Ricardo’s “deep” Miller cycle concept: Magma

Green Car Congress

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. The concept places particular demands on the boosting system.

Delphi develops new high-pressure common rail systems for heavy-duty and light-duty engines; Euro VI and beyond

Green Car Congress

This concept system is expected to be ideal for heavily downsized applications and developing markets. DPCRS technology is suited for engines currently using Electronic Unit Injector (EUI) systems or Electronic Unit Pump (EUP) systems because the installation envelope is the same as that for Delphi’s current products.

Researchers propose evaluating alt fuel efficiency based on energy rather than volume; impact of ethanol on vehicle efficiency and GHGs

Green Car Congress

However, most life cycle analyses (LCAs) to date have mainly focused on the production stage while assuming end-use efficiencies are the same for ethanol and gasoline despite the fact that ethanol can, in theory, affect engine efficiency and performance due to different thermo-chemical properties compared to gasoline. Policy implications.

Lotus Omnivore Engine Shows Up To 10% Better Fuel Economy Than Spray-Guided GDI Engines; Achieves HCCI At Extremely Light Loads

Green Car Congress

At 2000 rpm and up to approximately 2.7 Omnivore lays the foundations for a novel and pragmatic vision of a variable compression ratio engine concept suitable for production. The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines.

Study finds tailor-made fuels from biomass could significantly reduce emissions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases

Green Car Congress

The beneficial effect of modern, tailored biofuels in mobile applications is directly related to the molecular structure of the biofuel as a product of an optimized production process, Janssen et al. A common rail system with a maximum fuel injection pressure of 2000 bar was used as injection system.
