  • Development of Two-Stage Electric Turbocharging System for Automobiles
    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 52 No. 1 (March 2015) 71 Development of Two-stage Electric Turbocharging system for Automobiles BYEONGIL AN*1 NAOMICHI SHIBATA*2 HIROSHI SUZUKI*3 MOTOKI EBISU*1 Engine downsizing using supercharging is progressing to cope with tightening global environmental regulations. In addition, further improvement in fuel consumption is expected with such applications as ultra-high EGR, Miller cycle, and lean combustion. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed a two-stage electric turbocharging system to balance better drivability and improved fuel consumption by increasing the turbocharging pressure and improving the transient response. |1. Introduction Engine downsizing/downspeeding through supercharging is progressing to cope with annually enhanced improvement in fuel consumption and exhaust gas. Downsizing through direct injection and supercharging has been developed mainly in European countries where the CO2 regulations are the most stringent, and it has expedited the increase of the turbocharger installation rate in other areas. Diesel vehicles are supposed to satisfy the CO2 and exhaust gas regulation standards in 2021. However, gasoline vehicles are still not able to meet the standards even in the case of low-fuel consumption vehicles with supercharged downsizing, and further measures are required. The adoption of WLTC (Worldwide harmonized Light duty driving Test Cycle) is planned globally in and after 2017, and new regulations taking actual driving conditions into consideration are being discussed. Turbochargers are required to provide a further boost pressure and better response, as well as robust and easy to operate characteristics, for this purpose. Existing turbochargers have a time-lag and EGR response delay, and proper control is difficult.

  • Engine Downsizing - an Analysis Perspective
    Visit the SIMULIA Resource Center for more customer examples. Engine Downsizing - An Analysis Perspective Mark Stephenson MAHLE Powertrain MAHLE Powertrain (MPT) is constantly exploring new ways to improve the efficiency and performance of engines to meet the demanding objectives Automotive OEM’s are faced with today, i.e. to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. MPT’s key expertise lies in the development of high performance engines with low emissions and excellent fuel economy through the optimisation of gas exchange, combustion, friction and durability. This strategy is being demonstrated by the development of MAHLE’s own state of the art three- cylinder 1.2-litre downsizing technology demonstrator engine which has been designed, built and tested at Northampton in the UK. One of the objectives of the project was to design a compact engine with high specific power output by using a turbo charger combined with state of the art direct injection technology and variable valve timing. This ensures that vehicle performance targets can be met using the smallest capacity engine thus minimising throttling losses which otherwise leads to high fuel consumption. With such a high specific power output predictive analysis has played a key role in guiding, validating and optimising the design. This paper highlights the use of Abaqus to perform structural analysis of the main engine: connecting rod, crankshaft and cylinder block bottom end as well as thermo-mechanical analyses of the head and block assembly and exhaust manifolds. 1. Introduction Since the agreement to reduce average new car CO2 emissions to 140g/km by 2008, fuel consumption improvement has been one of the main drivers for engine development within the automotive industry.

The currently produced cylinder deactivation engines utilize fixed-type cylinder deactivation in which only a fixed number of cylinders are deactivated. As fixed-type cylinder deactivation has some shortcomings, variable-type cylinder deactivation with no limit on the number of deactivated cylinders is under research. For variable-type cylinder deactivation, control is more complicated and production cost is higher than fixed-type cylinder deactivation. Therefore, it is necessary to select the cylinder deactivation control method considering both advantages and disadvantages of the two control methods. In this study, a fuel economy prediction simulation model was created using the measurement data of various vehicles with engine displacements of 1.0–5.0 L. The fuel economy improvement of fixed-type cylinder deactivation was compared with that of variable-type cylinder deactivation using the created simulation.

