University of Wisconsin Madison Presented by: Eric Schroeder Adam Schumacher 2005 SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge Design Presentation
Design Considerations: Market Survey Survey in Fall 2003 75 student riders Customers Want: Acceleration Agility Historical Best Sellers Ski-Doo Rev Platform Polaris 600 XC SP Top speed not given high priority Fall 2003 Survey (Experienced Riders) 75 Students Surveyed
Engine Selection Engine emissions from 2002 and 2003 CSC and current commercial snowmobile engines Ski-doo SDI system reduces two stroke emissions by 50% 1 Polaris Liberty engine has lowest emissions of commercially available engines HC g/kW-hr CO g/kW-hr NO x g/kW-hr Two-stroke average (SwRI 2002) Idaho four-stroke (CSC 2003) Idaho four-stroke (SwRI 2002) Arctic Cat 660 (4s) (SwRI 2002) Polaris Liberty (4s) (SwRI 2002) : * SwRI 2002 (Leda, White) Snowmobile Engine Emissions Testing
Powertrain Enhancement Unique Hybrid Electric Design Increases performance without need for larger engine Motor mounts to custom student machined chaincase Measured Performance Increase Improves acceleration from km/hr Does not increase top speed of the snowmobile
Hybrid Energy Storage 48 Volt Battery Pack 4 Johnson Controls Inspira Batteries 6.5 Amp-hour capacity Sufficient for 30 seconds of peak power Designed to assist the engine during acceleration Makes the sled “feel more powerful” without added fuel consumption and emissions
Emissions Reduction
CSC 2004 Emissions Results High CO and HC emissions at WOT Found to be open loop at WOT Single catalyst used in 2004
Emissions Reduction Improvements for 2005 Closed loop at WOT Dual Catalyst System Removed Secondary Air Injection
Emissions Reduction 2005 Emissions Testing Results 94% reduction from stock 86% reduction from 2004
