2011, Cost, Downsizing and Exhaust

HyBoost demonstrator debuts at LCV2011; 50% by swept volume downsizing with low-cost electrification

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 7, 2011

Together the partners have sought to demonstrate an extremely cost-effective, ultra-efficient gasoline engine in a C-segment passenger car delivering the performance of a baseline 2.0-liter In implementing this 50% downsizing by swept volume, the research team delivered zero degradation in driveability, performance or acceleration.

The project aims to deliver full hybrid equivalent fuel economy and performance with less than 70 g/km CO 2 emissions as measured over the European Drive Cycle, but at a significantly lower cost. In 2011, the HyBoost team reported that the HyBoost demonstrator was achieving comparable performance to the conventional 2.0L

Other technologies—such as efficiency improvements in gasoline engines as well as the rollout of hybrid electric power trains—offer more compelling and cost-effective pathways to reducing CO 2 emissions from European passenger cars, the ICCT says. For instance, hybrid electric vehicles and diesel cars in the small (e.g.,

Unlike exhaust-driven turbochargers, electric superchargers are driven by an electric motor. Highly efficient at low engine revolutions, electric superchargers make it possible to downsize engines. With this move, Valeo becomes the first automotive supplier to offer its customers a range of electric superchargers. Earlier post.).

LSPI is considered an impediment to aggressive engine downsizing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Cost to join the P 3 Consortium is $225,000 for original equipment manufacturers and those in the fuels and lubricants industry. The initial meeting for the Preignition Prevention Program Consortium is scheduled for January 2011.

Since this energy loss is primarily thermal in nature and can be attributed to the exhaust, cooling system, and engine and transmission surfaces, Mazda’s R&D team’s central focus is on improving the engine’s thermal efficiency cost-effectively. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. liter MZR gasoline engine.

The ESR is therefore a crucial scaling factor when evaluating the net effects of substituting gasoline with ethanol in terms of energy, GHG emissions and costs. Standard deviations increase by >10% and >200% when used in high and low blends, respectively. For instance, the ESR is 1.5 if the use of 1 MJ ethanol leads to a savings of 1.5

This CO 2 level is comparable to that emitted by equivalent sized full hybrid vehicles, yet avoids their need for high voltage and the significant impact a hybrid’s large batteries and traction motors have on overall vehicle cost, mass and packaging. A final key element of the RegEnBoost concept is the TIGERS turbo-generator.

We expect the efficiencies to continue to climb as modifications are made and new simulations are conducted, including computer modeling of the 2011 Nissan Sentra running with a Scuderi engine. With turbocharging, we can have some huge gains, we can downsize the engine and produce very big power. —Sal Scuderi. —Sal Scuderi.
