Natural gas direct injection in advanced engines and powertrains

先进发动机和动力系统的天然气直喷。该项目旨在量化和了解未来先进乘用车在优化天然气直喷（DI）后的性能。这样的量产车辆并不存在，很大程度上是因为用于天然气、火花点火发动机的量产直喷系统还没有出现。该项目将使用一套最先进的实验和数值技术来研究先进的传统和混合动力汽车。该项目将量化这些车辆的环境、技术和经济性能，以确定直驱天然气、传统和混合动力汽车是否可以减少大量温室气体（GHG）排放，同时避免对消费者造成任何惩罚。这项研究可以为全球温室气体减排做出贡献。

Natural gas direct injection in advanced engines and powertrains. This project aims to quantify and understand how future, advanced passenger vehicles might perform when optimised for the direct injection (DI) of natural gas. Such production vehicles do not exist, largely because production DI systems for natural gas, spark ignition engines are not yet available. This project will examine both advanced conventional and hybrid vehicles using a suite of state-of-the-art experimental and numerical techniques. This project will quantify these vehicles’ environmental, technical and economic performance to determine whether DI natural gas, conventional and hybrid vehicles might reduce substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions whilst avoiding any consumer penalty. This research could contribute to global GHG abatement.
