Dresser Waukesha achieved this efficiency level with a simple cycle 1200 rpm APG1000 lean burn demonstration engine without exhaust energy recovery, according to Jim Zurlo, Ph. D., who is Dresser Waukesha’s ARES principal investigator. (BTE, or brake thermal efficiency, is a technical measure of an engine’s ability to convert the energy in the fuel to mechanical work.) Zurlo pointed out that improving engine efficiency not only supports green initiatives by reducing fuel consumption, it also reduces fuel expense, which is the largest cost of engine ownership.
