Cylinder deactivation

96%
Cylinder deactivation refers to a system which reduces the fuel consumption of internal combustion engines. Its function involves some of the cylinders in the engine being temporarily stopped. combustor,hybrid Function Protection of the environmentIn nearly all petrol engines, cylinder deactivation systems enable cylinders which are not required to be shut off in partial-load operation. When the driving situation permits cylinders to be deactivated, such as when there is a…

Function Diesel engines are compression-ignition engines. In other words: The fuel injected does not require an ignition spark to ignite. The power stroke is triggered in three steps... combustor,hybrid Environmental protection Safety Depreciation FunctionProtection of the environment Close collaboration between manufacturers of glow plus and the automotive industry starts as early as the engine design stage. The result is environmentally-friendly diesel starting in two to five…

Additives

96%
Additives are substances that are added to engine oil, transmission oil and coolant to improve their properties. Additives are even added to fuels and oils in refineries. Without additives... combustor,hybrid Safety Function Environmental protection DepreciationAdditives do not benefit road safety in the way that brakes, seatbelts or airbags do, for example. However, they do make a valuable contribution to the operational reliability of a car. Special additives, for example,…

Charge-air cooler

95%
Charge-air coolers are tasked with the reducing the elevated temperature of inducted fresh air, which increases due to the compression process in turbocharged engines. combustor,hybrid Function Safety Value retention Protection of the environment The turbocharger is tasked with compressing the fresh air which is fed into the engine for the combustion process. In the process, the charge-air cooler reduces the temperature of the air which has heated up due to the compression…

Internal combustion engine

95%
An engine is a machine that generates kinetic energy from thermal, chemical or another type of energy. In hybrid vehicles, the internal combustion engine is combined with one or more electric motor(s). hybrid Environment The combustion process produces exhaust gases. These gases contain substances that may be harmful to the environment. For this reason, internal combustion engines must convert the chemical energy in the fuel into kinetic energy with optimum efficiency whilst…

What’s the difference between engine oils and why does it matter?
