Purem by Eberspaecher introduces efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines

Green Car Congress

Purem by Eberspaecher is introducing efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines. At the Hannover Messe, the company will be presenting its H 2 -ICE exhaust system for the first time. The H 2 -ICE exhaust system for hydrogen engines from Purem by Eberspaecher. These systems are now being adapted to the CO 2 -neutral fuel.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks launching 3rd generation of OM 471 heavy-duty diesel

Green Car Congress

Reduced friction losses and pressure control with low-viscosity oil. For this purpose, the third-generation OM 471 has a newly developed engine oil pressure control valve. It is installed behind the engine oil pump and in front of the oil thermostat. Newly-developed exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

Optimized heavy-duty CI engine fueled with DME delivers diesel performance, significantly reduces engine-out emissions

Green Car Congress

The common rail pump was externally lubricated by engine oil so that it can handle the low fuel lubricity. The engine was also equipped with an electrically driven volumetric pump in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) path which gives the freedom to set any desired EGR rate, independently from the pressure ratios across the turbocharger.

Research consortium investigating use of DME blends in diesels with minimal retrofitting

Green Car Congress

Previous studies have shown that it is possible to operate diesel engines with 100% DME, but that this requires significant effort (injection components, combustion process, exhaust gas aftertreatment, tank system) in terms of conversion.

Fraunhofer developing process to ferment steel exhaust gases to fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Fraunhofer researchers in Germany have developed a process for the conversion of CO-rich exhaust gases from steel plants into fuels and specialty chemicals. In addition to the exhaust gases, syngas—similar gas mixtures from home and industrial waste incineration—can also be used for the engineered process.

BMW to begin testing BMW M Hybrid V8 with P66/3 engine

Green Car Congress

As a fully load-bearing component in the BMW M Hybrid V8, it had the advantage that it could be used in a monocoque chassis without an additional subframe and it was also the one that most closely corresponded to the regulatory requirements after conversion to a hybrid turbo engine. Oil system. BMW M Hybrid V8 engine. Engine speed.
