Clean Diesel II – Developing a New Diesel

The project concerns the design and development of a hybrid engine using bio diesel and self generating electric power unit. The Project aims to firstly, to develop an experimental computer model for diesel engines burning bio-diesel with substantially reduced emissions; secondly, to develop a test rig for a diesel engine using a range of tools as well as two original means of reducing emissions particularly Nox in diesel burning bio-diesel.

This proposed project is a continuation of an earlier successful EU non-nuclear research project known as Clean Diesel. The earlier project led to the design of several hybrid vehicles, a creative engine management system and innovative engine component systems such as variable geometry turbochargers and application of a new fuel injection system as well as a water injection system.
