The influence of fuel storage length on the wear intensity of selected components in internal combustion engines

Abstract Improving the reliability and durability of internal combustion engines makes it possible to increase productivity and reduce the cost of operation. The study of nature and magnitude of piston rings wear is relevant and represents a scientific novelty. During the operation of internal combustion engines, it is almost impossible to determine the influence of various factors on the wear rate and the resource of piston rings. One of the most accurate ways to study the wear intensity and the service life values of internal combustion engines piston rings during operation is the statistical method. The method of mathematical statistics allows us to study the nature and magnitude of individual parts wear with a sufficient degree of accuracy, to determine the main causes of wear, to outline ways of increasing the parts wear resistance, to establish durability criteria, to reasonably assign standard service life of parts and plan the parts need for any period with a given probability, with climatic conditions being taking into account. The article presents the collected statistical material on the internal combustion engines piston rings wear of construction and road vehicles operated at construction sites of Rostov region. It has been processed according to the normal Gauss law and data on the wear and service life of piston rings are obtained. The obtained experimental data on the wear of piston rings in height are reliable to the distribution law and can be used to determine the intensity of engines piston rings wear at repair enterprises.

Diesel-LNG internal combustion engines (ICEs) are the most promising light and heavy-duty truck (HDT) powering solution for a transition towards a mixed electric-hydrogen renewable energy economy. The diesel-liquid CH4 ICEs have indeed many commonalities with diesel-liquid H2 ICEs, in the infrastructure, on-board fuel storage, and injection technology, despite the fact H2 needs a much lower temperature. The paper outlines the advantages of dual fuel (2F) diesel-LNG ICEs developed adopting two high-pressure (HP) injectors per cylinder, one for the diesel and one for the LNG, plus super-turbocharging. The diesel-LNG ICEs provide high fuel energy conversion efficiencies, and reduced CO2, PM, and NOx emissions. Super-turbocharging permits the shaping of the torque curve while improving acceleration transients. Diesel-LNG ICEs may also clean up the air of background pollution in many polluted areas in the world. Computational results prove the steady-state advantages of the proposed novel design. While the baseline diesel model is a validated model, the 2F LNG model is not. The perfect alignment of the diesel and diesel-LNG ICE performances proven by Westport makes however the proposed results trustworthy.
