Oxy-fuel and zero emission
On July 1, the conference “Oxy-fuel to achieve zero-emission combustion engines from tank to wheel” was held, organized by the Faculty of Science and Technology.
The invited speaker was José Ramón, industrial engineer and expert in thermal machines and engines, knowledge he obtained thanks to the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
He currently works at the CNT University Institute, his specialty is the processes in charge renewal and the energy management of combustion engine gases.
“The idea of this topic is to make it possible to capture the CO2 located in the vehicle, with the production of the oxygen necessary for this process, this capture of C02 allows a circular economy, where it becomes a by-product of the combustion process, with the purpose of returning to become another product ", said the exhibitor.
He added that oxy-fuel combustion makes it possible to eliminate nitrogen oxides so that the temperatures of the process can be regulated and take other pollutants, hydrocarbons and particles to low or zero levels.
On the other hand, the oxy-fuel engine is a favorable engine for heavy transport or industrial machinery, since, thanks to the fact that they work with oxygen, it has been possible to prevent oxy-fuel from melting the engine.
