John Kirwan from Delphi presented a 3-cylinder turbocharged SIDI concept, “ a high value solution for meeting Euro 6 in smaller passenger cars ”. Direct injection, combined with cam phasing, improves volumetric efficiency by enabling very good scavenging at full loads to reduce the residual gas fraction in the cylinder. John Kirwan.

For offsets to be credible, a ton of CO 2 -equivalent emissions from an offset project should equate to a ton reduced from a covered emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe. This concept is often called “additionality.” A 2008 EPA study analyzed the economic impacts of the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008 (S.

Then in the Spring of 2008.we HCCI offers the benefit of reduced fuel consumption while emitting only low levels of NO x , therefore avoiding the expensive exhaust aftertreatment systems which are necessary for most lean combustion engines. To tackle that, GM adopted a stratified combustion concept combining the reforming strategy.

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. —Zhang et al.
