Coupled evolution of piston asperity and cylinder bore contour of piston/cylinder pair in axial piston pump

The wear condition of the piston/cylinder pair is crucial to the performance and reliability of the axial piston pump.The hard piston surface,the soft cylinder bore surface,and the interface oil film affects each other during the wear process.Specifically,in the mixed lubrication region,the geometry of the hard piston surface asperity directly affects the wear of soft cylinder bore surface,while the asperities may deform or even degrade when penetrating and sliding against the cylinder bore.So far,there is no suitable method to simulate their coupled evolution.This paper proposed a wear process simulation model considering the real-time interaction between the elasto-plastic deformation of the piston surface asperity,the wear contour of the cylinder bore,and the lubrication condition of the interface.An offline library of the elasto-plastic constitutive behavior of the asperity based on the finite element method(FEM)is established as a part of the simulation model to precisely analyze the deformation and degradation of the asperity and quickly invoke them in the numerical wear process simulation.The simulation and experimental results show that the piston asperity and the cylinder bore contour converge to a steady state after running-in for about 0.5 h.The distribution of the simulated asperity degradation and wear depth is also verified by the experiment.

Analysis of Oil Consumption in Cylinder of Diesel Engine for Optimization of Piston Rings

The performance and particulate emission of a diesel engine are affected by the consumption of lubricating oil. Most studies on oil consumption mechanism of the cylinder have been done by using the experimental method, however they are very costly. Therefore, it is very necessary to study oil consumption mechanism of the cylinder and obtain the accurate results by the calculation method. Firstly, four main modes of lubricating oil consumption in cylinder are analyzed and then the oil consumption rate under common working conditions are calculated for the four modes based on an engine. Then, the factors that affect the lubricating oil consumption such as working conditions, the second ring closed gap, the elastic force of the piston rings are also investigated for the four modes. The calculation results show that most of the lubricating oil is consumed by evaporation on the liner surface. Besides, there are three other findings： （1） The oil evaporation from the liner is determined by the working condition of an engine; （2） The increase of the ring closed gap reduces the oil blow through the top ring end gap but increases blow-by; （3） With the increase of the elastic force of the ring, both the left oil film thickness and the oil throw-off at the top ring decrease. The oil scraping of the piston top edge is consequently reduced while the friction loss between the rings and the liner increases. A neural network prediction model of the lubricating oil consumption in cylinder is established based on the BP neural network theory, and then the model is trained and validated. The main piston rings parameters which affect the oil consumption are optimized by using the BP neural network prediction model and the prediction accuracy of this BP neural network is within 8%, which is acceptable for normal engineering applications. The oil consumption is also measured experimentally. The relative errors of the calculated and experimental values are less than 10%, verifying the validity of the simulation results. Applying the established simulation model and the validated BP network model is able to generate numerical results with sufficient accuracy, which significantly reduces experimental work and provides guidance for the optimal design of the piston rings diesel engines.

Cavitation of a Submerged Jet at the Spherical Valve Plate/Cylinder Block Interface for Axial Piston Pump

The spherical valve plate/cylinder block pair has the advantages of strong overturning resistance and large bearing area.However,the configurations of the unloading and pre-boosting triangular grooves on the spherical valve plate are different from those in the planar valve plate,resulting in special cavitation phenomenon on the spherical port plate pair.In order to study cavitation characteristics of spherical port plate pair,a dynamic CFD model of the piston pump including turbulence model,cavitation model and fluid compressibility is established.A detailed UDF compilation scheme is provided for modelling of the micron-sized spherical oil film mesh,which makes up for the lack of research on the meshing of the spherical oil film.In this paper,using CFD simulation tools,from the perspectives of pressure field,velocity field and gas volume fraction change,a detailed analysis of the transient evolution of the submerged cavitation jet in a axial piston pump with spherical valve plate is carried out.The study indicates the movement direction of the cavitation cloud cluster through the cloud image and the velocity vector direction of the observation point.The sharp decrease of velocity and gas volume fraction indicates the collapse phenomenon of bubbles on the part wall surface.These discoveries verify the special erosion effect in case of the spherical valve plate/cylinder block pair.The submerged cavitation jet generated by the unloading triangular grooves distributed on the spherical valve plate not only cause denudation of the inner wall surface of the valve plate,but also cause strong impact and denudation on the lower surface of the cylinder body.Finally,the direction of the unloading triangular groove was modified to extend the distance between it and the wall surface which can effectively alleviate the erosion effect.

