MAHLE Powertrain delivers new concept engine in less than 12 ...

ResultsFigure 3: Oil Flow DistributionThe oil flow in the engine needs to be steered to the most critical components in strict priority. Anyflow through the pressure relief valve at low engine speeds results in wasted energy and increasedfuel consumption.By using Flowmaster to optimise the engine cooling, inter-cooling and exhaustgas recirculation (EGR) systems the concept vehicle installation requirementshave been met such that the powertrain’s overall fuel economy savings andemissions reductions can be maximised.Robert Corbishley, Senior Analysis Engineer for MPT explains how Flowmasterhas aided the development process. “Flowmaster shortens the time frameand provides much more detailed information at an early stage. We are ableto foresee any potential problems with the engine design much earlier, whichsaves considerable time and resource. The value for money Flowmaster offersis exceptional, being used throughout the development process. When youevaluate Flowmaster’s contribution to the overall project in time saving versuscost, the return on investment is excellent.”www.flowmaster.com
