University of WisconsinMadison 2005 SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge Design Presentation Presented by: Eric Schroeder Adam Schumacher
Design Considerations:Market Survey • Survey in Fall 2003 • 75 student riders • Customers Want: • Acceleration • Agility • Historical Best Sellers • Ski-Doo Rev Platform • Polaris 600 XC SP • Top speed not given high priority Fall 2003 Survey (Experienced Riders) 75 Students Surveyed
Engine Selection Snowmobile Engine Emissions Testing • Engine emissions from 2002 and 2003 CSC and current commercial snowmobile engines • Ski-doo SDI system reduces two stroke emissions by 50%1 • Polaris Liberty engine has lowest emissions of commercially available engines * SwRI 2002 (Leda, White) 1: http://www.ski-doo.com/media/2004_SOTY.pdf
Powertrain Enhancement • Unique Hybrid Electric Design • Increases performance without need for larger engine • Motor mounts to custom student machined chaincase • Measured Performance Increase • Improves acceleration from 30-60 km/hr • Does not increase top speed of the snowmobile
Hybrid Energy Storage • 48 Volt Battery Pack • 4 Johnson Controls Inspira Batteries • 6.5 Amp-hour capacity • Sufficient for 30 seconds of peak power • Designed to assist the engine during acceleration • Makes the sled “feel more powerful” without added fuel consumption and emissions
Emissions Reduction • CSC 2004 Emissions Results • High CO and HC emissions at WOT • Found to be open loop at WOT • Single catalyst used in 2004
Emissions Reduction • Improvements for 2005 • Closed loop at WOT • Dual Catalyst System • Removed Secondary Air Injection
Emissions Reduction • 2005 Emissions Testing Results • 94% reduction from stock • 86% reduction from 2004
Sound Pass By Testing Hood Barrier Track Skirt Contributions of Components to Overall Noise
Frequency Analysis of Sound Engine 1st order Track 2nd order Track
Sound Reduction Track Engine • Two Stage Muffler System • Catalysts • Three Chamber Broadband Muffler Tunnel Stiffeners Direct Sound Barrier
Total Sound Reduction • Predict Sound Power Level of 107.5 dBA sound power based on Pass by Testing • 43% reduction (2.5 dBA) in sound power level from 2004 Bucky 800 HD
Additional Features • Electronic Throttle • Cruise Control • Traction Control During Launch • Evaporative Emissions System • Reduces HC Emissions from thermal cycling of fuel tank
Projected Cost • Only $500 higher cost than stock • Based on 5000 sleds per year • Difference between 700 and 900cc 2 stroke Polaris Snowmobiles • $900 for a 15% increase in power
