Heavy
Duty Engine Development Program
CTI has partnered with Hess Microgen and Daewoo Heavy Industries
to develop an 11 Liter HCNG fueled engine for heavy-duty transportation
applications. The new engine will be built in the U.S. and
will carry a new branded name. The HCNG engine will meet the
2007 EPA emissions standards today. The engine is being optimized
for operation on the HCNG mixture, including redesigned and
cast cylinder heads that allow a quiescent flow needed for
hydrogen and HCNG operation. The engine calibration using
a Woodward Engine Control (Unit OH.1) is currently underway
at CTI facilities in Reno, Nevada. Engine certification will
begin in the fall of 2004. Two transit authorities have committed
to operate the engines beginning in 2004 in transit buses
under DOE and ICAT programs. |
