the exhaust near the passenger door can let the gas get inside the van… But in reality, the doors and windows are always closed when we use our heater; remember it’s cold outside 😉 So we don’t get anything inside the van. Using the door to enter/exit is not problematic either...
The most efficient engines in the world, the giant 100,000+ hp oil-burners in cargo ships, achieve up to 55% efficiency. And gas engines have come a long way too; in fact automotive gas engines have improved their efficiency in the past few decades more than diesels. W...
The Chevy Express Cargo van is the cheapest diesel sold today and the heavy-duty Ram is the king of towing. By John Pearley HuffmanUpdated: Mar 6, 2021 Save Article Car and Driver The core advantage of diesel engines is that they're compression ignition engines and rely on the mechanical...
GDI: higher injection pressure, better atomization, more accurate oil and gas mixture control, low fuel consumption and high liter power. Mixed-flow low-inertia turbocharger: fast response, good boosting effect, continuous strong power output. ...
Currently, the tightening of regulations concerning the reduction of emission of toxic compounds in engine exhaust, and a decrease of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are the main factors controlling the direction of automotive construction development [25,32,33]. In recent years, ...
The following components forming the schematic diagram of the WHR cycle are shown in Figure 1: 1—condenser; 2—outboard seawater discharge; 3—heat exchanger of the scavenge air circuit; 4—feed pump; 5—seawater intake; 6—turbine; 7—exhaust gas heat source; 8—seawater pump; 9—secondary...
In a recent study, Chu-Van et al. [108] investigated the particle size and number of two large cargo ships equipped with low-speed marine engines and fueled with similar HFO. It was found that the particle size distribution was quite different for the two ships. In addition, there was a...

Disadvantages High greenhouse gas emissions Source of local air pollution (high tailpipe emissions). High refueling and maintenance cost. Low energy efficiency. Infrastructure investment required. Higher vehicle cost than diesel. Long recharging time. Limited range. Limited cargo weight and size due to...
