Advance Spark-Ignition Engine Development
 |
Based on the concept of the SI engine combustion system, advance development embraces the areas of exhaust gas aftertreatment, engine cooling and overall system control.
This integrated approach makes it possible early on in the development process to correlate critical interactions and provides an all-embracing analysis for studying the potentials available and concepts implemented.
Needless to say, the following sub-systems (e.g. injection system) and tools
(optical measurement techniques, etc) are used and advanced as an overarching function of the advance development process.

TOPICS
In developing and optimizing combustion processes for reciprocating engines, attention focuses on fuel economy, driving fun, cleaner emissions as well as the cost and time frame.
The cooling system in a modern-day vehicle is required to do more than just protect the engine from overheating. Instead, it must manage the overall heat balance of powertrain and engine periphery. By controlling substance and heat flows in line with demand, a major contribution can be made to reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as to enhancing comfort.
The aim of exhaust gas aftertreatment is to reliably meet present and future emission standards and satisfy the demand for long-term stability in conjunction with optimizing and bringing down the cost of system components and system diagnostibility.
