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

Green Car Congress

Schematic of the conceptual ideal piston engine used for the TCR study. 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).

New split-cycle concept to control diesel HCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

A team from Universita degli Studi di Pisa (Italy) and Rolf Reitz at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are proposing a novel combustion concept—Homogenous Charge Progressive Combustion (HCPC)—based on a split-cycle principle to control HCCI combustion in diesel-fueled engines. —Musu et al., SAE 2010-01-2107.

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

Green Car Congress

Secondly, the central combustion chamber is benefit for highly efficient scavenging via intake and exhaust ports without using valves. In an SAE paper, Huang describes a modeling and simulation study of the new free-piston linear generator. For further study, an accurate model of the linear generator and combustion will be developed.

ECONAMIQ: Flexible over-expansion with cylinder deactivation can reduce ICE fuel consumption by up to 20%

Green Car Congress

An adaption of cylinder de-activation technique called ECONAMIQ over-expansion can be applied to engines to improve fuel efficiency. Using the pressure from the exhaust gas from the active cylinders, the ‘idle’ cylinders could be expanded to extract more work out of the engine during partial load operation. de Jong (2019).

Dalian team proposes jet controlled compression ignition to control PCCI phasing in a hybrid pneumatic engine

Green Car Congress

It compresses the pressurized gas produced by exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising fresh air and exhaust gas introduced from the EGR valve. For the current study, the engine was derived from a single-cylinder, naturally aspirated, high-speed direct-injection (HSDI) diesel engine with a displacement of 0.418 L.
