Dynamic Skip Fire

DSF® technology delivers 5-15% efficiency gains in passenger vehicles

How Dynamic Skip Fire (DSF®) works

DSF根据每个事件动态地跳过或点燃单个汽缸,以满足发动机所要求的扭矩. 通过使用专利算法仔细控制燃烧事件的数量和顺序, engine operation occurs near peak efficiency, creating a software-controlled variable displacement engine. 森林舞会游戏的算法避免了噪音和振动的产生,在所有驾驶条件下都能给司机提供预期的改进水平.

DSF® in real world situations

High Torque
Merging On to the Freeway

When high torque is needed, DSF® activates all cylinders.

Medium Torque
Highway Cruise

As torque demand moderates, cylinders are dynamically skipped based on demand.

Low Torque
Low Speed Cruise

At slower speeds, maximum fuel efficiency is maintained by skipping more cylinders, even skipping all cylinders during deceleration.

How DSF is implemented

Software in Engine Control Module

DSF® can be implemented with existing technology

Cylinder Deactivation Hardware

Engine oil pressure desplaces locking pin
Cam does not activate the valve

Tula’s DSF works with most deactivation valvetrains

DSF relies on individual cylinder deactivation. 每个钢瓶着火或漏火需要由能够停用的进气阀和排气阀控制.

Valve deactivation can be through hydraulic or electromechanical means.

DSF具有卓越的价值主张,目前道路上有超过200万辆装有DSF的汽车证明了这一点

HYBRID++ & Electric Dynamic Skip Fire

森林舞会游戏正在通过先进的电动动力系统技术使绿色科技更加环保

Hybrid++

How Hybrid++ works

HYBRID++ is a simplified, patented all-cylinder deactivation controls technology, 适用于P0或P1轻度混合动力汽车,以实现协同燃油效率的提高和显著的有毒气体排放的减少.
