Rolls-Royce and Robert Allan present world’s first LNG-powered shallow-water push boat

Green Car Congress

Rolls-Royce and Canadian vessel designers Robert Allan have developed the world’s first shallow-water push boat powered by LNG natural gas engines. LNG (liquefied natural gas) is gaining traction in maritime circles, enabling operators to reduce emissions that are harmful to the environment and to the climate.

Audi presents latest SQ5 TDI diesel; 48V MHEV & electric compressor

Green Car Congress

An actuator in the exhaust system, as fitted to the first SQ5 TDI, gives the V6 a sonorous sound. The intercooler has been changed over from an air/air cooler in the bumper to an indirect water/air cooler in the inside V of the engine. This offers the advantage since exhaust gas cleaning responds more quickly.

Borla Performance Industries developing muffler/membrane unit for exhaust water extraction with ORNL nanopore membrane technology

Green Car Congress

Borla Performance Industries , a leader in the design and manufacture of stainless steel performance exhaust, has an option to license a novel nanopore membrane technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The heat recovered could serve to preheat boiler feed water, thus providing an energy savings.

FEV working on water injection system using exhaust condensate; fuel consumption improvements up to 16% possible

Green Car Congress

FEV is developing a water injection system for internal combustion engines using condensate from exhaust gases, the “Extended Direct Condensate Injection” system. in the region of the minimum specific fuel consumption on a stoichiometric combustion concept with Miller cycle and cooled external exhaust gas recirculation.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Water is formed as a by-product.

SwRI CAT-DEF reduces heavy-duty diesel emissions to meet CARB 2027 NOx requirements

Green Car Congress

CAT-DEF—Catalyzed Diesel Exhaust Fluid—is an SwRI-developed catalyst- and surfactant-modified diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) solution. urea-water solution—is injected into the exhaust stream and ideally decomposes to form ammonia, which reacts with NO x on the SCR catalyst to form N 2 and H 2 O.
