  12. 12. Background
  13. 13. Background - Observations Aerospace The air-cooled-rotor (ACR) type of Wankel engine is now well established for powering military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These engines have achieved over 2 million hours of in-service operation. This generally high-rpm high-load UAV application exploits all the best characteristics of the rotary. The engines have extremely high power-to-weight ratio, low vibration, high reliability, and reasonably good specific fuel consumption (sfc). Automotive One of the most promising types of future electric vehicle is the Series Hybrid which has a modest weight of batteries on board, offering a battery-only limited range. This meets the needs of 80% of typical daily car usage without use of any gasoline. The batteries are recharged overnight from the mains supply. During longer journeys, as the batteries become partially depleted, an on-board engine-generator (genset) provides electrical power such that the vehicle has a normal range limited only by the capacity of the fuel tank. In this duty the engine operates at high rpm and high load; or is switched off. All parameters which affect sfc are optimised without compromise for this single running condition. Hence the sfc is much lower than the average sfc of conventional mechanical drive vehicles using engines which have to operate over the full load-speed spectrum. For most journeys the genset is unused. (It is a dead weight) It is important therefore that its weight is very low. Also, because the change from off to high power may occur when the vehicle is moving quite slowly in almost total silence under battery power alone, it is essential that when the engine starts it is extremely quiet and free of vibration.
  14. 14. Background - Opportunity AIE believe the hybrid vehicle application is ideal for a single-rotor Wankel engine. Even more than in UAVs, it fully exploits the strengths of the rotary engine and avoids the engine ever having to operate in the difficult low load / low speed areas where rotarys sfc is inferior to that of reciprocating engines. A high-speed rotary engine genset would weigh less than 40% of a unit using a reciprocating engine, which for NVH reasons must run at lower speed. To utilise a Wankel rotary engine in an automotive application, though some of the less desirable characteristics of the engine need to be mitigated or eliminated: Low Engine Life High Oil Consumption High Exhaust Energy and Emissions Poor Thermal Stability AIE has developed 2 key technologies that address these characteristics without removing the engines core advantages SPARCS - Pressurised Gas Rotor Cooling System CREEV - Exhaust Expander Unit
  15. 15. Technology
  16. 16. SPARCS Self-Pressurising Air Rotor Cooling System Utilises self pressuring blow by gases from the combustion process which have escaped into the interior of the rotor. Gas is drawn through the rotor circulated by an internal fan, absorbing heat before being forced though an integrated heat exchanger within the engine housing. Heat exchanger then rejects heat to the main liquid cooling system through the engine housing. The higher density of the pressurised gas mixture enables higher levels of heat removal from the engines rotor. CREEV Compound Rotary Engine for Electric Vehicles Modified Wankel geometry exhaust expander unit, single lobed housing paired with a dual flanked rotor. Extends engine expansion stroke and allows recovery of waste exhaust energy while reducing HC, heat and noise emissions.

  18. 18. Background Rotor Cooling OCR vs ACR The key difference in the design of rotary engines for UAVs and all Wankel rotaries designed for automotive use, such as the NSU Ro 80 and the Mazda RX 7 / 8, relates to the method used for cooling the rotor. The UAV type use air (designated ACR = air cooled rotor), the latter use oil (OCR). The ACR system was originally conceived by NSU in the early 1960s. For many years it was considered to be only suitable for low-cost low-specific-power engines as satisfactory for some industrial applications. Many engineers working on the OCR Wankel considered the ACR type to be little more than a toy. Nevertheless, NSU did demonstrate a lower SFC with their 215 cc ACR engine than with any of their OCR types (resulting from lower friction and heated induction air) At the time, though, it was not known how to achieve a high bmep with the ACR type engine. (Indeed, it was considered that any significant increase would be impossible because of overheating of the rolling- element rotor bearing). In the late 1960s, the power output of a typical 300cc ACR engine as manufactured by Fichtel & Sachs was about 20 bhp. (Note that a 300cc Wankel is equivalent to a 600cc 4-stroke engine) During the period 1970 to 2000, this same size engine was progressively developed in the UK to give 60 bhp, with the sfc reduced by 30% relative to the F&S versions. The application was initially as a power unit for motorcycles and then from 1985, for UAVs. Specific power output and specific fuel consumption (sfc) of ACR engines are now superior to the OCR type.
  19. 19. Background Rotor Cooling OCR vs ACR OCR type engines generally require twin axially-spring-loaded oil scraper rings to be fitted in each side of the rotor in order to prevent oil leakage into the working chambers. The springs typically have a high axial load of around 50kg. Hence there is considerable mechanical friction loss as these sealing rings orbit and rotate relative to the engine side plates. There is also some further energy loss due to the cocktail shaker effect of oil in the partially filled rotor. The sealing rings also require radial space between the OD of the rotor ring gear and the inside edge of the rotor side gas seals. Hence, for a given size of rotor, the PCD of the rotor gear has to be smaller; and as a result the shaft eccentricity, e, (= throw of the shaft) which, from the basic geometry, has the precise value of 1/6 the PCD of the rotor ring gear, is also limited to a smaller value. The swept volume (V) of the engine is directly proportional to e, via the formula: V = 33 e R B where R = rotor radius, and B = rotor axial width. The overall result is that the OCR type engine, for a given swept volume, is physically bigger and heavier than the ACR type. The important R/e value (designated K ratio ) of an OCR rotary engine is limited to a minimum value of about 6.7 / 7.0. The ACR engine, which has no oil scraper rings, can use a K ratio of 6.0 .
