AIM: to increase engine power density and combustion cycle efficiency
to drastically higher level than today?€™s state-of-the-art. This will be
performed by developing compression ignition engines designed for efficient and
environmentally friendly operation under extreme working conditions.
Objectives:
To create general knowledge about a diesel engine operating under extreme
thermal and mechanical load
To study the influence of advanced working cycles on engine performance
and emissions
To find design and material solutions to overcome the problems caused by
the extreme conditions with regard both to mechanical and thermal load
To develop new components and integrate them on engines
To perform full-scale tests to evaluate the developed technologies
