Presentation Transcript

  1. Motec Solution • Changed injection time • Measured in degrees BTDC (before top dead centre) Rath

  2. Motec Interpreter • Measure RPM, voltage, air pressure, and fuel actual pulse width Rath

  3. Testing • Observed water leak while testing on dyno, coming from a fixture going into the engine • Tighten bolt on fixture Water leak, tightened connector Rath

  4. Injection Pump • Injects water directly to intake of motor • Allows engine to run cooler • Provides ability to inject more Hydrogen • Resulting in more power • Pump not working • No power being delivered Rath

  5. Power to Injection Pump • Trace wire from pump • Connect to water pump circuit board on passenger side • Circuit connected to 12V battery • Connected brown wire (pump wire) with 12V relay • Pump energized Rath

  6. Injection Pump Pump connected to 12V Rath

  7. New Objectives- Challenge X • Moved to Challenge X for 1 Week • E-85 • History • Advantages/Disadvantages • Integration into cars Rath

  8. History E-85 • E85 is an alcohol-based fuel containing 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent unleaded gasoline • EPA act of 1992 • Alternative Fuel Vehicles • Flex Fuel Vehicles Rath

  9. Advantages of E85 • Burns Cleaner – Resulting in Cleaner Emissions • Renewable Energy Source • Less Dependence on Foreign Oil • Increase in Power • Health Impact Rath

  10. Disadvantages of E85 • At present, E85 Costs more than gasoline • Driving Ability of E85 is lower • Lower per gallon energy value • Takes more to drive same distance • Refueling more often • Availability • Absorbs water diluting the ethanol • Highly flammable and explosive compared with gasoline • Safety considerations Rath

  11. Integration into Cars • Since 1992 E85 vehicles have been developed • 3.5 million E85 vehicles are anticipated to be on the road by the end of model year 2004 – NEVC (National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition) Rath

  12. Argonne National Lab Dynamometer • Texas Tech Future Truck was the first vehicle used to test hydrogen system on the dynamometer setup . Mattern

  13. Facility Specifications • Dynamometer • 4WD capable from 90- to 180-inch wheelbase • 250-hp, 14,000-lb inertia emulation • Modes: road load, speed mode, coastdown • Test Cell • Large 26,000-cfm test cell climate control with 150-ton cooling • 150-kW DC bus feed for motors and battery connections • Hydrogen fuel feed from outside storage integrated with 2-range mass measurement system • Custom data acquisition control designed for flexibility and analysis of advanced vehicles • Emissions • Gasoline, diesel, hydrogen, and natural gas • Capable of resolving emissions from SULEV vehicles • Full dilution tunnel for diesel vehicles • Fast response 2-channel THC and NOx analyzers • Filtered and dehumidified dilution air (HC < 1ppm, H2O < 10 grains/lb) http://www.transportation.anl.gov/facilities/4WD_testcell.html Mattern
