[ Juxun Wang reported ] As a supplier to provide shock absorbers and exhaust system products for the world’s major automotive brands, Tenneco for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe offers a complete cold family member and the end of the exhaust system of the engine V-8 LT2.
ldquo; Corvette car mid-engine architecture requires innovative technical solutions to accommodate the package and the exhaust system heat requirements. rdquo; Tenneco executive vice president and president of the air purifier too Peng expressed, ldquo; Our partnership with General Motors, will be combined with the company’s systems integration experience and Chevy engineering teams to provide help to achieve a more efficient, high-performance, low emission vehicle technology. rdquo;
Meanwhile, Tenneco business powertrain component also offers a series of small sports car V-8 LT2 engine, comprising a piston, piston rings, bearings, bushings, valve components and systems protection products.
Advanced exhaust system and powertrain technology mdash; mdash; help achieve iconic Chevrolet car audio and performance
High-performance exhaust system of the vehicle complex active valve is usually provided by the system back pressure changes, in order to achieve the best results while meeting performance, sound and regulations. Tenneco up to 4 electronic valve for the exhaust system become a major feature Corvette: standard exhaust treatment unit equipped with two newly developed valve having enhanced heat resistance, and active vehicle fuel management system coordinated operation, support the closing function of the engine cylinder, so as to achieve optimum fuel efficiency and lower emissions. By opening and closing the valve when the exhaust sound can be controlled Corvette engine switch between the two modes. ldquo; Performance Exhaust rdquo; configuration options installed additional vehicle rear two electronic valves to provide greater differences in acoustic help achieve iconic vehicle sound.
High-performance exhaust system
In addition, a series of thermal solution Tenneco developed the Corvette the exhaust system can be more effectively managed to produce mid-enginedHigh temperature. Solution includes using advanced multi-layer insulation panel, preventing unnecessary heat transfer to the surrounding parts, as well as new valve structure Decoupling reduce thermal influence on the electronic components of the valve.
Tenneco multilayered insulating panels composed of a heat insulating interlayer between two thin layers of stainless steel to minimize the profile, the weight and installation space.
ldquo; This innovative valve actuator and valve body structure to achieve decoupling, is a significant advance driven valve design, combined with our latest achievements valve material can be achieved in the exhaust temperature application of the ultra-high-mounted engine and in other structures. rdquo; Dmitri Konson vice president of global engineering Tenneco air purification Business Unit explains.
innovative valve structure: Tenneco latest development with the implementation of electronic decoupling valve mechanism.
Corvette sports car exhaust systems Grass Lake Michigan in the United States and Germany Edenkoben both product and engineering teams work together developed by Tenneco. Currently located in the city of Smithville, Tennessee manufacturing facility in Tenneco air purification.
