Nissan Teams With Agency for New Oil-Flow Tests
Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have joined together to achieve a first for both industries and break some new ground in the field of research and development. The idea is a fascinating one: researchers and engineers at the two companies have developed a neutron imaging system that has provided the first precise visualization of oil flow in an engine operating at high speed.
With this neutron immaging system, researchers will be able to accurately measure how oil “behaves” under normal engine operating conditions. This will enable the researchers to create more efficient engines and design better components to maximize the efficiency of oil flow.
Nissan will use the technology to provide optimal oil circulation with reduced friction in order to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in vehicles. This will help Nissan in the development of more vehicles that will be environmentally friendly and overwhelmingly efficient. Nissan and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency’s partnership could change the way that vehicles are made in the car company.
This will certainly impact Nissan cars and how they are produced in the near future. Consumers will be exposed to cars that will operate more efficiently and will respond better to oil production. This is truly a win/win situation for Nissan.
