Book Description
Heavy-duty diesel engines are in conflict between the goals of emission reduction and optimization of fuel consumption. To fulfill future more stringent exhaust gas limits further developments on diesel engine technology are necessary. The diesel injection system assists this development and becomes the decisive factor to reach the emission targets. In the last 30 years a trend to high-pressure fuel injection systems with an increase of maximum injection pressure from 800 up to 2000 bar is visible. In future very flexible high-pressure fuel injection systems are necessary with multiple injection and rate-shaping capabilities and a maximum injection pressure beyond 2000 bar. Very important is a high efficiency of the fuel injection system itself to reach low fuel consumption. New product engineering like new nozzle design (k-factor, vario nozzle,..) or new developed actuators are key factors for the fuel injection development. With a flexible diesel injection system in each point of the engine map the optimum rate shaping, injection timing and multiple injection are possible to get the best compromise between emission trade off and fuel consumption. For example with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) a rectangular type main injection with high injection pressures at full load is recommended. On the other hand, without EGR in this point of the engine map a boot or ramp shape injection leads to the best emission results at constant or improved fuel consumption. With a coupled post injection the soot emission could be reduced. The late post injection is assisting the exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. The regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is for example because of too low exhaust gas temperature without the support of the injection system not under all circumstances possible. The exhaust gas temperature management by late post injection is a measure to improve the efficiency of catalyst systems at low exhaust gas temperatures. Very important in the future is the capability of the electronic control unit (ECU) of the diesel injection system to control air management, exhaust gas emission management, tolerance reduction, diagnosis, vehicle functions and combustion process by the fuel injection system.

Book Description
Diesel injection nozzles, incorporated with common-rail, high-pressure injection system, have the variety in its geometries. The design parameters of injection nozzle need to meet the requirement of compact fuel spread and atomization followed by mixing with air and combustion in HSDI (High-Speed Direct Injection) diesel engines. Diesel injectors with various nozzle geometries were tested to investigate the spray characteristics by optical-imaging techniques. Sac-nozzle and VCO nozzle incorporated with common-rail system were tested to see the behavior of high-pressure injection. Detailed investigation into spray characteristics from the holes of VCO nozzles, mostly with double guided needle, was performed. A variety of injection hole geometries was tested and compared to give tips on better injector design. Different hole sizes and taper ratio, represented as K factor, were studied through comprehensive spray-imaging techniques. Global characteristics of non-evaporative transient diesel spray, such as spray penetration and spray angle were measured from macroscopic images, which were frozen by an instantaneous photography with spark light source and CCD camera. Internal structure during spray development for atomization was analyzed from microscopic images, which was manifested through magnified spray images taken by a long-distance microscope. These provided the better understanding of the spray surface structure and the primary breakup process of dense spray from VCO nozzles incorporated with common-rail injection system. Fuel droplet sizes, mainly represented by SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) were also estimated from the images. Spray images were taken in a pressurized chamber (up to 30 bar) at various ambient conditions and fuel supply pressures for various nozzle geometries. The spray development from sac-nozzle and VCO nozzle was discussed. The holes with different geometry in nozzles, especially differently tapered holes (0~2 in K factor), were found to give different macroscopic behavior in terms of spray penetration and spray angle and subsequently various atomization performances. Higher K factor and smaller exit hole sizes showed faster penetration, especially at lower ambient pressure, and smaller spray angle.

Book Description
Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.

Book Description
Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.

Book Description
For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

Book Description
Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI)/controlled auto-ignition (CAI) has emerged as one of the most promising engine technologies with the potential to combine fuel efficiency and improved emissions performance, offering reduced nitrous oxides and particulate matter alongside efficiency comparable with modern diesel engines. Despite the considerable advantages, its operational range is rather limited and controlling the combustion (timing of ignition and rate of energy release) is still an area of on-going research. Commercial applications are, however, close to reality. HCCI a.
