At the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show, which opened on November 23rd, Ford Motors presented the latest EcoBoost engine cutting model for the first time in China. This is the first time that Ford Motor has announced the specific technical details of the green engine in China.
Based on the traditional gasoline engine, the EcoBoost engine further adds three key technologies: direct fuel injection in the fuel tank, turbocharger and dual independent variable valve timing system, which not only ensures the power output of the helium but also optimizes the fuel economy. And reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.
Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ge Zhinuo said: "EcoBoost engine is an important cornerstone of Ford's recent sustainable development strategy, has obtained 125 patents and patent applications in the United States. 2010 EcoBoost engine will be introduced In China, the Ford EcoBoost engine is the affordable green technology for consumers compared with hybrid and pure electric vehicles,†Ge Zhinuo said.
The Ford EcoBoost engine can improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions thanks to its combustion system that can burn in a more efficient and cleaner mode. The core technology is a set of high-pressure fuel tank direct injection system, which can spray a precise amount of small amount of fuel into each cylinder with a pressure up to 200 bar. Its oil droplets are generally less than 0.02 mm, which is equivalent to the diameter of human hair. 1/5. The Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder engine's intake and exhaust camshafts are equipped with independent variable valve timing systems that optimize cylinder air flow at different speeds, particularly improving engine efficiency and performance at partial loads. On the other hand, in order to maximize the driving pleasure, Ford EcoBoost engine can achieve high torque at low speed, and has a sensitive response of the engine at high speed, thanks to advanced turbocharging technology, its built-in small Low-inertia rotors can operate at high speeds exceeding 200,000 revolutions per minute. The turbines are carefully selected to ensure that the engine obtains maximum torque at 1,500 rpm or less, while keeping the turbo lag to a minimum and accelerating quickly. The turbines are carefully matched to ensure that the EcoBoost engine remains powerful and responsive at speeds up to 5,000 rpm, so its peak power output range is wider.
Ford EcoBoost new power technology can be widely used in a variety of models from small cars to heavy trucks. It is reported that by 2012, Ford Motor will achieve an annual output of 1.3 million EcoBoost engines. By 2013, 90% of Ford's products worldwide will be equipped with EcoBoost engines.