The result can be used for designing engine, diagnosing the noise of piston knocking cylinder wall and explaining many practical fault phenomena in theory.

Piston-ring and Cylinder-liner Lubrication in Internal Combustion Engines Based on Thermo-hydrodynamic

Currently the extruded effect,roughness to the lubricant shear thinning,temperature changes and other factors or some combination of a single factor mainly considered in the lubrication study of piston ring-cylinder.In the study of the energy equation,the oil viscosity-temperature properties,adsorption layer characteristics are usually not considered.So the theoretical research is different from the actual situation of engineering.The lubrication of piston ring-cylinder liner system in internal combustion(IC) engines is studied here based on the theory of thermal flow.An unsteady and compressible hydrodynamic lubrication model with an equivalent viscosity based on shear and extruded flow factor is derived by employing the viscosity-temperature relationship,meanwhile,characteristics such as lubricating oil’s density varying with pressure and temperature,thickness of adsorbent layer and oil film’s geometry are also considered in this model.While setting up the energy equation,the effect of lubricating oil’s volume expansion and viscous dissipation on temperature,the heat conduction along oil film’s thickness direction are considered.Finite difference equation is formed by using a first-order difference scheme in time scale and second-order difference scheme in space scale.A common diesel engine is introduced as an instance to predict the distribution of the minimum oil film thickness in the piston ring-cylinder liner system.The results of simulation calculation show that the minimum oil film thickness will decrease especially around the top dead center when the oil’s volume expansion,viscous dissipation and heat conduction are considered,which implies that:it is essential to take the thermal flow idea into account during investigating piston ring-cylinder liner system’s lubrication.A more complete piston ring-cylinder liner lubrication theory was established according to thermal fluids from the perspective of research.It is more helpful to guide the practical application of engineering to improve the accuracy of forecasting the minimum film thickness.On the other hand,distribution of the minimum oil film thickness shows a nonlinear property if the thickness of piston rings and cylinder liner adsorbent layer are involved in the analysis.It may be feasible to increase the minimum oil film thickness by varying surface roughness and material properties of piston rings and cylinder liner.

Numerical analysis on three dimensional temperature field of the gap between piston and cylinder

The three dimensional temperature field of the gap between piston and cylinder was ob- tained by numerically solving energy equation. The boundary condition of the equation was given in the form of heat transfer coefficient, instead of solving the temperature field of solid parts. The tem- perature field was calculated both under high speed high pressure condition and low speed low pres- sure condition. The numerical result was compared to experimental result under low speed low pres- sure condition and showed good agreement. It was shown that the influence of heat transfer coeffi- cient on t＇tim temperature was significant. The adiabatic condition was reasonable under low speed low pressure condition, but invalid under high speed high pressure condition. It was a good way to describe the influence of solid parts on temperature using heat transfer coefficient but avoiding sol- ving the temperature field of solids parts.

Tribological Properties of Cylinder Block/Valve Plate Interface of Axial Piston Pump on the Tribometer

The tribological properties of cylinder block/valve plate is an important consideration in the design of axial piston pump.The effect of materials and heat treatment on friction and wear properties has been studied in depth.Engi-neering experiences show that the speed and load also affect the tribological properties,but these have not been systematically analyzed.The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the tribological properties of the commonly used materials(CuPb1 5Sn5 and 38CrMoAl/42CrMo)for cylinder block/valve plate with different heat treatment and con-tact pressure at different speed.During the test,tribometer is used to simulate the contact pattern between the valve plate/cylinder block in axial piston pump,the friction coefficient,wear rate and surface topography are analyzed to evaluate the tribological properties of different types of friction samples at different speed.Results indicate that:(1)contact surface of the samples at 1800 r/min is more prone to adhesive wear than those at 500 r/min;(2)in the terms of wear resistance,quench-tempered and nitrided 38CrMoAl(38CrMoAl QTN for short)is better than quench-tem-pered and nitrided 42CrMo,although they are all commonly used materials in the axial piston pump;(3)2.5 MPa is the critical contact pressure of the interface between valve plate made of 38CrMoAl QTN and cylinder block made of CuPb1 5Sn5 on the tribometer,which implies the pressure bearing area at the bottom of the cylinder block should be carefully designed;(4)the valve plate/cylinder block made of 38CrMoAl QTN/CuPb15Sn5 exhibits good tribological properties in a real axial piston pump.This research is useful for the failure analysis and structural optimization design of the valve plates/cylinder block.

