Mazda's Breakthrough Makes Sparkless Petrol Engine As Efficient As Diesel Engine by obafemee80(m): 12:04am On Sep 06, 2017 |
[img]http:///a/img923/5540/9aMsYD.jpg[/img] The automobile industry is going to witness yet another revolution,this time from Mazda Motor Corp which is ready to introduce a breakthrough engine technology which rivals have been trying to develop for the past few decades. The automaker will be the first company to commercialize the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition(HCCI) engines called SkyActiv-X,which is 20 percent to 30 percent more efficient than the current SkyActiv-G,and up to 45% more than Mazda's 2008 petrol engine and have surpassed the likes of General Motors,Daimler AG etc Current petrol engines rely on a spark plug to ignite their air-fuel mix. The SkyActiv-X will ignite the air-fuel mix spark-free through compression,like a diesel engine. This,according to the Japanese manufacturer,combines the advantages of petrol and diesel engines to achieve outstanding environmental and power performance How HCCI Works [img]http:///a/img924/8554/MGBI1U.jpg[/img] Mazda’s homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) engine ignites gasoline through compression,just like diesel. HCCI injects fuel(petrol)during the intake stroke.However,rather than using an electric discharge (spark plug) to ignite a portion of the mixture,HCCI raises density and temperature by compression until the entire mixture reacts spontaneously. A spark plug is still needed to ignite the fuel at certain RPMs,and juggling the two combustion methods is a complicated puzzle that Mazda claims it has solved. Unlike diesel engines,and unlike others who attempted a gasoline-fueled diesel,Mazda decided to use a spark plug in each cylinder under some conditions,mostly when the engine is cold at startup. It calls this spark controlled compression ignition (SCCI) Mazda says the brief period of changeover from spark to compression ignition was tuned to be seamless. The SkyActiv-X engine will be fitted with a supercharger and will produce 10 percent to 30 percent more torque that current (SkyActiv-G) engine. HCCI makes possible a super lean burn mode that raises engine efficiency 20 to 30 percent over the current petrol engine,is 35 percent to 45 percent more economical than Mazda’s 2008 petrol engine,and equals or exceeds the diesel engine in fuel efficiency. https://autojosh.com/mazdas-breakthrough-makes-spark-less-petrol-engine-efficient-diesel-engines/ Credits: extremetech.com Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 4 Likes |

i see a lot of detonation issues with this design. the knock sensors must be of a very novel design to handle that. Good luck with using regular octane with such engine. 4 Likes |

Hmmm really interesting. Will it be making that awful sound like Diesel? Plus the weight of the Cylinders will be very much that also will reduce efficiency 1 Like |

This article shows they (mazda) are confused. Why bring out the homogeneous charged compress technology first and Later come up with the spark plug tech. I pity who ever buys this in Naija with our low octane rating fuel 1 Like |

Coming late...I think. Truth is the decision has been made to shift control of global economics from the Arabs by moving from crude oil derivatives. No kind of innovations in petrol engines can change that. Nuclear and coal power, combined with renewables, will produce more than enough electricity to drive the next civilisation. 1 Like |

takenadoh: Care to explain how you determined that the weight of the 'cylinders' would be much and how that weight would reduce efficiency? 1 Like |
Re: Mazda's Breakthrough Makes Sparkless Petrol Engine As Efficient As Diesel Engine by takenadoh: 8:53am On Sep 07, 2017 |
Denn: Well it's the same with Diesel engines, inorder to withstand such high pressure that will cause self ignition the walls of the cylinders must be pretty thick, basically . 2. If you carry 3 Agbani Daregos i n your Picanto from Ore to Lagos and you carry 3 Yokozuna for the same journey, you'll agree with me that you car will be doing more work in the second case therefore burning more fuel or petrol. It's just simple logic |
Re: Mazda's Breakthrough Makes Sparkless Petrol Engine As Efficient As Diesel Engine by Denn(m): 8:57am On Sep 07, 2017 |
mayor2013: First, the Nigerian used car market does not make a dot on the planning and research process of vehicle manufacturers. Second, the spark plugs are only used during Cold starts and at certain RPMs. Current ECUs can manage secondary air pumps, I don't think an ECU designed in 2017 wouldn't be able to know when there is a need for spark or not. As regards octane, I even think this car would work better with a lower octane fuel. I can share my theory if you want. Cheers 1 Like |

They better start working on electric vehicles before they are left behind. The push now is towards all electric. I don't see them selling much cars with this technology. |
Re: Mazda's Breakthrough Makes Sparkless Petrol Engine As Efficient As Diesel Engine by Denn(m): 9:59am On Sep 07, 2017 |
takenadoh: In summary, are you saying diesel engines are not efficient due to their cylinder weights? |
