Introduction Based on current market demand, diesel engine development has targeted the requirement for high power density and increased torque with low fuel consumption. Fulfilling high expectations regarding noise, driving comfort and reliability are certainly further essential goals. The European emission regulations, Euro 5 and Euro 6, which are effective by 2009 and 2014 respectively, have accelerated the development of even higher performance injection and after-treatment systems. To satisfy these requirements, KS Kolbenschmidt is developing power cylinder systems with reduced weight and...

Design Optimization The integration of the pre-optimized systems into the customized development begins by designing the components to meet the engine’s boundary conditions. The components are first optimized by individual FEAs which are later integrated into the engine simulation. The system analysis provides the correct boundary conditions for the next finite element iteration. The functional optimization is performed with the best simulation tools available today (see Fig. 3) to determine the system performance for specified operating conditions in this early stage of the development process....
