Mercedes-AMG's F1 Engine Exceeds 50% Efficiency! by DaimlerBen(m): 4:27am On Oct 18, 2017 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGDJqTDXgtg Ever since the FIA began tightening their grip on engine displacement & cylinder count, F1 engines have progressively shrunk, from V12s & V10s of the 90s to V8s, down to the present 1.6-litre V6s. Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains (formerly Mercedes-Ilmor), in their testing facilities in Brixworth, Northamptonshire UK, have managed to eke out over 50% thermal efficiency from their F1 engine - more useful work than waste heat. The engine is just part of a whole - the Power Unit - comprising: *Combustion engine *Turbocharger *Energy Recovery System (ERS) - Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K), formerly KERS; - Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H); - Energy store (battery); *Control electronics. To put the AMG F1 engine's efficiency into perspective, on average: Petrol passenger car ~ 20% F1 V10 ~ 30% Turbodiesel engine ~ 40+% Gas turbine ~ 60+% It is expected that this powertrain will make it into a production car - the AMG Project One. |
