New split-cycle concept to control diesel HCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

The HCPC concept consists of forming a precompressed homogeneous mixture outside the cylinder and then gradually admitting the charge into the cylinder during the combustion process. Ettore Musu, Riccardo Rossi, Roberto Gentili and Rolf Reitz (2010) CFD Study of HCPC Turbocharged Engine (SAE 2010-01-2107 ). ICEF2007-1743 (2007).

Concept: Compact Two-Cycle, Co-generating Piston-Driven Turbine to Deliver 60+% Efficiency

Green Car Congress

The engine is classified as a turbine, says Jim Andrews, vv-tec’s President, because the use of the sinus discs make the engine into an impulse turbine. The sinus discs also helps the efficiency of the generator—30 kW of engine power will run a 30 kW generator. 1957) The automotive free-piston-turbine engine (SAE 570051).
