Compressed Air as Fuel? 45 MJ/100km η2= 44% η4= 80% Ptank=300 bar Ttank= 300 K η1= 90% η3= 81% Necessary energy in air tank 70 MJ, which corresponds to 320 kg air mass and 200 kg tank mass (kevlar composite) and 925 l tank volume. Compare that to BEV: plug-to-wheel efficiency of ηtot= 0.75 and 150 kg battery mass (Li-ion batteries with 100 Wh/kg useful energy density).
Pneumatic Hybrid Powertrains? • Internal combustion engine as range extender: too many components and poor fuel economy • Hybrid pneumatic engine: • 1 main energy supply • 1 energy buffer • 1 energy conversion device
Directly vs. Indirectly Connected Air Tank Indirectly Connected Air Tank: + Only limited changes in valve actuation system needed • No major cylinder head changes • Mode changes difficult/restricted • Reduced actual pumping compression ratio Directly Connected Air Tank • Add charge valve actuation to system • Cylinder head redesign • Mode changes easy • Pumping compression ratio not compromised Adapted from: A. Fazeli, A. Khajepour, C. Devaud, and N. Lashgarian Azad. A new air hybrid engine using throttle control. SAE Paper 2009-01-1319

The Hybrid Pneumatic Engine (HPE) Idea Previous work by Herrera (1998), Schechter (1999), and Higelin (2001) Air tank as energy buffer Recuperation and pneumatic driving Pneumatic modes are 2-stroke based, all valves variable
Comparison Valve Actuation Modes 2-stroke modes require variable actuation for all valves 4-stroke concept is cheaper and less complex IV – Intake Valve EV – Exhaust Valve CV – Charge Valve – ETH Modes
Additional Engine Modes Pump mode: throttle always open Pneumatic motor mode: closes throttle for higher torque Supercharged mode: air injection at start of compression - Recharge mode: 2 cylinders conventional, 2 cylinders pump a) b) c)
Simulation Vehicle & Engine Parameters • Base vehicle weight 1450 kg, engine weight: 67kg/l • Rated power: 100kW for all engines, baseline is 2.0l NA gasoline engine • Auxiliaries consume 400 W • Gearbox: manual, 5-speed, η=93% • Mid-size vehicle, • Tank volume 30 liters • Effect of reduced compression ratio on engine efficiencyconsidered • Variable valve actuation energy accounted for according to number of used EHVS.
Engine Scaling • Account for reduced internal efficiency when reducing the compression ratio due to supercharging • Values obtained using engine process simulation
Variable Valve Actuation Energy • Energy demand for EHVS is added to demanded torque • Hydraulic pump efficiency of ηHyd=0.6 assumed • zi is the number of variably actuated valves per 2 revolutions
Simulations (1): Fuel Economy MVEG-95, 1550 kg vehicle
QSS & Dynamic Programming • Additional degree of freedom, additional state: Internal energy of air tank • Use quasi-static simulation (QSS) and engine mode maps and reduce to • Dynamic Programming: • One state: tank pressure • One input: engine mode choice • Disturbance: drive cycle • Cost: fuel consumed
Simulations (3): Overcoming the Turbo-lag Simulation for 1500 kg vehicle in 4th gear with 0.75 liter engine
The ETH DSC HPE Test Engine Main Ideas • Strong downsizing to improve fuel economy • Connect pressurized air tank directly to engine cylinders: enables excellent driveability • PFI/stoich gasoline engine • Asymmetric turbo charger Engine Type Additional Hardware: • Variable valve actuation system for CV only • Air tank (cold tank strategy)
Electro-Hydraulic Valve Actuation System • EHVS provides fully variable valve actuation for the CV: opening closing 15.09.2014 K. Mischker and D. Denger.

Engine Controls:Vehicle Emulation Control Architecture • Dynamometer controls torque (behaves like a vehicle in drive cycle) • Engine controls speed • Supervisory control determines engine mode f(pT)
Measurements (2): The Supercharged Mode Test at constant intake pressure (550 mbar)
Measurement (3): Overcoming the Turbolag N = 2000 rpm
Measurements (4): Rapid Pneumatic Start pT = 10 bar • Rapid engine start enables start/stop operation and thus the elimination of idling. • Pneumatic engine start < 350ms for pT= 10 bar.
Optimization Results Pneumatic Modes • Pneumatic motor mode: only for low engine speeds • Pump mode: operating area strongly limited
Remark: Recuperation using Alternator Recuperation: pumping is limited by four-stroke mode In the MVEG-95 ~500 kJ cannot be recuperated by pumping air in braking phases Excess energy can be used for: EHVS actuation: 104 kJ needed to drive MVEG-95 (assuming 60% efficiency for the alternator & 60% efficiency for an electric hydraulic pump) Electric auxiliaries need 300 W at the crankshaft for 1200 s, i.e., 360 kJ are needed for the drive cycle Fuel consumption can be further reduced
Fuel Consumption Measurement Results • Engines of approximately same maximum power are compared • Comparison to NA SI engines in series production cars Measured Fuel Consumption Reduction (MVEG-95)

Reproduceability of Measurements Mean measured fuel consumption (g) Deviations from mean values (exemplary, 3 measurements per cycle)
Pneumatic Modes Control • Pneumatic Pump Mode: • Feedforward only • Braking torque is limited a priori if too high • Pneumatic Motor Mode: • Throttle feedforward only • Feedback uses as ΔMV2O as control signal
Supervisory Control – Dynamic Programming • 3 states: tank pressure, old engine mode, and old gear • 2 inputs: engine mode, gear switching • allows engine start & gear switching penalty • For the MVEG-95, gears are pre-defined, so 2 states and 1 input results.
