An Intake Charge Cooling System for Application to Diesel, Gasoline and Natural Gas Engines 910420

Low intake manifold temperature, well below ambient, has many applications in internal combustion engines. In diesel engines, it can reduce NO_x to a level of 2.0 g/hp-hr or below, going beyond the 1994 heavy duty diesel engine emissions standards. In gasoline engines, it can allow high compression ratio, turbocharged operation without end gas knock. This will permit ready conversion of some heavy duty diesel engines to gasoline operation at increased power density and lower emissions. In natural gas engines, it will allow base diesel engine to be converted to stoichiometric natural gas operation without increasing thermal loads. A three way catalyst can then be used to reduce emissions.
