On December 13, the 19th Ceremony for the WIPO-SIPO Award for Chinese Outstanding Patented Invention & Industrial Design, jointly hosted by State Intellectual Property Office and World Intellectual Property Organization, was held in Beijing.  An officer from State Intellectual Property Office announced the names of prize-winners, among which was the fence cylinder cap for high speed diesel engine for boats invented by  Yuchai  Group, winning the Prize for Chinese Outstanding Patented Invention. This was the third time for Yuchai Group to win the prize. Earlier, Yuchai Group also won the same prize for its unload groove on cylinder cap of four valve diesel engine in the 10th Ceremony for the WIPO-SIPO Award for Chinese Outstanding Patented Invention & Industrial Design and for its engine cylinder block in the 17th. These prized embody the achievements of the company ’ s strategy of attaching equal attention to the number and quality of patents and paying special...

The role that gensets play as peaking plant is important, as it helps National Grid to ensure secure supplies of power (although there are many other options available for providing the same service). However, the proliferation of diesel is affecting the dynamics of the capacity market such that longer-term security of supply may be harmed. The low capital costs of gensets , coupled with the access to cheap investment capital through EIS funds, has meant that they are able to bid into the capacity market at low prices and thus bring down the price that the market clears at. This has contributed to a lower-than-expected clearing price, which in turn has meant that new-build CCGT has been priced out (Stokes and Spinks 2015). The government has made clear that they want to see investment in large amounts of gas capacity in order to ensure security of supply, but at present this is being undermined by an increasing amount of diesel capacity befitting  from the capacity marke...

You might think that engine oils are all the same. In fact oil quality varies greatly. Lower quality oil has a shorter working life. Its impact on your engine will be higher fuel consumption and ultimately it will shorten your engine ’ s life. Using a good quality oil is genuinely better for your engine, as it will maximize  engine life, control emissions and reduce the cost of maintenance. The correct oil will give you significant benefits such as smoother running, longer engine life and better return on your investment. To address our customer ’ s needs in the USA, Canada and Mexico, we ’ ve launched a new Perkins   diesel engine oil (DEO), the only oil formulated specifically to match the conditions in Perkins engines. Oil ’ s key role is to lubricate the engine  and remove heat. With increasing emissions standards and demands for power efficiency, engine oil has to work harder than ever to protect your diesel engine. Ever more sophisticated engine...
