CPT launching water-cooled electric supercharger for commercial diesel engines

Green Car Congress

At the 17 th Supercharging conference this week in Dresden, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) will launch what it says is the first water-cooled electric supercharger developed for “quasi-continuous” boosting of commercial diesel engines, including those developed for off highway applications. tonnes gross vehicle weight.

BorgWarner expands emissions business with new facility in India

Green Car Congress

BorgWarner opened a new 86,000-square-foot (8,000-square-meter) facility in Manesar, India, near New Delhi to produce exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers, tubes, valves and modules. Today’s downsized engines generate higher temperatures in the combustion chamber forming nitrogen oxide (NO x ).

MECA report assesses technology feasibility for heavy-duty diesel trucks to meet lower NOx standards by 2024

Green Car Congress

The Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA) released a report assessing market-ready technologies being commercialized by suppliers of emission control and efficiency components for heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet lower intermediate standards for oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) by 2024 as a transition to final standards in 2027.

CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

The switched reluctance (SR) motor-based SpeedStart and TIGERS technology are being incorporated into the recently announced Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain project known as ADEPT. The technology can also be applied to medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle platforms. Earlier post.)

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

In this report, MECA provides our assessment of technologies being commercialized by component suppliers, including MECA members, to help their customers comply with future lower NO x standards. This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010.

CPT VTES Electric Supercharger Selected for Two Projects

Green Car Congress

When applied to a radically downsized 1.2-liter liter turbocharged engine, VTES delivers in excess of a 50% increase in torque at engine speeds below 3,000rpm, more than compensating for insufficient power from the exhaust turbine. More than 90% of the available torque is delivered in less than a second. Compared with a 1.6-liter
