A key stage of the our project is to upgrade the reference vehicle, a JEEP Compass 1.3 PHEV Eu6d, to demonstrate the maximal potential of a plug-in hybrid vehicle, optimised to reduce both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in real driving conditions. A few weeks ago, we announced that the PHOENICE prototype assembly was underway. …
A key stage of the PHOENICE project is to upgrade the reference vehicle, a JEEP Compass 1.3 PHEV Eu6d, to demonstrate the maximal potential of a plug-in hybrid vehicle, optimised to reduce both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in real driving conditions. To perform this upgrade, the reference vehicle was first characterized at a roller …

Steady-state warm calibration of the PHOENICE prototype engine was conducted at relevant engine load points on IFPEN’s engine test bench. After calibrating with E10 (reference) fuel, we also used an alcohol-based fuel. In our case, E85 (containing 85%v of ethanol) was chosen. Tests were performed over a wide area to assess the potential of E85 …

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 …
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 …
PHOENICE latest open access paper about the design and development of the PHOENICE engine concept and the preliminary optimization of the engine calibration is out! Titled “A Synergic Use of Innovative Technologies for the Next Generation of High Efficiency Internal Combustion Engines for PHEVs: the PHOENICE Project”, the paper is available open access here: https://saemobilus.sae.org/content/2023-01-0224 This …
The PHOENICE project developed a fully physical virtual test rig to support the calibration of the highly efficient spark ignition engine of the project. Indeed, the availability of a reliable simulation platform is essential to effectively exploit the combination of the several features introduced to achieve the project target of 47% peak gross indicated efficiency, …
The first engine prototype has been assembled and installed at the IFPEN test bench! Most of the new features, including the high-pressure injection system, the long-route EGR loop, and the rebuilt airline embedding the new WCAC, have been successfully implemented. On the other hand, the baseline turbocharger and exhaust aftertreatment system were used for the …
