通用汽车公司近日发布了动态跳转点火系统（Dynamic Skip Fire system）的全新点火技术,可使引擎省油15%。通用形容该技术为“革命性的节油新技术”，未来将应用于汽油引擎车型。该系统由Tula Technology研发，主要将先进的数字信号处理器与复杂的传动系统控制结合,再通过相关软件来操控发动机排量变化。虽然这听起来有点费劲，但通用表示，该技术实际上是一个可变排量技术。通过控制每个独立气缸的点火，从而获得最理想的引擎状态，避免动力的浪费。

 

General Motors has revealed some new details about the Dynamic Skip Fire system that is described as a "revolutionary new fuel economy technology" that could be deployed in future petrol-powered models.

 

Developed by Tula Technology, the Dynamic Skip Fire system "integrates advanced digital signal processing with sophisticated powertrain controls to create a software-based approach to variable displacement engines."

 

While that sounds like a lot of techno-babble, GM says the system is like an advanced cylinder deactivation system. As the automaker explains, the Dynamic Skip Fire system "continuously makes dynamic firing decisions on an individual cylinder basis to deliver the required engine torque for all vehicle speeds and loads while avoiding vibration."

 

The system is still being developed but tests have shown fuel economy gains of up to 15 percent.
