At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.

In order to further reduce its CO 2 emissions in this vehicle class, the gasoline engine will require a low-cost, basic hybrid solution. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch.

Applied to a turbocharged, downsized engine, MultiAir can contribute to up to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption over conventional naturally aspirated engines with the same performance, according to Fiat. Pollutant emissions are likewise reduced through combustion control.

A team at Monsanto and colleagues at AVL Powertrain have successfully designed and demonstrated an onboard low-temperature ethanol reformer that can be driven by exhaust heat. Many papers have described high-temperature steam reforming of ethanol at around 600 °C but.this temperature is too high to be driven by engine exhaust.

To keep the engine unit as small as possible, the exhaust manifold is integrated within the cylinder head and can therefore be cooled efficiently using the cylinder head water cooling system. liter T-GDI engine incorporates a high-pressure single-scroll turbocharger integrated within the exhaust manifold to improve operational efficiency.

The test engine for the paper was a 250cc single-cylinder unit with dual-camshaft-actuated reciprocating sleeve valves for induction and exhaust. Thus the Pinnacle engine offers the twin benefits of low emissions and improved efficiency at a low cost—an especially attractive proposition for their initial target market.

Aeristech’s 48v eSupercharger has already been demonstrated by MAHLE Powertrain UK in a D-segment appraisal vehicle using its downsized turbocharged 1.2 Because it is applied to the inlet side of the engine, it reduces the thermal mass in the exhaust stream which helps to maintain catalyst temperature, especially at lower speeds and loads.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized.
