FEV desarrolla sistemas de propulsión para la industria del automóvil, entre otras cosas. Juntos quieren acelerar el desarrollo del motor de combustión de hidrógeno (H2ICE) haciéndolo apto para el Rally Dakar . Está previsto que esta moto haga su debut en una sección especial del ‘Dakar’.¿Por qué H2ICE?La FEV afirma en su nota de prensa que la apuesta por el hidrógeno responde casi exclusivamente al deseo de eliminar las emisiones de los combustibles fósiles. Cuando se quema hidrógeno, solo se liberan cantidades mínimas de hidrocarburos (HC), monóxido de carbono (CO), dióxido de carbono (CO2) y hollín. Estos no provienen del hidrógeno en sí, sino del lubricante quemado. Por lo tanto, FEV presta gran atención a la reducción del consumo de aceite durante el desarrollo del H2ICE.El principal componente de los gases de escape es el óxido de nitrógeno (NOx). Sus emisiones se minimizan mediante una tasa de combustión laminar muy alta en combinación con amplios límites de ignición, lo que permite una mezcla muy pobre. Debido a la baja temperatura de los gases de escape, la cantidad de NOx ya está por debajo de los valores límite actuales incluso sin tratamiento posterior de los gases de escape. La cantidad de NOx se reduce aún… https://bit.ly/3H0aucP
