As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance engine efficiency and reduce emissions, PHOENICE has successfully completed the calibration of Engine #2 at Politecnico di Torino!

A control strategy for the transitions among different combustion modes has been developed and tested at Politecnico di Torino facilities. The logic is based on two temperatures, the engine coolant temperature measured downstream the engine thermostat, and the inlet SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) temperature measured upstream the SCR device. The performance of different cycles including …

PHOENICE Engine steady-state warm calibration

Steady-state warm calibration of the PHOENICE prototype engine was carried out at relevant engine load points on IFP Energies nouvelles‘s engine test bench. A specific sequential methodology of optimization has been set to achieve the lowest fuel consumption while minimizing the pollutant emissions. This calibration has been performed on ~40 operating points: operating points defined as …

PHOENICE developed a new Euro7-ready exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) including a diesel-like SCR and an EHC optimized for engine lean operation

The PHOENICE EATS comprises two sections: a close-coupled section, primarily designed to control gaseous emissions under cold-start and stoichiometric (λ=1) conditions, as well as particulate matter, and an underfloor section, which is necessary for NOx conversion under lean conditions and to reduce the concentration of additional pollutants such as ammonia. The results of exhaust after-treatment …
