Fuel Air Mixing Engineering (FAME)

世界各地对车辆排放的控制正变得更加严格，以改善环境性能。在欧洲，氮氧化物、碳氢化合物、一氧化碳和颗粒物的排放受到控制，并将于2014年实施更严格的排放限制(欧盟6)。性能要求的这一步变化，再加上其他法规的变化，表明了开发排放控制技术的明显商业需要。二氧化碳减排是汽车市场的一个关键驱动力，这是由于在燃料成本螺旋式上升的情况下，减少二氧化碳排放和为客户提供更低的燃油消耗的双重要求所推动的。与市场领导者的合作强调了解决这些问题的新技术的必要性。FAME介绍了预燃装置在预混汽油内燃机(RHK1)中的使用。该装置的设计目的是通过在燃油喷射到气缸之前改善空气/燃料混合物的质量来减少车辆排放并提高燃油经济性。该项目将进一步发展其中一个合作伙伴在早些时候的可行性研究中试验的概念，以改善已经获得的削减，并帮助为技术上市做准备。FAME是一个由三家高度创新的公司和一家世界汽车工程领先者指导的为期两年的应用研发合作项目。该财团包括汽车行业的一家最终用户合作伙伴。

Emissions control on vehicles is becoming more tightly regulated throughout the world to improve the environmental performance. Within Europe, emissions of Nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, Carbon monoxide and particulate matter are controlled and tighter emissions limits are set to come into place in 2014 (Euro 6). This step change in the performance requirements coupled with other regulation changes presents a clear commercial need to develop emissions control technologies. CO2 reduction is a key driver in the automotive market fuelled by the twin requirements of reducing CO2 emissions and offering customers reduced fuel consumption in the face of spiralling fuel costs. Work with market leaders has emphasised the need for new technology to address these issues.FAME introduces the use of a pre-combustion device for premixed charge petrol internal combustion engines (RHK1). The device has been designed to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy by improving the air/fuel mixture quality before fuel injection into the cylinder. The project will further develop the concept trialled in an earlier feasibility study by one of the partners to improve the reductions already gained and help prepare the technology for market.FAME is a 2 year Applied R&D collaborative project between three highly innovative companies and guidance from a world leader in automotive engineering. The consortium includes an end-user partner in the automotive industry.
