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 …

The concept embeds a high-speed electric motor (>200k rpm) into the core of the Turbocharger which is powered and controlled by Garrett’s own inverter. In this configuration, the inverter takes in DC current from the vehicle network and switches it into 3 phase AC to drive the motor. Powerful algorithms switch the phase currents at …

The manufacturing and on-bench characterization of waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) completed by Marelli Europe! Two different devices were considered: Exhaust heat recovery system (EHRS) for engine fast warm-up effect: the device consists of a heat exchanger (HE) and a by-pass tube+valve. When by-pass is closed, exhaust gas passes through the HE and transfers part …
