Ricardo and Univ. of Brighton working on advanced combustion system for heavy-duty vehicles; CoolR features recuperated split-cycle with isothermal compression using cryogenic injection

Green Car Congress

The recuperated engine uses isothermal compression via cryogenic injection to enable significant exhaust to compressed gas heat transfer. Professor Neville Jackson, Ricardo’s Chief Technology & Innovation Officer, had presented an overview of the basics of such an approach at the SAE 2011 High Efficiency IC Engines Symposium in April.

Ford Applying 2.0L Flex-Fuel Capable Direct Injection Ti-VCT Engine in 2012 Focus

Green Car Congress

The engine is rated at 160 hp (119 kW) and torque at 146 lb-ft (198 N·m), up from 140 hp and 136 lb-ft in the 2011 Ford Focus. liter I-4 uses two camshafts: one to open the intake valves and one to open the exhaust valves. The overlap control via Ti-VCT helps us eliminate compromises in the induction and exhaust systems.