  20. 20. Background General ACR Advantages (summary) The ACR type has the following advantages relative to the conventional Wankel engine with OCR : Much lower friction losses : More compact combustion chamber (lower S/V ratio , lower heat loss): Increased forced air movement around TDC / faster combustion lower weight ( via smaller diameter rotor and main housings) Fewer components and hence lower cost Larger diameter and more rigid eccentric shaft as allowed by the larger diameter stationary gear (an important advantage for mounting a bearing-less cantilevered generator rotor) Lower stressed stationary gear Lower cranking torque when starting, particularly at low temps (ACR has all rolling element bearings) More precise balancing (it is difficult for the OCR to have a consistent volume of oil inside the rotor under all conditions); allowing the ACR to generally use hard mounting which can save space and weight Historically, of course, the rotor cooling quality of the ACR was not as good as the OCR which has always been the main reason for the latter to receive so much more attention.
  21. 21. SPARCS Concept The SPARCS system introduces a new and improved approach to the cooling of an air-cooled rotor engine. As in all internal combustion engines there is a degree of blow-by past the combustion seals. In a piston engine it is combustion gas that enters the crankcase before being discharged through a crankcase ventilation system. It is desirable to keep pressure in the crankcase low since it acts on the bottom of the piston, and reduces engine BMEP. In the rotary engine, crankcase pressure acts on all of the internal faces of the rotor and therefore does not affect engine BMEP. SPARCS takes advantage of this by sealing the crankcase and allowing pressure to build. The high pressure results in densification of the rotor air and this, in turn, improves the heat transfer properties of the air, Cp. The heat transfer coefficient is increased in proportion to the density of the medium, so that if pressure is increased by a factor of three, then Cp goes up by a factor of 3^0.8, or 2.4 . SPARCS uses a closed circuit rotor cooling system which includes an integrated cooling heat exchanger and an air circulating fan. The air within the circuit is heated by the rotor, and then circulated through the internal heat exchanger by the circulating fan. The rotor air is then cooled within the heat exchanger before being returned to the rotor where it is heated again, continuing the circuit. The application of the SPARCS is unique to the Wankel engine. In a reciprocating engine the pressurized crankcase would impart a force on the back side of the piston and any pressure would directly subtract from the engine BMEP, with the attendant loss in performance. In the Wankel engine this force is balanced about the center of the rotor, and does not affect engine BMEP
  22. 22. SPARCS - Self-Pressurising Air Rotor Cooling System SPARCS system showing coolant gas flow
  23. 23. SPARCS - Major Advantages 1. Lower Temperature / Longer Life The pressurisation of the cooling gas will enable the rotor temperature to be very considerably lowered; and then be similar to that in the OCR type rotary engine. Larger-capacity engines will now be able to use the advantageous ACR system. And turbocharged or supercharged engines will be practical for high altitude UAVs and light aircraft without rotor overheating. Reducing the temperature also increases engine bearing life and therefore the overall life of the engine. 2. Better Lubrication / Lower Oil Consumption The metered oil will be recirculated many times inside the rotor. Lubrication of all the rotor internal components will be excellent and oil usage low (comparable to a 4-stroke, but without any oil changes / servicing being required) The oil can eventually only escape past the side gas seals of the engine (in opposite direction to the pressurising gas) where it will migrate over the side plate surfaces to the trochoid surface and then lubricate the apex seals before being consumed in the exhaust. The supply of oil into the working chamber via the side seal and corner bolt leakage paths makes a positive contribution to the gas sealing quality and is ideal for the Wankel engine; and superior to any previous arrangement. 3. Automatic Rotor Temperature Regulation / Better Thermal Stability There will be automatic regulation of the rotor temperature. At lower bmep, when heat rejection is lower, the cooling fluid pressurisation is lowered and reduced cooling will then occur. (Note that high rotor flank temperatures are advantageous for SFC particularly at light load).