Tribological performance of MoS2 coating on slipper pair in axial piston pump

This study investigates tribological performance of MoS2 coating on slipper pair in axial piston pump.Firstly,the MoS2 coating on the surface of slipper pair was prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying treatment technology.Secondly,the tribological characteristics of slipper pair under various working conditions were evaluated on ring-on-block tester in oil lubrication.The original and worn surfaces of the specimens were analyzed with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer,and then the wear morphologies of the MoS2 coatings were imaged by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The experimental results showed that the friction coefficients of Cu-based materials with MoS2 coating decreased by about 0.05 at 800 N.Especially,when the external load was set to 800 N,the wear rate of the ZY331608 decreased by about 16.4%after the substrates were treated by the MoS2 coating,which exhibited excellent anti-friction and wear resistance.The formation of the MoS2 lubricating film could be classified into four stages,including the initial friction stage,anchoring stage of MoS2 on friction surface,covering stage of the sliding surface by MoS2 and the formation stage of MoS2 film.The dominating wear mechanisms of Cu-based materials with MoS2 coating were adhesive wear and abrasive wear accompanied with oxidative wear.

Experimental Study on Wear Performance and Oil Film Characteristics of Surface Textured Cylinder Liner in Marine Diesel Engine

It is of a vital importance to reduce the frictional losses in marine diesel engines. Advanced surface textures have provided an e ective solution to friction performance of rubbing pairs due to the rapid development of surface engineering techniques. However,the mechanisms through which textured patterns and texturing methods prove beneficial remains unclear. To address this issue,the tribological system of the cylinder liner?piston ring(CLPR) is investigated in this work. Two types of surface textures(Micro concave,Micro V?groove) are processed on the cylinder specimen using di erent processing methods. Comparative study on the friction coe cients,worn surface texture features and oil film characteristics are performed. The results demonstrate that the processing method of surface texture a ect the performance of the CLPR pairs under the specific testing conditions. In addition the micro V?groove processed by CNCPM is more favorable for improving the wear performances at the low load,while the micro?con?cave processed by CE is more favorable for improving the wear performances at the high load. These findings are in helping to understand the e ect of surface texture on wear performance of CLPR.

Investigation on the Radial Micro-motion about Piston of Axial Piston Pump

The limit working parameters and service life of axial piston pump are determined by the carrying ability and lubrication characteristic of its key friction pairs. Therefore, the design and optimization of the key friction pairs are always a key and difficult problem in the research on axial piston pump. In the traditional research on piston/cylinder pair, the assembly relationship of piston and cylinder bore is simplified into ideal cylindrical pair, which can not be used to analyze the influences of radial micro-motion of piston on the distribution characteristics of oil-film thickness and pressure in details. In this paper, based on the lubrication theory of the oil film, a numerical simulation model is built, taking the influences of roughness, elastic deformation of piston and pressure-viscosity effect into consideration. With the simulation model, the dynamic characteristics of the radial micro-motion and pressure distribution are analyzed, and the relationships between radial micro-motion and carrying ability, lubrication condition, and abrasion are discussed. Furthermore, a model pump for pressure distribution measurement of oil film between piston and cylinder bore is designed. The comparison of simulation and experimental results of pressure distribution shows that the simulation model has high accuracy. The experiment and simulation results demonstrate that the pressure distribution has peak values that are much higher than the boundary pressure in the piston chamber due to the radial micro-motion, and the abrasion of piston takes place mainly on the hand close to piston ball. In addition, improvement of manufacturing roundness and straightness of piston and cylinder bore is helpful to improve the carrying ability of piston/cylinder pair. The proposed research provides references for designing piston/cylinder pair, and helps to prolong the service life of axial piston pump.
