FEV to show compressed natural gas light-duty concept engine with ATAC combustion system at 2011 SAE World Congress

Green Car Congress

FEV developed ATAC more than a decade ago, targeting large-bore engines in stationary and heavy-duty applications. The lean burn combustion process also offers significant improvements in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in comparison with more conventional CNG technology as a result of dethrottling and better combustion efficiency.

New split-cycle concept to control diesel HCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

Increasing engine speed from 2000 to 6000 rpm, indicated thermal efficiency decreases from 47% to 45% for the turbocharged case and from 46% to 44% for the naturally aspirated one due to higher pressure losses in the transfer phase. Pollutant emission behavior vs. engine speed.confirms the validity of the HCPC combustion concept.
