At the 21 st Supercharging Conference in Dresden next week, Torotrak Group will present results from engine testing that verify previous claims for V-Charge, a variable drive mechanical supercharger. V-Charge system with mechanical variable drive outperforms conventional boosting methods on downsized gasoline engine.

Alan Taub said that the company is putting on a “ major thrust ” in its R&D laboratory to see if it can get split-cycle technology “ moving ” He made the remarks during the introductory plenary session today at the DOE’s 17 th Directions in Engine-Efficiency and Emissions Research (DEER) Conference in Detroit.

The company presented its first results at the annual ASME ICEF (Internal Combustion Engine Fall) conference in Chicago. Hybrid electric vehicles could especially benefit from this new technology, since the rapid engine warm up and high efficiency cycle that ECONAMIQ offers uses less fuel during power-assisted operation or battery charging.

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

When applied to a radically downsized 1.2-liter liter naturally aspirated engine, the downsized engine with electric supercharger reduces the 70-100 km/h (44-63 mph) top gear acceleration time from 18 to 11 seconds. CPT will showcase VTES at the international supercharging conference held in Dresden 24-25 September 2009.

Ford engineers also presented two other papers evaluating the effects of low to mid-level ethanol blends in spark-ignited engines at the conference. In a direct injection engine, they noted, the cooling of the charge and consequent knock relief provided by the evaporation of the fuel is proportional to the fuel flow per unit mass of air.
