Car Technology Trend Heading to Euro 6 Standards (2)
PIEZO Generation injectors and Magnetic. Tight regulations increasing on automobile emissions standards that will be marketed later, is the government’s efforts to reduce emissions. Because the greenhouse effect or global warming even more worrisome. Otherwise are efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Various ways have been taken. Including made hybrid and electric cars. But implementation is not easy because of many factors to consider.
If the car uses electric power, van be imagine the engine factory foundry would stop production. this industry supported many people on this earth. Their number is many. So reference, last year alone, the number of cars (not including motorcycles), which produced reached 51 million units. Thus, the economic element is also very strong.
Therefore, the transition to electrification, automotive engineers continue to develop the current engine components.
PIEZO injectors
heading to implementation Euro6 regulation, one way that automakers do – work with suppliers – is the reverse component that makes the engine work more efficiently. Important component of machines today’s that determine the efficiency of the engine injector, both for diesel and gasoline.
Introduce new generation of piezoelectric injection and nozzles that use for diesel engine. PIEZO element acts directly on the nozzle needle without the need for an intermediary hydraulic system. In this way the degree and duration of injector opening (work) can be controlled more accurately.
In this way, there are new options. Currently only used multiple injections are still needed by some mechanical components. With the new injector, the actuator also PIEZO works as sensors that report the position of the nozzle needle precisely to the engine computer.
The result, the system itself will control the flow of fuel. Computer machines, in addition to controlling the vehicle, can also detect any change in fuel flow to the injectors. Remarkably again, the computer can adjust the injector individually (their own).
The result, emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be derived. Fuel consumption is also so much more efficient. Nitrogen oxide emission reduction achieved Euro6 standard, close to 80 mg / km, from the previous Euro5, 180 mg / km.
Development of the hydraulic injector design is also able to optimize the engine work. It has been proven by millions PIEZO common rail systems in use today. At present PIEZO fuel injectors, is returned to the tank could be lowered to 40 percent.
The result, CO2 emissions in passenger cars that use diesel can be minus one gram per km. Another positive outcome is to supply fuel to use a lower-pressure pump. This part reduces the cost of components.
Magnetic injector
For gasoline engines the more vigorous injection system directly, the latest generation injectors in magnetic work. According to Continental, they managed to develop a new XL3 generation injector capable of minimizing the volume of injection. This is a new option from the system already in use, ie multiple injections or also known as the gradual injection (stratified).
The result is a more efficient combustion, more fuel consumption and the main target of CO2 emissions plus the lower component prices more affordable.
