Experimental Studies of Cylinder Group State During Motoring

AbstractThe paper describes a method for diagnosing the cylinder-piston group of internal combustion engines (ICE). The method is based on analyzing the results of measuring the dynamic compression during crankshaft motoring. The position of the maximum pressure in the combustion chamber, its magnitude and phase parameters give a complete picture of the technical state of the engine cylinder group. Measured parameters of the pressure signal were compared to instrumental measurements of air leakage in the cylinder-piston group as well as to the compression values. The developed method allows to combine all the positive aspects of existing and proposed methods and to solve the long-standing problem of improving the accuracy of estimating the technical state of ICE units and mechanisms. cylinders, rings, pistons, valves, displacement of phases timing. Experimental results are presented as graphs showing the inter-dependency of parameters of the processes under consideration
