It now includes variable valve timing on both exhaust and intake camshafts, and the new intake system opens the valves at a higher rpm to help keep the torque curve flat. The Altima offers a choice of a redesigned 2.5-liter liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine or 3.5-liter liter QR25 engine has been redesigned to be lighter and more efficient.

However, there are also significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. The engine uses a new generation turbocharger connected to a pulse converter type exhaust which optimises the use of exhaust pressure waves to increment the driving torque at low speeds.

Infiniti connects an electric motor to the Harmonic Drive reduction gear with a connecting control arm. The multi-link system means the piston connecting rods are almost vertical during the combustion cycle, rather than moving wider laterally as in a traditional crankshaft rotation.

On the diesel side—now available solely as BlueTEC units with SCR aftertreatment technology) , the focus is on downsizing and the new version of the V6 CDI engine. The two turbochargers are connected in series, and each has a turbine and a compressor driven by this turbine. BlueTEC diesel units. Earlier post.)

In the familiar gasoline engines of the previous EA111 series, the (‘hot’) exhaust side was at the front, and the engines were mounted with a forward tilt. The advantage is that the exhaust line, driveshafts and gearbox mounting position can be standardized. TSI, an exhaust camshaft adjuster is added.

The fundamental challenge is to convert as much of the chemical energy in the fuel, into mechanical energy, as efficiently as possible at the prescribed flow rate. A sole single-stage compressor and single-stage exhaust turbine are used for pressure charging. Conversion efficiency is now the key. Turbocharger. Brake System.

Cylinder deactivation: deactivates the intake and exhaust valves and prevents fuel injection into some cylinders during light-load operation. Variable valve timing: alters the timing or phase of the intake valve, exhaust valve, or both, primarily to reduce pumping losses, increase specific power, and control residual gases.

Focused on meeting a growing customer demand for ‘downsized’ engines offering strong power with reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the new gasoline and diesel powertrains are being progressively introduced across the Opel product range. The engine retains the proven concept of a turbine-integrated exhaust manifold.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. We are suggesting that the variation in power and energy from renewable sources can be managed much more easily and economically with the batteries in PHEVs when they are plugged into the grid with a low power connection.
