This allows the fuel mixture of each cylinder to be ignited at the ideal interval of every 60° of crankshaft rotation.

The shape of the piston crowns have been designed especially for the FSI engine. The design of the W12 engine necessitated the use of high pressure injectors with different placement angles in the cylinder head. For this reason, the “outer” cylinders (1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12) have different pistons than the “inner” cylinders (2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11).

The chain tensioners work on the same principle as in the primary drive. However, the tensioning force of the chain tensioner does not act on Primary Drive the tensioning rail, but rather on a mounted tensioning lever. The primary drive is driven by a sprocket on the crankshaft. A simplex roller chain drives At the end of the tensioning lever, a sprocket an intermediate gear, which provides speed running on ball bearings engages the secondary reduction and drives the secondary drives. chain. The chains of the secondary drives must be removed to take off the cylinder heads. The chain is guided by a sliding rail. Chain tensioning is provided by a spring-loaded chain tensioner, which is assisted and damped by engine oil from the oil supply circuit.

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • Status and Outlook for Biofuels, Other Alternative
    ESPOO 2008 VTT RESEARCH NOTES 2426 This outlook report reviews the situation for motor fuels and vehicle NOTES 2426 Status and outlook for biofuels, other alternative fuels and new vehicles VTT RESEARCH technology analysing the aspects of energy security, climate change, local emissions as well as sustainability. The focus is on alternative fuels, biofuels and new vehicle technologies in the time perspective until 2030. The study was carried out within IEA Advanced Motor Fuels Implementing Agreement and within the EU Bioenergy Network of Excellence (NoE). Gasoline and diesel are projected to remain the dominant automotive fuels until 2030. Vehicle technology and high quality fuels will eventually solve the problem of harmful exhaust emissions. The problem with greenhouse gas, CO2, still remains, and much attention will be given to increase efficiency. Hybrid technology is one option to reduce fuel consumption. Diesel engines are fuel efficient, but have high emissions compared with advanced gasoline engines. New combustion systems combining the best qualities of gasoline and diesel engines promise low emissions as well as high efficiency. By 2030, alternative fuels could represent a 10–30% share of transport fuels, depending on policies. Ambitious goals for biofuels in transport have been set. Currently the sustainability of biofuels is discussed extensively. Synthetic fuels promise excellent end-use properties, reduced emissions, and if produced from biomass, also reduced CO2 emissions. In the short term, energy savings will be the main measure against climate change in transport, fuel switches will have a secondary role.