  24. 24. CREEV Technologies
  25. 25. Background Challenge The reciprocating engine industry has been searching for 125 years for a compact and mechanically-efficient way to extend the expansion stroke of the Otto cycle to a value much higher than the compression stroke in order to recover energy that otherwise goes to waste. The diagram below illustrates the amount of energy that potentially can be recovered. P-V diagram without and with additional expansion
  26. 26. CREEV - Concept The new concept for the rotary engine to recover some of this wasted expansion energy uses exactly the same principle as was used in compound steam engines. A separate cylinder is added, this item being specifically designed to handle larger volumes of gas at a lower pressure than the main cylinder. There are six primary requirements for this additional expansion cylinder:- it must have extremely low mechanical friction losses it must be compact despite having a large swept volume it must be capable of being mounted very close to the main cylinder the phasing and duration of its expansion stroke must meet certain requirements the clearance volume at its TDC (start of gas transfer) must be very small its drive shaft should go the same speed as the main engine (no gears are wanted) The device that meets all the listed requirements is the little-known 1-2 type trochoidal machine, also from the Wankel family. The 1-2 designation means a one-lobed housing with a two-cornered rotor; it is also the ratio of the diameter of stationary gear to rotor gear. (The engine is known as a 2-3 type)
  27. 27. CREEV Transfer between Rotors 294cc engine 800cc expander Expansion ratio 22.3 to 1
  28. 28. CREEV - Major Advantages 1. Increase in power output and in thermal efficiency If the expander unit had an adiabatic expansion efficiency of 100%, then the power output of the compound assembly would be increased by about 30% - - and the sfc reduced accordingly. In practice, the expander does have some mechanical friction and heat losses ; and there is some small energy loss (due to unrestricted expansion and flow pressure loss) in the gas transfer between the two chambers. Therefore, net power gain will be about 20%. 2. Reduction of Noise and heat The exhaust noise of a single-rotor, peripherally-ported Wankel engine at high rpm is extremely high, due to the sudden opening of the exhaust port and the abrupt release of high pressure gas. With the additional expander unit, the exhaust gasses will be expanded down to atmospheric pressure (or very near) before the port opens. Gas temperature will have been reduced from 950 C to 600 C or thereabouts. 3. Reduction of Emissions At low RPM and part-throttle, the basic rotary engine has higher emissions of HC than a reciprocating engine; whereas CO emissions are similar, and NOx are lower. However, when operated at high load and high rpm and with excess air, the HC emissions are not particularly high. The addition of the separate expander unit can be expected to give a further significant reduction in HC emissions. The hot exhaust gasses (around 950C) from the engine will transfer to the expander unit in a turbulent manner with unconsumed oxygen present. The expander chamber will then act as an exhaust reactor.

  211. 211. Opposed Stepped Piston Engine (OSPE) Most Cost Effective Engine for Multiple Applications
  212. 212. OSPE 227 OSPE Features & USPs 1, 2 & 4 cylinder 2-stroke stepped pistons, SI & CI versions Double diameter piston or under piston does pumping ~ 20-30% cost saving vs same power, fuel economy & emission 4-stroke. ~ 10-15% weight saving vs same power, fuel economy & emission 4-stroke. Improved NVH: ~90% Reduced shaking forces vs L4 4-stroke
  213. 213. OSPE 228 Background: Opposed Piston Engine Renaissance 2-stroke Opposed Piston Engines (OPE) are re-emerging due to their cost/benefit, simplicity vs the 4-stroke and lower emission capability using 4-stroke aftertreatment systems. Recent development examples have shown leading edge emission, fuel economy, package, power density & oil consumption capability. NA SI OPs also have potential for >36% brake efficiency at the tightest emission levels due to inherent features of reduced heat loss, high rate of expansion, and lower friction versus 4- stroke. Current OP investigations cover 2 wheelers, automotive, outboard marine, medium speed, military and aviation
  214. 214. OSPE 229 Rationale for 2-stroke Re-think 4-stroke in-cylinder and after-treatment emission technologies applicable to 2-stroke e.g. Port injection FIE, 3 way catalyst. Solutions available for either cylinder bore oil control or zero oil to bore , e.g. stepped piston, and/or labyrinth sealing for constant speed/load operation. OP has ability for 1:1 scavenging/swept volume with good performance, bsfc and =1 exhaust. Rectilinear Drive System enables non-contacting piston & labyrinth sealing.

Design for Manufacture Trial manufacture of integrated SRM Prove design for manufacture & assembly to develop a capability in the UK of 20,000 units pa by 2017 using Productiv in conjunction with Tata Steel Demonstrate whole vehicle concept to major vehicle manufacturers and fleet users as a fully working and viable proposal
  253. 253. Demonstrator Vehicle The Vauxhall Adam has been chosen as the base vehicle for the project because it is fitted with the latest main stream powertrain which includes: Lightweight compact state of the art 1.0 litre turbocharged 3 cylinder in line engine. Light weight 6 speed manual gearbox
  254. 254. Switched Reluctance Motor The SRM will be mounted above the gearbox and will drive the input shaft of the gearbox via a toothed belt. This layout has several advantages: The SRM is relatively easy to package. The belt drive will help to reduce any torque ripple present in the SRM. The belt drive allows the introduction of a gearing ratio between the SRM and the gearbox. The SRM will be mounted high in the engine bay making installation quick and easy with minimal modification.
  255. 255. SRM Model Installation in Adam Engine Bay
  256. 256. Vehicle Architecture continued 4. Batteries Originally it was planned to fit a combination of 6 individual power & energy batteries in the engine bay Examination of the Vauxhall Adam engine bay has confirmed that there was insufficient room for the fitment of 6 large batteries In addition there is a safety concern in a frontal impact with a very densely packed battery rich engine bay. Further examination of the Adam revealed a large under utilised space behind the rear axle and below the boot floor. This space lends itself to the fitment of a single bespoke tablet shaped battery pack. As a result a bespoke battery pack will be fitted under the boot floor.
