Abstract

Improvements aimed at bettering the performance of the engine by reducing energy comsumption. Revolutions per minute were patently lowered. A substantial reduction was achieved in the emissions of pollutants as well as in the heat generation in power unit. This also allows reduction of the cylinder capacity of the combustion engine. All of these improvements are based in the engine assembly with an electrically powered compressor. An interesting way to reduce comsumption is through a novel electric application in a standard vehicle. The electrical integration proposed consists of a system applied to the intake of a combustion engine. The electric system will be sufficient to compress and cool the intake mix, so that we achieve our objetives: the pressure and cold, in order to obtain different degrees of performance optimisation. This allows the use electric energy from recharging, or from thermoelectric recovery generator in combustion vehicles, reducing the use of the alternator. If we use the compressor and cooler fully, consuming 100% of usuable electric energy, we will use very little fuel in a combustion engine. This kind of use is very recommendable in city traffic, and at the same time that this system is a type of use that allows auto-recharging in long distances.
