Increased efficiency in all of the new Ecotec engines is achieved in part through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump. Additional engine features include: A precision sand-cast engine block with cast-in-place iron liners. Forged steel crankshaft.

The Kendrick mass defect differentiates the proton, ammonium, and sodium adducts in both singly and doubly charged forms. Fracking fluid is largely composed of water and sand, but oil and gas companies also add a variety of other chemicals, including anti-bacterial agents, corrosion inhibitors and surfactants.

Increased efficiency in the new four-cylinders was achieved partly through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump and, with the 2.5L, an actively controlled thermostat. Even the oil volume is optimized for minimal weight. Air-to-air intercooling system.

A variable displacement two-stage oil pump provides high oil pressure under high speed and load, but switches to a low-pressure mode for improved fuel economy during typical driving conditions. A large capacity oil cooler extends the oil change interval and ensures engine durability. Total displacement is 1,995 cc.

Alberta Innovates has teamed up with Natural Resources (NRCan) and industry partners to take three clean oil sands technologies to commercial demonstration. This announcement is a result of NRCan’s Oil and Gas Clean Tech Program. Cenovus Energy will test an oil sands extraction technology using a solvent-driven process.
