Further, implementation of VTC and high-capacity EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) to both the intake and exhaust ports realizes significantly reduced friction. By downsizing from the present 2.2L This employs direct injection technology and the Atkinson cycle using the DOHC, VTEC technologies as the base. Diesel engine.

Brunel engineers optimizing CAI combustion in 2-stroke camless gasoline DI engine

Green Car Congress

Many approaches have been attempted to achieve CAI operation on the four-stroke spark ignition engines, such as intake air heating, high compression ratio, dual fuel, recycling the exhaust gas, and so on. To minimize the air short-circuiting rate, the intake and exhaust valve timings were adjusted. Earlier post , earlier post.).

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 The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. A novel charge-trapping valve in the exhaust port allows asymmetric timing of exhaust flow and continuous variation of the exhaust opening timing.
