The overall goal is to increase the pressure of gas injected to two-stroke engines from 30 MPa to 60 MPa.
A new gas valve train will be developed to enable the use of a higher gas pressure in two-stroke gas engines. The new gas valve train is a complex technology and each part has to be developed for a higher gas pressure and incorporated.
The project has resulted in a new gas valve train (GVT) for 60 MPa natural gas fuelled two-stroke engines. The GVT enables the two-stroke engine to combust a larger variety of gasses in order to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. In general, the project has resulted in a product expected to meet future market requirements.
Among the involved partners, new features, technologies and methods have been implemented:
