Separating the scavenging process from the lubrication methodology in conventional two-stroke engines is an effective method of reducing emissions. Segregation of scavenging by use of stepped pistons is one such method providing significant improvements in engine durability, and reduced lubricant consumption, together with reduced production cost. The study discusses the approaches used together with those applied to conventional engines. This paper focusses on a marine outboard motor application and cross-comparisons with a comparable four-stroke outboard motor are drawn within the study. One-dimensional computational fluid dynamics models of the engine types have allowed performance and emissions simulations. Where possible, data from experimental dynamometer testing is compared with the theoretical models. A reasonable level of correlation in terms of performance has been observed. Two-stroke cycle engines are able to demonstrate reduced oxides of nitrogen emissions when compared with conventional four-stroke engines. Models of the stepped piston engine have confirmed the lower NOx emission evident with operation on the two-stroke cycle.
