Description - The effectiveness of jet ignition is significantly affected by the prechamber internal geometry
- Jet ignition is more sensitive to changes in the prechamber internal geometry when operating with passive prechamber fuelling
- Jet ignition with high octane gaseous fuels can help reduce heavy duty internal combustion engines dependency on diesel
Exploitation Route - Implementation of prechamber technology into heavy duty diesel vehicles for reduced emissions
- Reduced investment into prechamber technology for internal combustion engines of varying displacements
Sectors Construction,Energy,Manufacturing, including Industrial Biotechology,Transport
