RUDOLF- Re-design and utilization of a diesel-converted engine optimized for low fuel consumption

Important results from the project

Our aim and objective has been to evaluate our internal engine which we choose to call Tiny Friendly Gigant (TFG) for use in aviation. This is to create an expanded market and exposure to the usefulness of our products. This engine has free valves and can thus provide extended possibilities together with a two-stroke solution and diesel combustion. As a general rule, we think this biodiesel engine could be a good alternative.

Expected long term effects

We have compiled a specification that will be the basis for the next step in our internal development. We believe that it has potential and that we will be able to benefit greatly from the newly acquired skills and the new collaborations.

Approach and implementation

Together with Lund´s technical university college the project has worked with basic engine construction and combustion analysis to create a two-stroke combustion concept and emission calculations. This is to understand how a construction could develop. The result is based on simulations and the competence that both project parties possess. There has been good cooperation and a sounding board between both parties throughout the project.
