New Efficient Supercharger with Variable Drive for Downsized Gasoline Engines

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 22, 2010

The need to reduce CO 2 emissions is leading to downsized engines, heavily boosted by turbo- or supercharging. But while these engines easily reach high peak power and torque figures, they struggle to provide the required low-speed response. million today to 12 million by 2016.

Reducing the number of exhaust gas particulates, including those smaller than 23 nm, will help manufacturers meet increasingly stringent future global emissions standards. As most engines power the GDI pump through the camshaft drive, a conventional approach would usually require a costly redesign and strengthening of the camshaft mechanism.

In its new report on downsized and boosted gasoline engine technologies ( earlier post ) the ICCT highlighted Ricardo’s work on an “extreme” Miller cycle concept with high (13:1) compression ratio (CR) and central direct injection in a downsized boosted engine. A long exhaust stroke then extracts maximum efficiency.

The engine combines downsizing turbo technology with efficient direct fuel injection; it delivers just under 500 hp (368 kW) and is the most efficient combustion engine from Porsche to date. The remaining 40% is generated by the exhaust energy recovery system. To recover exhaust energy, a small turbine is fitted in the exhaust tract.
