A method and Engine using a Magneto-Rheological Fluid to Reduce the Fuel Consumption of an Engine |
摘要 |
<p>A system and method are disclosed for reducing the fuel consumption of an engine, particularly during a cold start or an engine warm-up period. A magnetorheological fluid having a low viscosity is used to lubricate the engine. When viscosity is to be increased, a magnetic field is applied to the magnetorheological fluid. The magnetic field can be selectively applied to electromagnets proximate engine bearings.</p> |
