昆騰燃料系統(tǒng)技術(shù)全球公司,天然氣存儲系統(tǒng),集成和車輛系統(tǒng)技術(shù)的開發(fā)和生產(chǎn)商,已被通知的加州能源委員會的(CEC)公共權(quán)益能源研究計劃,昆騰的建議響應計劃機會通知通過題為“ 先進的天然氣發(fā)動機的研究與發(fā)展3類7類應用已被推薦為100萬美元的補助金。
南加州天然氣還承諾額外的資金,以幫助該項目符合其技術(shù)目標。
贈款將用于資助開發(fā)和驗證一種低成本,多端口燃油注入天然氣燃料系統(tǒng)和發(fā)動機與先進的控制系統(tǒng),專為3類7類的應用,如公交車,中型卡車車隊,港口貨運處理車輛。昆騰公司在這個項目中的合作伙伴是電源解決方案國際公司(PSI),一個清潔技術(shù)的發(fā)動機制造商,技術(shù)和里卡多戰(zhàn)略咨詢,和加州大學河濱。該項目將利用PSI的新的8.8升發(fā)動機為基礎引擎,針對一個20%的改善燃油經(jīng)濟性和一個16%的改善功率密度的天然氣版本,以滿足一個迫切的市場需要先進的天然氣選項中型的應用程序。
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., developer and producer of natural gas storage systems, integration and vehicle system technologies, has been notified by the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Public Interest Energy Research Program that Quantum’s proposal in response to the Program Opportunity Notice entitled Advanced Natural Gas Engine Research and Development for Class 3 through Class 7 Applicationshas been recommended for a $1 million grant award.
Southern California Gas has also committed additional funding to help the project meet its technical goals.
The grant will fund the development and validation of a low-cost, multi-port fuel-injected natural-gas fuel system and engine with advanced controls, designed for Class 3 to Class 7 fleet applications such as buses, medium-duty trucks, and port freight-handling vehicles. Quantum’s partners in this project are Power Solutions International, Inc. (PSI), a cleantech engine manufacturer, technology and strategy consultancy Ricardo, and the University of California, Riverside. The project will utilize PSI’s new 8.8-liter engine for the base engine, targeting a 20% improvement in fuel economy and a 16% improvement in power density for the natural gas version to meet an urgent market need for advanced natural gas options for medium duty applications.
