaust emissions into electric power. Earlier post.). Forward-looking Energy Management.
These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ powergrid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle.

In many cases, electric vehicles tend to create more pollution upfront during assembly and gradually offset this by spewing no gaseous emissions from its nonexistent exhaust. This depends heavily upon whether the local powergrid is broken down to prioritize renewable, coal, natural gas, or nuclear energy.
