Gas-handling
Air System & Base Engine Development

Objective

  • Develop gas-handling system considering airflow, pumping and emissions targets/requirements.

Approach

  • Utilize appropriate analytical tool to determine optimum gas-handling system.
    • Spreadsheet based tool for initial hardware specification.
    • 1D Engine simulation.
      • Steady state, transient.
      • Turbocharger layout and matching.
      • Platform requirements (airbox dP, exhaust BP, cooling, etc.)
      • EGR system design (valve sizing, cooler requirements, etc…)
    • 1D-3D CFD coupled models where appropriate.
      • EGR mixing
      • Complex geometry
      • Platform requirements (airbox dP, exhaust BP, cooling, etc.)
      • EGR system design (valve sizing, cooler requirements, etc…)
    • Incorporate design variables as required.
      • Base engine structure (bore, stroke, etc…)
      • Valvetrain

Deliverables

  • Optimum hardware solution considering performance, cost and complexity.
