TheElsbettengine is an 89 HP, direct-injectiondiesel enginedesigned to run onstraight vegetable oil.The engine is also known asElko engine(for "Elsbett Konstruktion" ) and was invented byLudwig Elsbett.[1]
The design limits the loss of energy as heat by a variety of technologies;
- the fuel charge is injected in such a manner as to 'blend perfectly with the air' and combust within a central core of hot air, not contacting the chamber walls, which is necessary for good air/fuel with other designs examined. The Elsbett engine has a deep bowl which has a slight lip
- the engine also doesn't use any water cooling. Instead, only oil is used as a coolant fluid. No water cooling of the engine block was required, and only an oil cooler was used to cool down the oil circulating.
Elsbett AG is based inThalmässing,Bavaria,Germany.
