To meet the stringent downsizing demands faced by many vehicle manufactures, Bosch has developed an innovative water injection system for gasoline engines to improve fuel consumption and reduce emissions.
The system works by injecting a fine water mist into the intake manifold to cool things down so the engine is unable to overheat, providing increased torque even at high engine speeds.
Initially working with BMW, the system was tested in the BWM M4 GTS, but is now ready for other OEMs to adopt the technology. Bosch is targeting the technology at turbocharged engines with higher than 80kW/litre output. The technology will be used in three and four cylinder downsized engines, which will be suitable for many midsize passenger cars.
With a focus on real world driving emissions, new Euro 6C emission regulations will take effect in September 2017. As a result, further emphasis will be placed on particulate reduction which will mean vehicle manufacturers will have to seriously consider fitting particulate filters to clean up gasoline engines.
Traditionally, it has been diesel engines that have faced tough restrictions, but now gasoline engines are in the firing line for the amount of particulate matter that can be emitted. Initially, the use of Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPFs) created much hesitation due to complexity and costs, however, due to the reduction in particulate numbers required there is no doubt some applications will need a GPF.
In 2016, Volkswagen announced it would be introducing GPFs across its line up over the next six years, and now Volvo look set to take a similar approach to help it meet the stringent emissions legislation.
