Project

Strategie e misure HW e SW su lato motore, trasmissione e veicolo at-te ad ottenere una riduzione di CO2 per un’applicazione su veicolo commerciale leggero (N1/M1 - EURO6) come richiesto dalla proposta della commissione europea del 28 Ottobre 2009.

Code PON01_01419
Field/s Energy, Transport and Logistics
Description Result of the project will be hard- and software strategies and meas-ures on engine, powertrain and vehicle which will enable a Light-Duty (LD) Truck class (N1/M1) to achieve the CO2 emission level as re-quired in the European commission proposal of 28th of October 2009 as well as the Euro6 emission level. To achieve both these challenging targets the test-engine will be equipped with an advanced high pressure fuel injection system, very higher than conventional systems till today on the market. This high pressure system enables a good fuel penetration inside the combus-tion chamber, a good atomization and vaporization of the fuel spray and thus a good air-fuel-mixture. This results in an high efficient com-bustion with lowest fuel consumption and emissions. Furthermore the system features a NOx-Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment-System. Different Systems will be investigated and the more appropri-ate system will be chosen for the further proceeding. These after-treatment systems, in fact, allow not only extremely reduced NOx-emissions but it is also expected to achieve lower CO2-emissions by application of an advanced engine calibration strategy. Additionally the prototype-engine will be controlled by an innovative cylinder pressure control system. This cylinder pressure control sys-tem allows a much more precise combustion control compared to state-of-the-art systems enabled by a direct feedback coming from the combustion chamber. Specifically realized advanced model for the combustion control will be enabled by mean of innovative sensors for combustion process. This new combination of control models and sensors characteristics will permit engine to operate at its thermody-namic optimum which is highly beneficial for CO2 reduction. Further-more a strong reduction respectively compensation of system and component tolerances can be achieved and this benefit can be utilized for a further CO2-reduction. The application of an energy recovery system will help to reduce losses (friction, heat, …) of the system and thus increase the efficiency - CO2 emissions will consequently be decreased. Since the engine map of a conventional diesel engine shows high specific fuel con-sumption only at very low loads and at low engine speed the diesel engine is for example highly dedicated for an hybrid drive to improve the driveway. For all required hardware and software first fundamental research is necessary in order to achieve EURO 6 emission limits (whose strategy in not yet clear for that class of application) and than CO2 reduction targets. A prototype engine, equipped with innovative HW components and control models, will provide results for energy re-covery potential on dinamic test bench.
