ORNL Researchers Find Thermochemical Exhaust Heat Recuperation In Internal Combustion Engines Could Provide Substantial Boosts in Second-Law Efficiency

Green Car Congress

When reforming is not used, the fuel and exhaust pass through CV2 unchanged. The basic concept of TCR involves using exhaust heat to promote on-board reforming of hydrocarbon fuels into syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The syngas is then burned in the engine in place of some or all of the original fuel.

Novel opposed-piston free-piston linear generator for hybrids seeks to overcome drawbacks of earlier designs

Green Car Congress

novel opposed-piston free-piston linear generator is proposed.The main parts of the new designed system are a central combustion chamber and two linear generators. Secondly, the central combustion chamber is benefit for highly efficient scavenging via intake and exhaust ports without using valves. —Ling Huang 2012.
