Among these are two projects in the fuel cells area and four projects in the vehicle area. Other projects address advanced manufacturing, bioenergy, buildings, geothermal, solar, water and wind technologies. In the first two rounds of the program, 12 DOE national labs received funding to partner with 76 small businesses.

The SKYACTIV-X combines the benefits of a spark-ignition gasoline engine—expansiveness at high rpms and cleaner exhaust emissions— with those of a compression-ignition diesel engine—superior initial response and fuel economy. The ideal (stoichiometric) air-fuel ratio is 14.7:1 In a vehicle with a 2.0L

Syracuse University (with BorgWarner of Ithaca) is working on a diesel engine fuel injection system that would create a “supercritical” mixture of fuel and carbon dioxide for a more efficient, less polluting engine. The technology could increase fuel efficiency 5 to 10%. NYSERDA funding: $260,000. NYSERDA funding: $50,000.

The first step of the process is the removal of CO 2 and saturation water that would freeze in the cryogenic section of the plant and therefore cause problems. The new system will help reduce a fleet operator’s fuel costs by more than 25% compared to diesel fuel. —Dan Heintzelman, president and CEO of GE Oil & Gas.

The pump’s cam stroke is increased to deliver more fuel when desired for increased power. All-new injector tips better atomize the fuel, resulting in improved combustion that enables lower noise, vibration and harshness. Other benefits include cleaner emissions and a reduction in the buildup of fuel deposits on the valves over time.
