Both gasoline engine series have low -
friction cylinder walls and a particulate filter as standard.
The engine features dual overhead camshafts with variable valve timing, low -
friction cylinder walls, bucket tappets (as opposed to rocker arms) and an impressive 11:1 compression ratio.
Not exact matches
But only the normal fraction will rotate with the
cylinder, because of
friction between it and the
cylinder walls; the superfluid portion cuts right through the normal fluid and remains still.
Traffic regulations in a large number of countries require trucks to always drive with an engaged gear, which in turn provides a certain amount of engine braking (viscous losses to the engine oil and air pumped through the engine and
friction losses to the
cylinder walls and bearings) when no accelerator pedal is applied.
Low
friction pistons made of aluminium alloy are lightweight and have «micro-dimples» on the
cylinder walls for improved lubrication.
A new chain - driven timing gear and a complex
cylinder wall machining process have reduced internal
friction.
The Nu four -
cylinder engine also has an offset crankshaft design that reduces
friction and pressure between the piston and
cylinder wall for a one - percent improvement in fuel economy.
The crankcase is very rigid due to its closed - deck design — which means that the
cylinder water jacket is closed at the top — while thermally joined, high - strength
cylinder liners with twin - wire, arc - sprayed coating save weight, allow greater thermal transfer due to the thinner
cylinder wall thickness and reduce internal
friction.
Able to thrust the G 550 from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.9 seconds, it features a «hot inside V» turbo layout, patented low -
friction NANOSLIDE
cylinder walls, and an ECO Start / Stop system.
This reduces
friction caused by the side thrust of the pistons against the
cylinder walls, just after top - dead - center, as each piston begins its descent on the firing stroke.
Benz says it's tough and wear resistant, reducing
friction between the piston and
cylinder wall and thus increasing efficiency.
By implementing a new
cylinder wall coating process, in which a plasma beam coats the
cylinder surface with iron, engineers reduced
friction and thereby the consumption of fuel and oil.
The Nu four -
cylinder engine also has an offset crankshaft design that reduces
friction between the piston and
cylinder wall for a one percent improvement in fuel economy.
The engine also utilizes mirror bore
cylinder coating to help reduce engine weight by around three pounds and reduces
friction between the piston ring and the
cylinder wall (versus heavy cast iron
cylinder liners).
Also of great importance is the Nanoslide technology — an extremely thin, low -
friction coating of the
cylinder walls, two measures that reduce
friction.
Its brand new, low -
friction architecture includes a 10 mm offset crankshaft with minimal piston side - load, reducing lateral forces against the
cylinder walls.
