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.

Effect of surface treatment to inserted ring on Al–Fe bonding layer of aluminium piston with reinforced cast iron ring

In order to improve the bonding strength between piston alloys and cast iron ring of aluminum piston with reinforced cast iron ring,the different methods of the surface treatments(shot blasting and sand blasting) to the cast iron ring are experimented.The optical micrograph shows that an intermetallic layer and a ligulate shaped structure are formed between piston alloys and cast iron base ring.After sand blasting treatment,the ring surface is non-metal shiny,matte-like and has no obvious pits.The intermetallic layer thickness formed between piston alloys and cast iron is thinner and more equally distributed after sand blasting to the ring.The content of the graphite distributed the interfacial zone after the shot blasting treatment is little.With the increase of time by sand blasting,the hardness starts to slightly descend.The bonding strength of the sample by sand blasting is obviously higher than that by shot blasting and increases from 9.32 MPa to 19.53 MPa.

Syntheses and Tribological Property of CrMoN/MoS2 Multilayer Films on Piston Rings of Heavy Vehicle Engine

In order to prolong the service life of piston rings of heavy vehicle engine and decrease the friction and wear of piston rings and cylinder liner,CrMoN/MoS_2 multilayer films were deposited on the surface of rings by magnetron sputtering and low temperature ion sulfuration.FESEM equipped with EDX was adopted to analyze the compositions and morphologies of surface,cross-section,and wear scars of the multilayer films.The nano-hardness and Young＇s modulus of the films were measured by a nano tester.Tribologicalproperties of the films were tested by an SRV~174;4 wear tester.The experimentalresults indicate that the structures of the multilayer films are dense and compact.The films possess nano hardness value of approximately 26.7 GPa and superior ability of plastic deformation resistance.The multilayer films can activate solid lubricating,and possess an excellent antifriction and wear resistance under the conditions of heavy load,high frequency,high temperature,and dynamic load.

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.

Influence of Internal Combustion Engine Parameters on Gas Leakage through the Piston Rings Area

In this work, the influence of internal combustion engine parameters (cylinder-piston clearance, piston head height, the first segment position, gap of the first piston ring and gap of the second piston ring, piston rings’ axial clearance, intake valve debit coefficient) gas leakage from the combustion chamber through the piston rings’ area was investigated. This influence was studied by making an initial forming operation over gas leakage in the analyzed area.

Thermal Stress Monitoring on Piston Rings by Real Time Holographic Interferometry

In this paper, real time holographic Interferometry (RTHI) technique was used to monitor the thermal stress on the piston rings. The piston rings holograms were recorded and the holographic plate replaced on the holder after development. The piston ring was subjected to thermal stress as it was illuminated by Laser beam acting as the object beam. This process led to generation of interferograms which were captured by a CCD camera at different temperatures. The captured interferograms were analyzed using atmosfringe version 3.3 software. From the analysis, the peak to valley (P-V) aberrations measured for each of the piston ring varied for the same temperature value. The P-V aberrations ranging from 0.0128λ to 1.2989λ were obtained. From this result, it was evident that the three rings on the piston had different unique structural characteristics due to their function.
