New 4-cylinder 2.3L EcoBoost on Lincoln MKC small SUV; future EcoBoost prospects

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 17, 2013

Featuring a twin-scroll turbocharger and a three-port integrated exhaust manifold (IEM), the 2.3-liter EcoBoost technology is available in every region Ford serves worldwide, and will be offered on approximately 80% of the company’s global nameplates by the end of this year. Ford specifically engineered the 2.3-liter

The successful application of the technologies would allow a global vehicle manufacturer to reduce its in-use carbon footprint of a typical vehicle by 50g/km—a 30% reduction on today’s baseline. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C. SpeedStart.

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. A significant fraction of the GDI PM 2.5 The extent of fuel-air mixing can be affected by injection system design. —Zimmerman.

Dedicated ethanol (or E85) engines have the promise to improve efficiency substantially over comparable regular gasoline engines through direct-injection, increased geometric CR, variable valve timing, exhaust gas recirculation, aggressive turbocharging, and downsizing and/or downspeeding.

Thus, the researchers concluded, switching from PFI to GDI vehicles will likely lead to a reduction in net global warming. Therefore, the secondary organic aerosol and ozone formation potential of the exhaust does not depend on engine technology. —Saliba et al. Georges Saliba, Rawad Saleh, Yunliang Zhao, Albert A.

The researchers also noted the significant global interest in alcohol fuels for SI engines. Such downsizing may help offset the low energy density of ethanol, while problems with cold star due to reduced volatility can also be reduced via, for example, advanced DI operating strategies. 2012.10.041.

Automakers are finding it difficult to challenge those boldface numbers with internal combustion alone, especially as engines are relentlessly downsized to meet regulations. And where costs are plummeting for EVs, they’re already rising for ICE cars, as automakers divert resources elsewhere. And don’t forget sound.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. It is much more than that.
