TNO Powertrains is presenting at the WCX18 SAE World Congress Experience

TNO as regular participant at the SAE, with numerous high level publications, will attend here and invites you to join:

1) our sessions, in which TNO will present the following papers

• On Tuesday, April 10, 2:00 PM, (Session Code: PFL410)
  Towards ultra-low NOx emissions within GHG phase 2 constraints: main challenges and technology directions Exhaust Emissions Control - New Developments (Part 2 of 2).
  TNO presents an overview of the main challenges and key aspects regarding meeting ultra-low NOx requirements within the constraints on CO2 and N2O set by GHG phase 2 regulations. The study is based on simulation results from validated control-oriented models of current and future engine and aftertreatment technologies.
  Preview and paper download.
• On Tuesday, April 10, 2:00 PM, (Session Code: PFL260)
  Variable valve actuation strategies for better efficiency, load range, and thermal management in an RCCI engine Dual Fuel Combustion (Part 2 of 4).
  TNO presents three VVA measures to increase load range, improve combustion efficiency, and perform thermal management for a Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition concept. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the potential of these VVA measures for a heavy-duty engine running on natural gas and diesel.

• On Wednesday, April 11, 9:00 AM (Session Code: PFL260)
  Towards model-based control of RCCI-CDF mode-switching in dual fuel engines Dual Fuel Combustion (Part 3 of 4).
  TNO presents a model-based development approach for a dual-fuel mode-switching controller. Simulation results demonstrate the potential of this controller for a heavy-duty engine running on natural gas and diesel. It is shown that it is possible to switch between RCCI and CDF while maintaining the same set-points.
