Advanced Combustion Engine Enabling Technologya) This area of interest is for new or early development conceptsapplicable toone or more of a wide range of topics supporting and enabling the improvedfuelefficiency, performance, and emissions in internal combustion enginesincluding low-cost, robust sensors for engine exhaust constituents andin-cylinder phenomena; waste heat recovery; variable compression ratio;variable valve actuation and timing; lightweight components; reducedfriction;low heat rejection and thermal management; low energy penalty emissioncontrols; advanced fuel injection; intake air management; andturbomachinery.The proposed work is to focus on technologies supporting high efficiencycleancombustion technology including low-temperature and homogeneous chargecompression ignition combustion.b) This area of interest is ?fuel neutral.? Fuels used in research can beeither ?gasoline-like? or ?diesel-like? as long as the overall goals aresupported.c) Projects proposed in this area of interest shall be structured in a twophase approach. Phase I shall consist of a 6-12 month effort fordemonstratingthe proof-of-principle feasibility of the technology applicable to one ormoreof the specific topic areas. Phase II shall consist of an 18-24 montheffortfor the scaled-up testing of the technology developed in Phase I at theappropriate laboratory, bench, pilot, or on-board scale of testing. Iftheapplicant can demonstrate sufficient evidence that proof-of-principlefeasibility of the proposed technology has already been accomplished inpreviously completed testing, the applicant may chose to propose in theirapplication to bypass Phase I and move directly into Phase II. Theapplicantshould also provide a plan addressing the further development andcommercialization of the proposed technology beyond the herein proposedPhaseII effort.d) Teaming arrangements under this area of interest are NOT required butarestrongly encouraged, especially among automobile manufacturers, enginemanufacturers, component suppliers, and energy companies to take advantageofthe best complementary technologies available from the different companiesandorganizations. Participation of universities, small businesses, and DOELaboratories is also encouraged (Reference 3.5 for Federally FundedResearchand Development Centers [FFRDC] restrictions).e) It is expected that three (3) to five (5) cooperative agreements will beawarded in this area of interest. Projects should be proposed with periodsofperformance between 24 and 36 months.f) It is estimated that a total of approximately $1.5-2.0 million in DOEfundswill be available to be divided between all the awards in this area ofinterest.g) The minimum Recipient cost share is 20% for Phase I and 50% for PhaseII.
