Exhaust systems
From 16 To 20 May2011, The 3rd CTI International Conference: Vehicle Emission Reduction Technologies — Criteria Pollutants and CO2 was held May 16-20, 2011 in Detroit, MI.
The five-day program started with a one-day introductory seminar “Basics of Exhaust Systems” (S. Carstens, EngineSens).
The themes for the other days were “Technology Approaches to Meet LEV-III Emissions Requirements”
for day two, “CO2 Issues and Efficiency Approaches in the LD and HD Vehicle Sectors” for day three
“HD Emissions Technologies to Meet Current and Future Needs” for days four and five.
More than 60 participants met in mid-May at the CTI Conference Vehicle Emission Reduction Technologies at the Sheraton Hotel in Novi (MI), USA. The participants particularly liked the dedicated and professional presentations by representatives of OEMs, suppliers and research institutions as well as the frank and detailed discussions.
Dr. Pierre Roze, Exhaust Line Product Line Director, Electricfil Automotive was there as speaker on may 17th. He presented for the second time his conference "Soot sensing for DPF OBD: Bottlenecks and challenges" Electricfil is ready for new anti-pollution requirements and future EPA 10 and Euro VI standards with its new Soot sensors for exhaust lines, designed to diagnose the state of health of particulate filters, measure their soot load and optimize their regeneration cycles.
• DPF OBD soot sensor functional specification review
• Soot Sensor specification vs. the real life of particulate matter
• Sensor optimization and calibration
• Engine and vehicle dynos measurement results
“Vehicle Emission Reduction Technologies”
Sensors in Automobil, Haus der Technik - 5. - 6. April 2011 in München
From 05 To 6 April 2011,
Industry week - conference for students in Beynost
From 28 March To 8 April 2011,
Haus der Technik, München, 4th International Conference on Energy Management
From 15 To 16 March 2011, The objective of the 4th "Energy Management & Wire Harness Systems" conference is to highlight the increased global interaction the automotive industry is faced with in regards to electrical energy management.
The contributions come from established car manufacturers and suppliers as well as colleagues
from renowned scientific institutions.
Olivier Brunel, Marketing Manager - Dr Fathia Karoui, Battery Expert - SBS algorithm developpment and Nicolas Guilhad, Electronic Expert have presented a paper called "Smart Battery Sensor for Future Light and Heavy Duty Vehicles"
In a constant effort to increase driving comfort and safety while reducing fuel consumption and engine emission, the number of electronic and electrically operated function in automobiles is continuously rising. This has created a need for smarter battery monitoring solutions to ensure sufficient battery power and optimal energy management. Several technologies have already been developed worldwide to answer increased demands of micro-hybrid and low CO2 vehicles.
Electricfil has developed an innovative solution well suited for new generation of light and heavy duty vehicles. This unique technology offer major advantages compared to available technologies. Both Hall Effect and shunt technologies are used for current sensing thus allowing an optimized performance to cost ratio for wide range requirements.
A powerful self learning algorithm automatically adapts the sensor to any new battery thus eliminating expensive calibrations and the need for dealer servicing.
Moreover it provides a wide range of crank ability parameters depending on car manufacturers’ strategy. The battery ageing monitoring is robust to all kind of vehicle operating condition ageing effects, and it proved to be very valuable for heavy duty applications with large depth of charge/discharge.
The conference is focused on the unique features of Electricfil solutions and illustrate its performances with practical results on light and heavy duty applications.
