Concept: Downsized and Supercharged Hybrid Pneumatic Engine for 30%+ Reduction in Fuel Consumption

Green Car Congress

Shifting the operating point of the engine is also possible, using at least one cylinder in a conventional combustion manner at high load, and using at least one cylinder to pump air into the pressure tank. In large naturally-aspirated SI engine, high-friction, pumping losses and part-load operation all contribute to poor fuel efficiency.
