Conclusion

44SAE 2008-32-0059

JSAE 20084759

Conclusion

It was demonstrated that with the introduced injection strategy the reduction of untreated HC emissions is ~ 40%

The reduction of scavenge losses lead to a ~ 25% lower fuel consumption

Very lean exhaust gas due to the stratification of the scavenge process increase the conversion ratio of HC and CO

The increased exhaust gas temperature shortens the cat light-off time leading to reduced cold start emissions

There is no need for specific technology development (standard two-stroke engine with standard injection components) therefore the development risk is comparatively low

Focusing costs and market acceptance, this strategy is a valuable alternative to existing DI-systems
