全球多行业顾问里卡多有限公司将推出它的未来一代阿特拉斯-II，在最新的高速版本李嘉图的范围大，单个气缸的研究和发展的引擎，在2013 CIMAC世界国会的内燃机技术下周在上海。将展出了示范引擎。阿特拉斯-II已经开发谁设计为移动和固定应用天然气发动机的主要制造商。

能够测试发动机的概念，范围从150至200毫米至280毫米，孔与中风高达阿特拉斯-II使大，多气缸发动机设计的评价，在一个单一的动力缸。特别专注于从事大型天然气发动机的设计制造商的需求，这种新产品提供了一个高度灵活的，多燃料能力的开发工​​具，它可以提供的产品更快地推向市场，并大大降低了成本。还计划进一步大阿特拉斯-2变体中，以300毫米至400毫米的孔。

除了推出新的Atlas-II引擎 - 基于4-6个月交付时间表取决于选择的选项 - 里卡多还安装阿特拉斯-II在英国大型发动机研发设施，这将是为客户提供项目使用从2013年8月。

“我们非常高兴能够推出这项令人兴奋的新产品在的CIMAC世界的国会，”西蒙·布鲁斯特，里卡多头大型发动机。“在下一代阿特拉斯II的设计中，我们试图满足客户的需求明显更快，成本更低，更有效的开发周期为高，中速发动机。这将为他们提供福利发展从静态功耗铁路机车和船用推进发动机的应用范围。此外，认识到在使用天然气的兴趣大幅增加，我们已经指定了阿特拉斯-II的设计提供符合要求这种燃料的开发环境，除了柴油，重油和船用柴油机油“。

Global multi-industry consultant Ricardo plc will launch it’s next generation Atlas-II, the latest high-speed version of Ricardo’s range of large, single cylinder research and development engines, at the 2013 CIMAC World Congress on Combustion Engine Technology next week in Shanghai. A demonstration engine will be on display. The Atlas-II has been developed primarily for manufacturers who design natural gas engines for both mobile and stationary applications.

Able to test engine concepts ranging from 150-200 mm bore with a stroke of up to 280 mm, the Atlas-II enables the evaluation of large, multi-cylinder engine designs in a single power cylinder. Focused in particular on the needs of manufacturers engaged in the design of large natural gas engines, this new product provides a highly flexible, multi-fuel capable development tool which can deliver products faster to market and at considerably reduced cost. Further larger Atlas-II variants of up to 300 and 400 mm bore are also planned.

In addition to launching the new Atlas-II engine – available based on a 4-6 month delivery timescale depending upon options selected – Ricardo is also installing an Atlas-II at its UK large engine development facility where it will be available for customer project use from August 2013.

“We are really pleased to be able to launch this exciting new product at the CIMAC World Congress,” commented Simon Brewster, Ricardo head of large engines. “In the design of the next-generation Atlas-II we have attempted to meet our customers’ requirements for significantly faster, lower cost, and more effective development cycles for high and medium speed engines. This will provide them with benefits in development of engine applications ranging from static power to railway locomotives and marine propulsion. Moreover, recognizing the substantial increase of interest in the use of natural gas, we have specified the design of the Atlas-II to provide a development environment that meets the requirements of this fuel in addition to those of diesel, heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil.”
