Direct injection of both fuels in RCCI may offer a way to decrease HC and CO emissions without sacrificing efficiency and NOx/PM benefits

Green Car Congress

Martin Wissink from the team presented a paper on the work at the ASME 2012 Internal Combustion Engine Division Fall Technical Conference in Vancouver, BC, this week. However, similar to other LTC strategies, RCCI suffers from levels of UHC and CO that are considerably higher than in conventional diesel combustion. Wissink et al.

Promising Delphi 1st-gen Gasoline Direct Injection Compression Ignition engine meeting ultra fuel efficient program targets

Green Car Congress

Compared to new diesel engines, the Delphi team found that BSFC for GDCI at light loads was comparable or better, and at high loads was about 5% higher. Throughout the world, many efforts are being made to improve the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines. Earlier post , earlier post.). Background. Earlier post.)

Army Research Lab team working to design piston engines optimized for JP-8

Green Car Congress

In the late 1980s, the DOD issued a “Single Fuel Forward” policy calling for use of JP-8 fuel to reduce the significant logistic burden associated with managing and transporting multiple fuels on the battlefield—albeit with Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) internal combustion piston engines originally.

OPOC maker Achates Power now concept-ready; ready to develop multi-cylinder engines for competitive demonstrations

Green Car Congress

Currently, Achates has demonstrated a single-cylinder CI OPOC two-stroke engine that matches the engine-out emissions of an advanced 2010 medium-duty diesel while achieving specific oil consumption of less than 0.1% A cost comparison showed an 11% cost improvement for the OP engine compared to a four-stroke diesel of equivalent power.
