Fuel Air Mixing Engineering (FAME)

为了改善环境性能，世界各地对车辆的排放控制越来越严格。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，更严格的排放限制将于2014年实施（欧六）。性能要求的这一步变化加上其他法规的变化，提出了开发排放控制技术的明确商业需求。二氧化碳减排是汽车市场的关键驱动力，这一市场面临着减少二氧化碳排放和在燃料成本不断上升的情况下为客户提供更低的燃料消耗的双重要求。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介绍了预混合进气汽油内燃机（RHK 1）预燃烧装置的使用。该装置旨在通过在燃油喷射到气缸之前改善空气/燃油混合物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合作伙伴之一在早期可行性研究中试用的概念，以提高已经获得的减排量，并帮助为市场做好技术准备。FAME是一个为期2年的应用研发合作项目，由三家高度创新的公司和一家世界领先的汽车工程公司指导。该联盟包括汽车行业的最终用户合作伙伴。

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.
