Automotive supplier KSPG Automotive (formerly Kolbenschmidt Pierburg), a subsidiary of Rheinmetall AG, and FEV have jointly developed a concept for a compact, 30 kW range extender for battery-electric vehicles. The automobile can thus be delivered with or without a range extender and allows for a modular design concept.

Knock and fuel octane rating are becoming increasingly important due to many powertrain design trends including downsizing, downspeeding, cylinder deactivation, and hybridization. … The concept of an “effective octane number” calculates overall knock resistance of fuel in modern engines, including the effects of charge cooling.

MHI looks for the EXTREM to become a strategic product that will lead the LNG carrier market. Concept of the UST. After the steam from the boiler drives the high-pressure turbine, the exhausted steam is returned to the boiler and reheated for driving to the medium-pressure turbine, and subsequently the low-pressure turbine.

Nevertheless, with many fewer observations and the fact that DI engines are just beginning to enter the market, more tests are needed for DI-engine vehicles on low blends. In general, carburetor-engine vehicles appear to be able to better take advantage of low blends than FI-engine vehicles while DI- engine vehicles do not seem to benefit.

The concept ensures long term energy storage for delivering short bursts of power to the VTES supercharger during vehicle accelerations and to the SpeedStart stop-start device during engine re-starts. Conversely, short bursts of power can also be absorbed by the SpeedStart generator to recharge the battery during vehicle decelerations.

million grant to develop and to demonstrate a new ultra fuel efficient vehicle (UFEV) vehicle concept. Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. Earlier post.)

V-Charge integrates a supercharger with a mechanical variable speed drive to address a key barrier to engine downsizing by providing near instant response at any engine speed. This allows us to evolve a purpose-made unit that brings the technology much closer to market than previous proof-of-concept hardware.

Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging. Scavenging continues until a 230° crank angle, at which time the exhaust ports close.

In addition to standardizing conventional internal combustion engines, the MQB also enables an identical mounting position for all current alternative drive concepts without limitations, from natural gas and hybrid versions to the pure electric drive. The engines of the EA211 series are also characterized by a new mounting position.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. This change is unlikely to happen unless the proper marketing forces and new industries are created.
