Already validated at proof-of-concept level, Libertine’s new hardware uses production-feasible component designs suitable for automotive hybrid powertrain modules, such as range extenders. Piston motion is the final major engine parameter that remains to be digitally controlled by the ECU rather than mechanically governed.

By over-expanding into adjacent de-activated cylinders, ECONAMIQ creates an additional power stroke within the existing engine architecture, with a significant thermal efficiency increase and cost savings as a result. Using the virtual simulation environment GT-Power, this cycle is applied to a 4-cylinder SI engine.

The turbocharged concept allows reaching engine speeds of 6,000 rpm, with a high indicated efficiency of 45% along with clean combustion; power density at 6,000 rpm is 64 kW, with 300 kPa intake pressure. Thus the HCPC range can extend to all engine operating conditions, including very high loads. Tamagna, D.,

The Scuderi Engine is a split-cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders. Intake air is compressed in the compression cylinder and transferred to the power cylinder for combustion. a more efficient internal combustion engine. Earlier post.).
