Combustion Processes
The optimization as well as the development of new combustion processes represents a central scope of work in the field of internal combustion engines. In this connection, the entire spectrum of gasoline and diesel engines in passenger cars and commercial vehicles is covered. Besides the use of corresponding single-cylinder test benches and measuring techniques, extensive commercial analysis tools and those developed in-house are available for these tasks. Together with accompanying simulation calculations, this allows optimizing combustion chamber geometries and injector geometries in a relatively short period of time, improving charge-exchange processes or developing.
Gasoline Engine Combustion Processes
Today, the gasoline engine combustion offers a higher potential for the introduction of efficiency-increasing technologies, in part also due to the simpler and more efficient exhaust-gas aftertreatment in comparison with diesel processes. In this context, the FKFS features a long tradition, particularly in analysis, evaluation and optimization of direct-injection processes.

Diesel Engines
Combustion processes for diesel fuels have been subject to a rapid development for several years now. It is driven by an increasingly more restrictive emission legislation on the one hand and the high demands on efficiency and comfort on the other hand. Hence, great efforts continue to be required in the future to obtain the efficiency advantages of the diesel combustion process through the increasing number of exhaust-gas treatment systems and increasingly restrictive degrees of freedom. Besides the optimization of existing processes by improving the mixture formation systems and charge motion as well as increasing the exhaust-gas recirculation rate and the charging pressure, the FKFS is predominantly working on implementing the potential of homogenous and partially homogenous diesel combustion processes.
