A CLEAN SHEET APPROACH LEADS TO BREAK-THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Internal combustion and electric technical advances remain minimal because they are based on old technology, with inherent limitations. In contrast, CHP Engine Corporation took a “clean sheet” engineering approach.

First, was identifying the greatest technical opportunity. Although fuel has high energy density, the USA EPA notes that, “An internal combustion engine converts fuel to 30% pressure and 70% heat. Pressure moves the vehicle, while heat is discharged as wasted energy. ”The engineering solution was to combine both heat and pressure in order to maximize the amount of fuel energy converted to mechanical power. The result? Whereas gasoline engines are 30% efficient in converting energy to power, and diesels are 40%, the United States EPA notes that CHP can attain 80% efficiency with near“zero emissions”.
