Knowing More About Fuel Saving Technology In Motor Vehicles

By Leonor Rivera


Environmental conservation has taken center stage in the world today. Many policies are being implemented to save Mother Nature from depletion as a result of emission of harmful gases and wastes. The transport industry has been a big contributor to this depletion and changes in weather patterns. This has facilitated the employment of fuel saving technology as a minimization measure.

The combustion of air and petrol in engines brings about motion and exhausts. With most vehicles using this resource, this mechanism was established as a way of reducing the amount of fuel used by any particular vehicle. When this is kept in check, the end results are reductions in exhausts. Recent engines are assembled directly using this technique whereas the earlier ones have to be fitted with the relevant devices to slash on this consumption.

The essence of this article is to analyze some of these technologies used within the engines. The first one is variable valve timing and lift. Valves control the flow of air and petrol into the engine and exhausts out of it. This is done on particular setting mechanisms. This system aims at altering these settings to some extend so as to control entry and outflow thus enabling a saving of five percent.

Other engines have deactivation technique of the cylinders. These are apparatus used for combustion of air and fuel. The ones that are not being used at that moment are therefore disabled for some time. As of such, the possibility of reducing engine size from eight or six to four or three without affecting performance is an achievable reality. Beyond this, performance of the vehicle will be hindered.

Others make use of turbo and super charging. These two are usable altogether. They are merely valves to allow in pressed air into the cylinders of an engine. Their running is by exhaust and engine respectively. When more pressed air is permitted in, there is generation of more power to navigate the vehicle. This mechanism makes it possible to develop vehicles with small engines but high energy.

With a combination of the two items mentioned in the above paragraph, direct petroleum injection enables gas to be admitted directly into the cylinder for accurate timing and shaping of the gas mist. The results are higher firmness fractions, efficient intake of gas and increased performance basing on low consumptions. This is directly opposite to the initial engines in operation.

The other component is that of integrated starters and generators. These ones work on a very simple basis. They switch off the vehicle as it comes to a stop and automatically turn them on the moment the accelerator is squeezed. There will be no petroleum wastage on idling. On the brake system, they transfer the lost motorized energy into electrical one which ends up being accumulated in the battery.

The use of fuel saving technology, once employed, creates significant saves on gas intake regardless of the capacity of the automobile. The owners and motorists end up saving a lot on gas and maintenance. These reductions are highly substantial amounting to almost half of the total expenses incurred without these mechanisms in place.
