As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C. Rick Quinn, senior manager for advanced engineering.

Other consortium members include Ford, IAV, BP, University of Nottingham and Imperial College London. The VIPER project builds on our exhaust gas energy recovery work already underway for the HyBoost program. The new VIPER project aims to show how a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 4.5% The project is being led by Jaguar Land Rover.

Inefficiency not only increases fuel consumption and CO2 emissions but leads to heat generation in critical areas of the system, potentially causing fuel degradation and deposits, especially when running with high biofuel contents. Delphi’s strategy has been to develop a novel, highly modular system, which brings multiple benefits.

Researchers at Imperial College London are developing an artificial leaf to help them better understand how trees convert sunlight into energy in the hope that they can mimic the process in the development of the next generation of clean power sources. Unlike normal leaves, the new devices would not suck CO2 out of the atmosphere.
