CPT launching water-cooled electric supercharger for commercial diesel engines

Green Car Congress

At the 17 th Supercharging conference this week in Dresden, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) will launch what it says is the first water-cooled electric supercharger developed for “quasi-continuous” boosting of commercial diesel engines, including those developed for off highway applications. Cobra electric supercharger. Click to enlarge.

DOE announces $11.5M in Phase 1 funding for carbon capture and storage program; ARPA-E FLECCS

Green Car Congress

FLECCS project teams will work to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes that better enable technologies, such as natural gas power generators, to be responsive to grid conditions in a high variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration environment. 8 Rivers Capital.

2018 Toyota AYGO mid-lifecycle update features enhanced 1.0L engine; Euro 6d-TEMP-compliant; up to 61.8 mpg

Green Car Congress

But we also had to take into account the increased number of competitors which make the A-segment an even more challenging environment. As a result, combustion efficiency is further enhanced, improving both fuel economy and exhaust gas performance. Through significant improvements to the 1.0-liter,

DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The project team’s technology will consist of a novel methane oxidation catalyst (MOC) formulation capable of high conversion efficiencies at the lower exhaust temperatures in ultra-lean burn engines. Typical MOCs have diminished methane conversion efficiency at low temperatures, limiting their synergies with ultra-lean burn NG engines.

Mercedes-AMG reveals performance hybrid and battery-electric AMG derivative strategy

Green Car Congress

Conventional cooling systems, which only cool with air or indirectly cool the entire battery pack with water, quickly reach their limits—especially as the requirements continue to increase due to increasingly energy-dense cells. four-cylinder engine and electric exhaust-gas turbocharger. The vehicle remains neutrally balanced.

The new six-cylinder in-line engine comes with an intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start-off, the electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust turbocharger cuts in. Almost imperceptible restart of the engine.
