Task 1.1: Development of engines for extreme load conditions
 

Objectives

  • To develop and test components specially designed for operation at extreme load conditions of 35% higher firing pressure (up to 300 bar) and 25% higher mean piston speed (up to 12 m/s) compared to the similar existing products, and to study the effect on the engine performance and emissions.
  • To study and validate the influence of advanced working cycles on engine performance and emissions utilizing variable valve parameters.
  • To develop advanced in-cylinder measurement techniques
