European Low Emission V4 Automotive Two-stroke Engine

Cel



The purpose of this industrial research project is to develop a small, compact, light weight and highly efficient clean spark ignition 2 stroke engine of 120 kW which could industrially replace the relatively big existing automotive spark ignition or diesel 4 stroke engine used in the top of the mid size or in the large size vehicles, including the minivan vehicles used for multi people and family transportation. The combination of several engines innovative technologies developed by the contractors (the IAPAC pneumatic fuel injection technique already developed by IFP for 2 stroke engines, the exhaust trapping valve and the cam profile switching systems developed by LOTUS and the dual delivery screw supercharger developed and manufactured by OPCON, one stage giving low pressure and high air flow for the engine scavenging, and the second stage giving high pressure and low air flow tor the IAPAC fuel injection) will be implemented in the advanced conception of this new engine up to the final economic and technical in vehicle evaluation stage. The total scientitic and technological ELEVATE programme amounts to 4,9 MECU during a period of 3,5 years.
The expected achievements in terms of fuel economy and environmental impact are as follows:
Respect of the most stringent emissions limits proposed in EU for spark ignition automotive engines in the year 2000 concerning regulated pollutants (CO, HC, Nox) and evaluation of the potential to meet year 2005 limits without DeNox catalyst.
Compared to its gasoline 4 stroke counterpart, reduction of fuel consumption and therefore of CO2 emissions by at least 15 % in the average conditions of use with an additional combined reduction of CO emissions (including cold start) and of unregulated nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions by about 80 % (N2O is known lo contribute
significantly to greenhouse effect as well as to the destruction of the ozone layer), leading therefore to a global greenhouse gas emission contribution reduced by 20 to 30 %.
Compared to its Diesel 4 stroke counterpart, it would provide similar level of fuel economy and CO2 emissions as prechamber Diesel with the advantages of impressive compactness and light weight combined with 5 to 10 times lower particulate emissions and 2 to 3 times lower NOx emissions.
The main RTD tasks necessary to comply with these industrial and technical objectives will start from the R & D of a single cylinder engine (to undertake research on the optimized multicylinder engine configuration with the help of scientific advanced simulation and experimental research tools) and of an adapted two stage screw compressor, followed by the R & D of the final multicylinder automotive 2 stroke engine prototype fitted with the 2 stage compressor, up to the in vehicle engine calibration and final technical and economic evaluation. The undertaking of these RTD tasks will rely on the combined expertise of the 3 main proposers and on the highly complementary expertise of the associate proposers: AE Goetze (dedicated pistons cooled by oil jet), FEV (reduction of engine wear and oil consumption by minimizing cylinder bore distortions), POLIMI (1D simulation of the engine pressure charging and supercharger), QUB (CFD of the scavenging air and pneumatic injection) and finally ROSI (exhaust pipe and oxidation catalysts with dedicated precious metal formulations).
The support and advises from the large European automotive Industry PSA Peugeot Citro‰n (supply of a vehicle possibly a minivan car, used for the evaluation), VOLKSWAGEN (supply of a vehicle for the demonstration stage according to the test bench results), ACG (supply of the injection components) and OPEL will introduce the constraints of industrial feasibility early in this project. In particular, the engine developed will use a conventional 4 stroke engine bottom end technology in order to minimize the technical and also industrial risks as well as the financial investment and to facilitate its introduction in the automotive production of the future. The successful implementation of this project would contribute to keep a better European balancing between gasoline and diesel fuels production on a refining point of view and would bring benefits to the EU of improved competitiveness in automotive world markets and increased employement, with increased gross products of individual EU partners leading to a strengthened EU economy.