  • Flow Testing and Evaluation
    About MAX BMW Motorcycles Machine Shop Articles: 2017 brings MAX BMW's Machine Shop to full operational status and a series of articles on our individual machines and operational practices. In this series, we highlight some of the specific equipment, tools and jigs we have developed to come to the exacting standards of ultimate quality, attention to detail, accurate measurements and swift turnaround of customer jobs. ARTICLE 3 April 21, 2017 Flow Testing and Evaluation In this article, we are going to start looking at a few performance services that are available at MAX BMW. Specifically, we’ll look at an overview of cylinder head performance through flow testing and evaluation. With any machine shop work, the proper tools are essential when exacting results and a high standard of quality are required. One of those tools is our Super Flow SF600 cylinder head flow bench. 2 When building an engine where more power is desired, everything in the engine must be considered to be working together as a package. The starting point for any project is always understanding its intended use. Are you building a stock engine, a high horse power street bike or perhaps a track-only bike that sees sustained high rpms and loads? Once this is determined, the details to achieve these goals fall into place. Specifically, engine displacement, cam selection, cylinder head improvements such as valve size and material, valve seat machining and port design are all areas that can be modified and tuned for performance improvements. Even though there have been volumes written on air flow theory and port design, this will be a brief overview to help understand how it can all be measured, modified and tested to prove effective results.

Metering the fuel requires measuring the airflow and measuring the airflow introduces the venturi. Metering the fuel flow introduces boosters. The high flow velocity requirement constrains the size of the air passages. These obstructions cause a pressure drop, a necessary consequence of proper carburetor function. Carburetors are sized by airflow, airflow at 5% pressure drop for four-barrels, 10% for two-barrels. This means that the price for a properly sized four-barrel is a 5% pressure loss and a corresponding 5% horsepower loss. The important thing to remember is that carburetors are sized to provide balanced performance across the entire driving range, not just peak horsepower. When designing low and mid range metering, the carburetor engineers assume airflow conditions for a properly As with everything in the engine, airflow is power. sized carburetor - one sized for 5% loss at the power peak.

  • Comparison of Characteristics of Spark Plug Engines Fsi, Tsi/Tfsi Type of Volkswagen Company
    SCIENTIFIC PROCEEDINGS XXIII INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL CONFERENCE "trans & MOTAUTO ’15" ISSN 1310-3946 COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS OF SPARK PLUG ENGINES FSI, TSI/TFSI TYPE OF VOLKSWAGEN COMPANY PhD. Eng. Krzysztof Miksiewicz Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland [email protected] Abstract: The use of direct injection in spark ignition engines, significantly facilitated the use of chargers in these engines. This resulted lately in the significant popularization of direct injection engines, initially freely sucking and in final result turbocharged. The greatest popularity on the market gained engines of Volkswagen company, named FSI and TFSI / TSI. Application of Common Rail systems allowed not only to improve the characteristics of the engine by increasing the accuracy in dispensing fuel into individual cylinders. The most important gain is the possibility of second injection of the fuel to the cylinder after the intake valve is closed. On the one hand it allows better control of the load in the cylinder, at first with the piston crown, and now with shaping the injection by the injector.

Mechanical Systems Design Mechanical Engineering Department Subject: Advanced Engine Design I/C Prof M Marouf Wani Topic: Design Of Diesel Passenger Car Engine A Compression Ignition Engine Design Objective: Estimate Engine Displacement Volume Required – 05-10-2020 Numerical Example: Q1 Design a Diesel Passenger Car Engine. The engine is to have a rated power of 100 KW at 4200 rpm. Solution: The engine has to be designed for a passenger car run by diesel fuel This is a C.I engine based Passenger Car Given Data: Rated Power = 100 KW Rated Speed = 4200 rpm The above Rated Speed suits a diesel passenger car engine for the following reasons: Consider the equation for Newton’s Second Law of Motion for a reciprocating piston . F = m*a Reason 1 Lean Operation of CI engines. A/F = 18 - 70 1. For pollution control the CI engines are operated lean. 2. So CI engines have larger displacement volume as compared to SI engines for same power. 3. Larger displacement volume will make the geometrical size and therefore the mass of the piston for CI engine larger. 4. Assuming that the force F acting on the piston is same for both the SI and CI engines. 5. Since the term mass m of the piston on the right hand side of the Newton’s second law of motion has a higher value for CI engines, so the second term acceleration, a should be brought down. 6. So the crankshaft rotational speed N is decreased. 1 Note : Inertia is associated with mass only.
