LOW POLUTION CAR ENGINE

LOW POLUTION CAR ENGINE

Introduction

            In the past, the main source of energy was hydrocarbons which have proved to cause a lot of pollution and environment degradation. With the increase in technology, civilization became vulnerable to the extinction of natural resources as well as a threat to degrade the environment to uncontrollable levels. A technology based on zero emissions should be established on all products especially the auto mobile industry. This not only eliminates the wasteful use of energy but also preserves the environment and nature. It is freely available from the atmosphere and there is an option to store after compression to the desired pressure. Zero pollution engines are effective in the current industrialized generation where most of the transportation relies on the auto mobiles. Transportation has increased and this translates into increased pollutant activities not unless zero pollution motors are used. Compressed air is very sustainable since it has no vitality, temperatures or any negative effects on the weather. Once the air is compressed, it can be used at the user’s convenience and there is no probability of loss. The maintenance costs are also eliminated since it does not undergo the charging and the discharging cycle. This for of energy is cheap and beneficial in the long run (Singh & Singh, nd). The following is a discussion on the introduction of the low pollution car engine and its benefits to UAE.

Low Pollution Car Engine

            In as much as diesel engines are durable, reliable and highly efficient, the issue of pollution by nitrogen oxide and soot emissions cannot be assumed. They affect the environment and human health. Eliminating this engine and replacing it with the compressed air engines will promote health in UAE. This engine delays ignition through a lower level of compression, increased motion and an injection of higher pressure. It also requires more cooled exhaust gas which recirculates continuously. Although it is not completely homogeneous, it utilizes the injection timing for it to be more controllable in terms of combustion. Once the combustion rate is controlled, there is an advantage in that lubricant dilution is avoided. In such a case, Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) together with lower compression levels, there is adequate time for the air and fuel to mix thus the formation of nitrogen oxide is suppressed. The phasing of the combustion is also better thus less soot.          The noise is also minimized by the decreased pressure rate and engine load (Kiplimo, Tomita & Yokobe, 2012).

This engine generates electricity and has a cylinder situated between two combustion chambers and has the ability to burn several fuels. It can burn the natural gas and hydrogen. It offers a reliable replacement for the fossil fuel which has experienced a lot of shortages. It is also beneficial to UAE because it hinders the anticipated climate changes in future. Since the low emission gas tubes have been in operation, they have saved a lot of time and energy. It is approximated that 10,000,000 hours have been saved. This is a promise that in future, if the low pollution engine is fully adopted, more time and resources will be saved. These can be re directed to other economic activities which help in improving UAE’S economy (Blouch, Li, Mueller & Hook, 2012).

The air engine is also applicable on motor bikes. It will have a torque of about 10.45 Nm or between 6.85HP and 7.50HP. This low engine is beneficial to UAE because the country has been experiencing shortage in fossil fuel and also the increase in pollution. The compressed air cylinder is designed to run for 30 minutes with a maxim pressure of 200PSI. An aesthetic shape will be convenient for a motor bike installation. A double inlet and exhaust is recommended to ensure that at least 7500-800rpm is produced. Such a motor engine is efficient and offers a fossil free running. It substitutes the fossil fuel required thus saves the environment from pollution (Singh & Singh, nd). According to Rahimi (2007), 75% of the emission in Dubai municipality comes fro vehicle emission. This implies that if the motor vehicles adopted the low pollution engine, pollution issue in UAE would decrease tremendously. The rest of the pollution is attributed to industrial plants; this is low as compared to the auto mobile emissions and should be addressed to fight pollution. Introduction of this engine will solve the pollution problems at a great length (Rao, 2006).

Experts are optimistic that the future hybrid car will solve the pollution problem. This will enable the car owners to go green while experiencing a great performance (Stern, 2007). Car owners are concerned about the cost of fuel and this car will also solve this problem because the low pollution engine car is also cheap to maintain. It also gives the consumers the option to upgrade their cars without necessarily having to purchase a new car. This is a viable solution to the existing car owners who may be concerned about the expenses of acquiring the new car. The promise by the auto mobile industries to come up with hybrid cars is a promise the in future, nationals in UAE will embrace change and shift to use the low pollution engine cars (Khan, 2010). The low pollution engine will offer an environment friendly future for UAE, where the nationals will keep enjoying the transportation ease that comes with automobiles while preserving the environment for the future generations.

In The current global economy, pollution and climate change are the main challenges that have affected growth. Air quality in the cities should be improved to stop global warming. The low pollution car engine will help in solving this problem in the UAE. Since most of the pollution occurs in the cities through emissions, a replacement is a great solution. The world health organization expects nations to adopt low pollution strategies especially in the auto mobile transport. For UAE, this standard can only be met if attention is directed towards the low pollution engine car. For UAE Pollution and climate change will be thing of the past (Duret. et al, 2004).

Conclusion

Given that the biggest percentage of pollution in UAE comes from the automobile transportation, a change in the level of pollution in this industry is very significant. The emissions produced by fossil fuels are reduced by enhancing combustion as well as reducing the heat produced. Consumers of these cars will also benefit in terms cost and performance. The low pollution car engine will help the country in a number of ways. One it will save on the country’s cost of fuel, two it will reduce air and noise pollution, three it will contribute towards the fight against global warming and climate change. Most important of all, it will improve the general health conditions for the residents since the quality of air improves.
