Ricardo: achieving light-duty diesel RDE NOx compliance in urban driving is possible, at a price

Green Car Congress

A range of aftertreatment technology options are available to automakers seeking to achieve compliance with the impending EU Real Driving Emissions (RDE) regulations, according to the results of a Ricardo research project presented recently at the SIA Powertrain international conference and exhibition in Rouen, France.

at the ASME Turbo Expo 2016 conference this week in Seoul, South Korea. ​ Adding heat through internal combustion generates considerable entropy. Core exhaust loss. Radically reducing the excess kinetic energy is possible by increasing engine mass flow and reducing exhaust jet velocities (reducing specific thrust).

Comparison of brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption at rated power (ICOMIA Mode 5), hydrogen vs. gasoline engines. This is due to raw, externally premixed fresh charge comprising air, fuel and lube oil being short-circuited into the exhaust during the scavenging process. Oh and Plante. Click to enlarge.

UW-Madison engineer collaborating with entrepreneur on 6-cycle, external combustion engine; could be up to 30% more efficient than standard diesel

Green Car Congress

The K6 engine uses six strokes instead of four to reduce the pressure of exhaust gases, which allows it to harvest more energy rather than expelling it with the gas. Complete combustion of fuels results in low emissions which are not adversely affected by sulfur-containing fuels. —Timothy Shedd. —Tim Shedd.

The WDG also can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 95 percent in comparison to modern internal combustion vehicle engines. In a gas turbine application, the team noted, positioning the combustion process internally in the wave rotor could simplify porting between the turbo-compressor and the wave disc “ enormously ”.

It expands all the way to ambient pressure before the exhaust stroke. The power is produced in almost a 50-50 split between the combustion (central) and exhaust (largest) pistons. Transfer from the combustion cylinder to the exhaust cylinder takes place when the exhaust cylinder volume is minimal. and O’Malley, E.

In January, Johnson presented a paper at the Symposium on International Automotive Technology (SIAT 2011) in India that begins to provide more technical detail behind the engine as well as emissions and fuel consumption test results. An external air compressor feeds compressed air to the conditioning unit where it is mixed with exhaust gas.
