For technical aspects, this is what I remember:
- The compression ratio increases inversely proportional to the demand for torque / power. A diet low is higher then. Logic: the auto ignition risks are greater with high T ° thus load.
- It concerns, for now, apparently the gasoline engine (but I do not see pkoi this would not be applicable to diesel)
- Optimize the use of multiple fuels (see multifuel engines army compression ratio ADJUSTABLE stopped without variable operating)
- Each cylinder can have a different compression! This is the Variable Compression Ratio Intelligent
- I am surprised by the small size (height) of the pistons that recalled those of competition or Formula 1
- Development cost: 20 million euros = anything for a manufacturer taking into account performance (if those announced are held). The comun rail diesel has cost more than a billion ...
- It would be consistent with a water doping
- Iso performance at cost price (MCE5 4L against V6): 500 - 800 = - € 300!
- Only 1500 hours of bench tests: a little weakling ... I find particularly tired right?
- French 100% (ca worth saying !!)
Question:
how is defined and regulated optimal compression? With a knock sensor (old and not accurate) or a computer (?)? This seems so mechanical 100%?
I say: congratulations! All good this MCE5 (as it means what in fact MCE 5?) !! But what about marketing? Industrialization seemed to have been already reflected and partnership with PSA signed so ... what's missing?
MCE5 then he will be the killer hybrid or electric cars? Maybe so, yes !!! Carlos was still planted
