Today the whole automotive world is progressively transforming towards the adoption of new alternate, advanced and innovative technologies evolving in ICE and Vehicle technology to meet the stringent emission regulations and future CO2 goals while protecting the environment. May it be Engine downsizing, Down speeding, Cylinder deactivation, VCR, VVT, Dynamic Skip Fire (DSF), Alternate fuels, Alternate materials, Steel pistons, Advanced thermal barrier/coating technology, Electrification or Various degrees of hybridization.
The key to achieve better FE or reduction in CO2 emissions is realized by saving every pie of energy spent or reducing the parasitic losses and improving overall engine efficiencies wherever possible.
In this paper, an experimental study on the deployment of various energy saving technologies, concepts are exploited on small 2 cylinder common rail BSVI engine for friction reduction and efficiency improvements while moving forward from BSIV to BSVI legislation phase.
It has been demonstrated in this experiment that the whole package of friction reduction on an engine saves the engine FHP energy by 15% over the base BSIV engine.
The deployment of such technologies not only improves mechanical efficiency of BSVI engine by 5.43 % over the base BSIV engine configuration but also substantial improvement in engine performance and efficiencies with an average benefit of 4.6 % in BSFC over the base engine along with FE benefit when tested on vehicle.
