-50 kW or below is the ICE power (accelerator-off) for rpms above idle - ie so-called 'engine braking'BassVirolla wrote: ↑27 Jan 2025, 15:42Engine refers to full PU or ICE alone? Because I see no sense in the ICE producing minus 50kW.
I understand that the fuel at complete PU power = 0W (ICE vs MGUK for net zero) would be 869MJ/h, which amounts to 241,8kW of gross available power.
If the PU efficiency is nearing 50% (which we cannot know, at least right now), putting the ICE vs. MGUK with clutch disengaged and none torque request from the driver, it would be possible to harvest at 120kW. Not negligible!
Even then, the wording says "at partial load". What's the definition of load? Torque request ≠ load? Load on the ICE? Load in the full PU?
If the driver don't push on the throttle, could be accounted as another scenario not under " partial load", I suppose.
engine power means ICEngine power not Power Unit power
clutch-disengaged or clutch-engaged the energy sum is the same
