Summary:

Calculating heat balance of Otto engines, one can recognize thatthe ratio between heat transfer and power increases in the partload range, id est city driving. To improve the efficiency of suchengines it is necessary to reduce the quantity of heat transfer andalso of friction losses. Both effects can be achieved by increasingthe temperatures of the cooling medium and the lubricant. Thisleads to two effects: - reduction of fuel consumption - reductionof exhaust emissions.Both effects are valid even in the warming-up-phase as well asunder normal operating temperature and are confirmed by the resultsof our experiments
