SI Engine Performance

Understand the design constraints and trade-offs to achieve improved fuel economy while meeting lower emissions. Receive an overview of engines, torque curves, PV thermodynamics, SI combustion and knock, air handling, fuels, fuel systems, friction, exhaust emissions mechanisms, regulations, and after treatment. You’ll also learn the latest technologies, materials and controls for better fuel economy and lower emissions. 

 Who should attend?

• Engineers who work for IC engine companies and their suppliers
• Engineers of companies who purchase or use IC engines for their machines
• Technicians and managers in automotive, marine, or small engine markets
• Business associates in marketing, planning, purchasing, project management
