WESTROM’s internal combustion engine design offers unique benefits over current and conventional internal combustion piston engines 1

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE:

○ Improved options and flexibility to optimize and improve exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) designs

○ Reduced nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions

○ Reduced particulate emissions

○ Optimized quench area

FUEL ECONOMY :

Combustion Engine Project Introduction

© 2011, WESTROM-DTB, Ltd. © 2011, WESTROM, LLC

○ Maximum volumetric efficiency

○ Maximum value intake & exhaust valve areas and fluid flow rates, leading to a more complete and clean burn

30% reduction in the number of cylinder head and va lve train part counts leading to:

○ Improved reliability

○ Reduced manufacturing costs

○ Reduced maintenance costs and total cost of ownership

Overall design theoretically enables improved therm odynamic & heat transfer performance:

○ Potential for short circuit air cooling & improved cooling of valves and value seats

○ Greatly improved exhaust gas scavenging Note:

1. Discussion and review of the design and the fully operational prototype is possible, after a binding non-disclosure agreement is executed

The project has three main phases, with major miles tones and exit criteria for each phase; the concept development phase is no w complete
