As
fuel economy and carbon emissions become more important to car buyers, manufacturers have identified cutting
air resistance as a cost -
effective way to improve these figures and so boost their product's appeal.
This flame ball sends a shockwave down towards the upcoming piston, producing an
effective secondary piston, squeezing the
air /
fuel mixture.
That said, replacing a worn valve cover gasket on certain engines is probably a more
effective way to recover lost performance as it can prevent unmetered
air from affecting
fuel trims (not to mention avoid unwanted oil leaks).
The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output,
fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the
air /
fuel mixture and, therefore,
effective combustion.
For a more precise,
effective air /
fuel mixture, direct injection sends
fuel directly into each cylinder through a multi-hole injector.
This results in longer
effective combustion as well as faster
air flow for the incoming gases, which improves the mixing of the
fuel and
air.
The Atkinson - cycle modification to Ford's in - line four - cylinder engine trades power and torque for efficiency by keeping the intake valves open slightly into the compression stroke, allowing some of the
fuel -
air mixture back into the intake manifold and thereby lowering the
effective displacement of the engine.
The 2.3 - liter inline - four gas engine is optimized for efficiency with the Atkinson combustion cycle, which lowers the
effective displacement of the engine by letting a bit of the
fuel -
air mixture out through the intake valves at the beginning of compression.
Your commercial truck or bus fleet will be cleaner, more efficient, and cost -
effective with an alternative
fuel and will help improve
air quality, increase
fuel independence, and protect the environment.
In doing so we'll also prevent some 1.5 million premature deaths annually due to improved
air quality.Soot Comes Out of the Atmosphere in Weeks, Not Decades Since soot — which in this context comes from older diesel engines and burning other fossil
fuels, industrial sources, inefficient biomass cookstoves used in many developing nations — comes out of the atmosphere in a matter of weeks, not decades or centuries like carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases, removing the source of pollution is highly
effective in both stopping the warming effects as well as improving
air quality.
We don't have to wait for
fuel cell technology to become more cost
effective to benefit from better
air quality.
