Controlled Power Technologies Packages Its Switched Reluctance Systems in ‘RegEnBoost’ System for Enhanced Support for Downsizing

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 11, 2009

CPT says that the RegEnBoost system enables a typical family-sized car to achieve less than 100 g/km CO 2 with a 1-liter gasoline engine, but when required can offer the same lively performance and in-gear acceleration of a 2-liter naturally aspirated powertrain. Hence the industry trend to dual-charging systems, CPT notes.

Ricardo’s “deep” Miller cycle concept: Magma

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 1, 2016

In its new report on downsized and boosted gasoline engine technologies ( earlier post ) the ICCT highlighted Ricardo’s work on an “extreme” Miller cycle concept with high (13:1) compression ratio (CR) and central direct injection in a downsized boosted engine. The concept places particular demands on the boosting system.

CPT developing 48-volt electric supercharger for micro-mild hybrids

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 29, 2011

Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. 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.
