Natural Gas
Today, natural gas engines already show a great potential for minimizing CO2 emissions due to the positive H/C ratio of natural gas. The adaptation of mixture formation and combustion to natural gas as a fuel in order to obtain highest efficiency levels represents an important scope of work at the FKFS.
- Injector development for a jet-formed CNG combustion process.
Additional improvements to today's natural gas engines are possible using new combustion processes adapted to the fuel. As a result, internal mixture formation used to avoid gas filling losses for intake manifold injection is one option. Furthermore, designing a jet-formed process provides the possibility for further increases in efficiency levels using an unrestricted partial load.
