Motiv Engines Unveils New Efficient, HD Engine Design Fueled by LNG
Motiv Engines has announced the second generation of its ultra-efficient engine concept dubbed the MkII Clarke-Brayton Engine, which the company plans to develop into a heavy-duty on-highway engine fueled by liquid natural gas (LNG).
This new prototype is fueled by diesel.
The company notes that this is “an important first step in proving the technology before developing a new LNG fuel system.”
The MkII Clarke-Brayton Engine is expected to be up to twice as efficient as a conventional automobile engine and up to 20% more efficient than modern diesel engines.
It achieves this by splitting the processes of an engine into three separate optimized spaces rather than performing all the operations in a single compromised space.
This allows it to implement a fundamentally more efficient cycle, achieve an extremely high 56:1 compression ratio, and lose much less of its energy to heat than a conventional engine.
