("Clean Air Power" or the "Company")
Collaboration with Queens University Belfast to develop a
Dual-Fuel process for small-cylinder diesel engines
Clean Air Power (AIM:CAP), the developer and global leader in
Dual-Fuel engine management systems for heavy-duty diesel engines,
is pleased to announce the start of a collaborative research
programme with Queens University, Belfast (QUB) to develop a
Dual-Fuel combustion process for application in small-cylinder
diesel engines used in the light-duty automotive market.
The programme is to be carried out at QUB on a single-cylinder
research engine built to replicate the state-of-the-art light-duty
diesel engines used in next-generation passenger cars and light
commercial vehicles (LCVs). The 2-3 year project is supported by
grant funding from the Department for Education and Learning (DEL)
and the Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy (CASE), run by the
UK Government body, Invest Northern Ireland. Clean Air Power will
provide equipment and technical support to QUB during the project
and has established a co-operation agreement with the university
covering rights on any intellectual property generated.
This project complements an on-going funded research programme
undertaken with Brunel University aimed at developing the next
generation of advanced Dual-Fuel combustion systems for heavy-duty
diesel engines.
In addition to the new research project, Clean Air Power today
announces that it has continued to strengthen its Dual-Fuel IP
portfolio with the recent granting of a US patent No. 8,688,351
"Modification of Engine Control Signal Timing by Emulation of
Engine Position Sensors". This technology further improves Clean
Air Power's Dual-Fuel engine control mechanism and delivers
practical advantages in terms of improved gas utilisation and
engine performance.
John Pettitt, Chief Executive of Clean Air Power said: "Whilst
the focus for Clean Air Power remains firmly on the heavy-duty
vehicle market in the short to medium-term, the project with QUB
represents a cost-effective means of extending our knowledge and IP
base into the high volume market of small-cylinder diesel engines.
Clean Air Power is continuously making improvements to our
Dual-Fuel process and this research programme, along with recent
additions to our IP portfolio, further enhances our position as a
premium developer and supplier of cutting edge Dual-Fuel
technology."
