Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used on - board catalytic fuel reforming to increase the brake efficiency of a multicylinder, stoichiometric spark - ignited (SI) engine by
increasing EGR dilution tolerance.
Not exact matches
I have been reading up on this, it seems that this extra throttle (if you really can call it that) is just there to
increase suction and therefore flow of inert gasses from the
EGR valve.
The engine RPM should drop noticeably when the tube is removed and plugged;
increase RPM when hose is reattached to the
EGR valve.
* Main bearings» profiles changed to enhance oil film thickness * Oil pump flow
increased for
increased pressure at low speeds * The turbocharger's oil circuit is changed to provide
increased pressure at the turbo and faster oil delivery * The connecting rods» pin ends are modified to provide
increased piston support * New, higher - strength piston design that eliminates bushings to provide lower reciprocating weight * An
EGR cooler bypass reduces high - mileage soot deposits in the cooler and
EGR circuit
Vehicles with
EGR systems equipped with
EGR coolers can potentially
increase fuel efficiency by 2 to 3 %.
EGR coolers decrease the temperature of hot exhaust gases recirculated into the intake manifold, which also
increases the density of the exhaust gas.
This helps
increase the performance of
EGR systems, which reduce engine loss and prevent engine knocking.
The benefits from internal
EGR are two-fold: Firstly, internal
EGR benefits part load fuel economy by diluting the charge within the cylinder, thus restricting output without the need for
increased throttling and its associated pumping losses.
A specially designed straight intake port
increases the tumble flow of the
EGR gas to allow fast combustion to further aid economy and boost power output.
Features include two - step variable valve lift, cooled
EGR, upgraded variable - valve timing, a new intake manifold, high - tumble intake ports, shrouded combustion chambers, eight - hole fuel injectors with optimized atomization, multiple friction - reduction features, and an
increased compression ratio of 11.3:1 (but still only requires 87 octane fuel).
Additional engine features: Iron cylinder block and aluminum DOHC cylinder head Forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods Oiling circuit that includes a dedicated feed for the turbocharger to provide
increased pressure at the turbo and faster oil delivery Piston - cooling oil jets 16.5:1 compression ratio Common rail direct injection fuel system Ceramic glow plugs for shorter heat - up times and higher glow temperatures Balance shaft that contributes to smoothness and drives the oil pump Laminated steel oil pan with upper aluminum section that contributes to engine rigidity and quietness B20 bio-diesel capability The Duramax 2.8 L is the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors, and meets some of the toughest U.S. emissions standards, thanks in part to a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (
EGR) system.
