ENGINE MAKERS' * USA - Advanced Waste Heat Recovery System for DOE Super Truck Program
VanDyne SuperTurbo Chosen by Cummins for
Fort Collins,COL,USA -PRNewswire -Aug. 16, 2010: -- VanDyne SuperTurbo, Inc. announced today that it has signed a contract with Cummins Inc. to develop more fuel-efficient Class 8 trucks using VanDyne SuperTurbochargers. The agreement is part of the Super Truck program, a cost-sharing initiative between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the private sector... Under the agreement, Cummins and VanDyne together, will work to develop a VanDyne SuperTurbocharger for a Cummins engine. This American-made technology captures waste heat in the exhaust and adds it back on top of the engine's power. Thereby the technology increases both fuel efficiency and horsepower in internal combustion engines. If successful, the agreement may result in VanDyne SuperTurbochargers going into high volume production in the future... "The SuperTurbocharger -image- is a product that has the low-end torque of a supercharger, even higher power than a turbocharger, together with the efficiency gains of turbocompounding, all in one device. The technology allows a gasoline car engine to be downsized up to 50%; delivering a 25 to 30 percent efficiency gain, while making the same power as the bigger engine it replaces. All this for $350 dollars per car in high volume production", said Ed VanDyne, Founder and CEO, VanDyne SuperTurbo, Inc....Labels: engine makers
