Revetec's Green Technology
The Revetec Controlled Combustion Engine is a downsized,
high torque unit that eliminates the conventional
inefficient crankshaft. This is achieved by using two
(2) counter rotating trilobate cams which substantially
increase the overall mechanical efficiency of a
combustion engine. The increased efficiency produces
substantial higher torque, significantly improved fuel
consumption and major reductions in carbon emissions.
In a recent Independent testing of the Revetec engine,
the engine achieved a repeatable Brake Specific Fuel
Consumption (BSFC) figure of 212g/(kW-h) or (38.6%
engine efficiency) with a best figure of 207g/(kW-h) or
(39.5%). The Toyota Prius Hybrid in comparison achieves
a BSFC figure of 236g/kWh or 34.7 per cent efficiency,
clearly showing that the Revetec engine is the most
efficient combustion engine in the world. As the tested
Revetec engine is only at a prototype level it is
expected that the final production model will achieve
even higher efficiencies.
The Revetec engine technology can be applied to all
internal combustion engines used in land, marine and
aerial vehicles, namely, automobile, light aircraft,
agricultural, industrial engines, generators and marine
use. This engine can be adopted for the use of petrol,
diesel, ethanol, CNG and heavy fuel.

With the above attributes the Revetec engine technology
can only be described as a “Green” engine technology”
that is available today. This technology can lead the
way and play a significant role in combating the global
warming problem. It not only will cause a substantial
reduction of fuel consumption but will also cause a
reduction of carbon emissions by some 40% compared with
the current conventional combustion engine technology.
It is this substantial reduction of emissions which
allows Revetec to play a significant role in the ETS.
The Revetec engine will play a key role in the
implementation of the ETS.
Revetec, in the design and supply of engines, can claim
Domestic offsets or Free permit allocations which it can
transfer or sell under the ETS. It is part of Revetec’s
strategy to retain the rights to the carbon credits when
it licences its technology to third parties for
production or upon the sale of engines.
One of the key greenhouse gas reduction projects is
Landfill Renewable Energy Projects. These landfill
projects comprise of a gas extraction system to extract
landfill gas with an internal combustion engine
utilizing the landfill gas to generate electricity. The
electricity generated at the plant can be sold back to
the local electricity grid. The Revetec Generator
(Genset) is expected to play a significant role in these
landfill projects |
