The VEMB system uses a concentric camshaft, blow-down manifold and scavenge manifold to separate the exhaust event into two phases: high-energy blow-down to the turbo without pumping losses, and high-hydrocarbon scavenge to the EGR system. or so, according to Thomas, resulting in the total possible benefits ranging from about 6% to 17%.

On the other hand, it is well known that in an internal combustion engine up to 35% of the energy developed by the fuel combustion is dissipated in the exhaust gases. The OSU EcoCAR prototype vehicle features an extended-range electric architecture with a downsized 1.8L Exhaust gas exergy map of EcoCAR engine.

Sample layout of an extended range EV powertrain with FPLG modules. Intake, exhaust and fuel injection. In this way, initial estimates suggest that an additional range of about 600 kilometers (373 miles) could be achieved without increasing the weight of the car. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

Here’s what two organizations— Resource-Media and Recurrent —had to say about the advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) in frigid weather. Newer EVs have larger battery capacities, allowing for longer ranges and protecting against performance losses. Millions of Americans had a very challenging December with record cold temperatures.

The Co-Optima team is working to extend the knowledge base resulting from simulations with petroleum-derived fuels and ethanol to the broader range of fuels and fuel properties available from biomass resources. What the program has not done to this point is add blended power or extended-range architectures (i.e.,
