Using a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), the scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and their partners found that the particle size and oxidation state of the platinum component during operation can be modified specifically and dynamically during operation. The project is funded with €960,000 (US$1.1 201707842.

The proven concept of the exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head has been retained. Increase in charge density through efficient exhaust gas turbocharging. A world-first for the TSI evo is the use of an exhaust gas turbocharger with electrically actuated variable turbine geometry (VTG).

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have demonstrated that noble metal atoms may assemble to form clusters under certain conditions. These clusters are more reactive than the single atoms and, hence, exhaust gases can be much better removed. Graphics: Florian Maurer, KIT). —Jan-Dierk Grunwaldt.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is the coordinator of that project, in cooperation with TU Kaiserslautern and TU München. A separate project, Kopernikus-Projekt P2X , is exploring the production and application aspects of oxymethylenether as a fuel and polymer. Earlier post.) Martin Härtl, who coordinates the project.

Key advances for Gen 3 are in weight reduction, friction reduction, and the internal exhaust cooling system. Like its predecessor, the engine has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum-alloy cylinder head which now has the exhaust headers cast integrally. Integrated exhaust manifold with cooling.

kWh Li-ion polymer pack from LG Chem provides the energy storage. The Atkinson cycle engines features head-block split cooling with a hollow exhaust valve, a long stroke, cooled EGR, and low-friction coating. The Ioniq Electric features a 28 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery for an estimated driving range of 124 miles.
