AbstractThe mechanical vibration causes health issues to drivers, such as backache, spinal cord injury, etc. In this regard, a tractor engine plays important role. Tractors without chassis are equipped with a balancer unit reducing the secondary engine vibrating force and decreasing the engine and tractor vibration. The paper presented investigates the effects of balancer on secondary vibration. In this research, the root mean square (RMS) of vibration was computed for specific periods of engine work. Effects of rotational speed and engine load on engine vibration in two modes with and without balancer were investigated. The results showed that, at full engine load, increasing the engine speed resulted in increasing the vibration in both observed modes. Balancer utilization reduced the vibration by 22.3% on average. At fixed rotational speed, increasing load caused an increase in vibration in both observed modes. At 1400 rpm rotational speed and 125 Nm torque, balancer utilization managed to reduce the RMS of secondary vibration by 38.9%. Furthermore, at 250 Nm, RMS vibrations were reduced by 21.3% in comparison to no balancer mode. At full load, variable rotational speed, the balancer significantly reduced vibration by 29% on average. The balancer proved to be more efficient at lower torques.

Tractor load influences engine work parameters having an influence on the working economy and productivity of the complete tractor aggregate. The operational economy and productivity of the tractor is mostly evident when its engine power is utilized at least at 80% and engine speed is as low as possible. The paper analyses the engine parameters of tractor Massey Ferguson MF 8480 during the operational period of road construction works. Control tests on the parameters of the engine load of the tractor engine in combination with the employed milling equipment WS 2500 produced by the company ‘Wirtgen’ were performed. The study was carried out using engine load tables and graphs collected and stored in the so called ECU Load Profileintegrated in Electronic Engine Control Units. Theoretical analysis was made and an equation presented to establish the relation between engine power, engine speed and the quantities of cyclic fuel consumption. The study results present the distribution graphs of work time and fuel consumption at different engine speed during the operational period. The paper also indicates engine load and fuel consumption graphs of the tractor in combination with milling equipment. The article has also disclosed that the analysis of engine speed and load modes using information obtained from tractor‐integrated digital microprocessors reveals the operation quality of the tractor.

The tire inflation pressure, among other factors, determines the efficiency in which a tractor can exert traction. It was studied the effect of using two tire inflation pressures, 110.4 kPa in the front and rear wheels, 124.2 kPa in the front wheel and 138 kPa in the rear wheels, the energetic efficiency of an agricultural tractor of 147 kW of engine power, in the displacement speed of 6.0 km.h-1, on track with firm surface, with the tractor engine speed of 2000 rpm. For each condition of the tire pressure, the tested tractor was subjected to constant forces in the drawbar of 45 kN and 50 kN, covering 30 meters. It was used a randomized complete block with a 2x2 factorial arrangement (tire pressure and drawbar power) with four replications, totaling 16 experimental units. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, using the Tukey test at 5% probability for comparison averages. The lowest hourly and specific fuel consumption, the lowest slippage of the wheelsets and the highest efficiency in the drawbar was obtained with the tire inflation pressure of 110.4 kPa in the front and rear tires of the tractor, highlighting that lower pressures improve energetic and operational performance of the tractor.

This paper describes the effect of a mixture of rapeseed methyl ester and diesel oil on fuel consumption and power parameters of tractor engine. The hydraulic dynamometer was used to load the engine of Zetor Forterra 8641 tractor over rear power take-off. The measured tractor is almost new with less than 100 h worked. The measurements were realized for several ratios of diesel oil and rapeseed methyl ester (from pure diesel to pure rapeseed methyl ester). The engine was loaded by the dynamometer in several working points which were predefined by engine speed and its torque. The fuel consumption was measured by the flow meter in each of these points. The reduction of engine’s power parameters and the increase of specific fuel consumption are expected due to the nature of rapeseed methyl ester such as e.g. lower calorific value.

The present paper proposes a non-magnetic motor with a rotor rotated by the mechanical resonance energy of four bimorph cantilever beams excited by an electrostatic force. The use of a flexible material such as silicon rubber enables conversion of translational vibration to rotary movement in one direction. The rotational speed of the proposed motor increases in proportion to the input voltage when two bimorph beams are used, and the maximum rotational speed was found to be 6,804 rpm when the input voltage was set to 24.6 V. Next, the basic characteristics of a prototype motor with four bimorph cantilever beams, including rotational speed, output torque, and efficiency, were determined experimentally. The experimental results revealed that a maximum rotational speed of 6,370 rpm was obtained when the output torque was 19.6 uNm. The proposed motor was also observed to produce an output torque of 63.7 uNm when the rotational speed was 1,491 rpm. The maximum efficiency was 6.2% when the input power was 0.3 W. For the proposed motor, the volume and weight were reduced by approximately 35%, as compared with a motor from a previous study.

Tis paper provides an overview of possibilities for determining tractor’s engine load, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in real operating conditions. Theuse of accumulated database in tractor’s electronic control modules for the analysis of engine load, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions is analysed. The methodology for analysis of engine power, speed and exhaust emissions’ dependencies, also for analysis of engine exhaust emissions is presented. Tis paper presents testing results of the unit combined of tractor “Massey Ferguson MF 6499” and drilling machine “Vaderstad Rapid” by engine load, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Drilling process time, engine load, fuel consumption and exhaust emission components’ distribution are presented in different engine speed and cyclic fuel injection modes. Test results are analysed separately for technological drilling and work processes at the headland. In the technological process of drilling, if the tractor engine speed and, correspondingly, the transmission gear ratio were reduced to get the set working speed, fuel consumption decreased, CO and CO2 emissions varied slightly, but the NOx increased significantly. Significant part of exhaust emissions occurred at headlands. The conclusion is that the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, including harmful components, can be reduced only by complex optimization of technological processes and tractor operating modes.

Temperature Modeling

Even though actual composition of engine exhaust gases varies across diverse types of engines, such as gasoline, diesel, gas turbine and natural gas engines, engine exhaust temperature is always a major factor with strong impact on emission levels and catalytic converting efficiency. For spark ignition engines, exhaust temperature depends on various engine parameters, such as engine speed, engine load, A/F ratio, intake air temperature, coolant temperature and spark timing, etc. Due to complexity, it is impossible to share a unique analytical model of engine exhaust temperature. Instead, it is mostly modeled as a complicated nonlinear system. The model complexity increases significantly however accuracy cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, a simple linear model with accurate system identification could serve as a versatile alternative to represent the engine exhaust temperature, while engine parameters are subject to model identification to be adaptable across different types of engines. Combination of linear functions in terms of dominant engine parameters of engine speed and engine load is used for exhaust temperature modeling. To identify optimal parameters, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is applied. The discrete-time Markov chain is introduced where the stationary probability replaces posterior density in Monte Carlo integration for numerical integration. Compared with the high order nonlinear approaches, low computation cost is involved in the simplified model. Good agreement between the model prediction data and testing results is observed. The approach could be easily extended to other types of engines.
