Methods of correction performance parameters of the diesel engine

This diploma thesis deals with obtaining the most suitable way of correcting the influence of intake air pressure, temperature and humidity as well as correcting the influence of fuel properties (diesel fuel). These correction factors are adapted to a specific engine for military use. It is a four-stroke, diesel, turbocharged, 6-cylinder engine, PV6-K37, with a displacement of 19100 cm3. This work also deals with the creation of a methodology for the measurement of this motor at the engine station and with the treatise on current methods of power correction. The measurements were made in the premises of Excalibur Army Ltd. in Šternberk
