Ricardo’s “deep” Miller cycle concept: Magma

Green Car Congress

In its new report on downsized and boosted gasoline engine technologies ( earlier post ) the ICCT highlighted Ricardo’s work on an “extreme” Miller cycle concept with high (13:1) compression ratio (CR) and central direct injection in a downsized boosted engine. A long exhaust stroke then extracts maximum efficiency. Resources.
