Results
The topic of fuel is of great interest in the FVV.
Methane, ethanol, biodiesel, additives and poor quality fuels are
particularly relevant.
In the next 5 years, results are needed.
All applications / engine types will be considered.
The following properties of the fuels are the focus:
Fuel quality, fluctuation, margin
Fuel key figures
Emission behavior
Material compatibility
System sensitivity (Components affected by new fuels)

Example 2: „Future Fuels SI Engines“
Presentation of FVV e.V., Sao Paulo, Brasil, 2012-10-03/04
Determination of the maximum compression ratio increase of ethanol-
gasoline fuel blends in comparison to a conventional RON95 fuel.
Optical investigation of spray penetration and evaporation in a high pressure
chamber.
Experimental investigations using a turbocharged direct injection research
engine.
Part load testing was carried out to determine efficiency benefits.
Climate chamber testing was used to test low temperature starts.
E20 fuel evaporation is similar, sometimes better than conventional fuel
The higher knock resistance enables an increased compression ratio
E85 evaporates worse under all investigated boundary conditions.

Example 3: „Fatigue in corrosive fuels“
Presentation of FVV e.V., Sao Paulo, Brasil, 2012-10-03/04
High pressure
section
Worldwide a variety of alternative fuels are increasingly used.
Fatigue in corrosive surroundings (e.g. ethanol fuel) leads to a number of
phenomena which at present are cleared only insufficiently.
Corrosion fatigue at simultaneous cyclical loads leads to a reduction of the
component strength.
Primary objective of the project is the
development of safe fatigue assessment
methods for highly loaded components
(fuel injection system) in corrosive media.
Challenges (for example)
Determination of the influence of the
corrosive media on the dynamic strength
Extrapolation of S-N(Wöhler)-curve to
the Very-High-Cycle-Fatigue (VHCF)
area beyond 1E7 load cycles

FVV – Cooperation with Brazil
The challenges for the combustion engine industry are worldwide the same
Brazil is one of the major markets for FVV-member companies
Most of them are represented in Brazil
Excellent research capabilities in Brazil
Strong relations in RTD-cooperation between Brazil and Germany
This cooperation is strongly supported by both governments
Time seems to be right to cooperate
FVV – the power of joint research
