Abstract Diagnostics based on measuring of crankshaft instantaneous rotational speed allows precise location of damage to the injection system and detection of external disturbances. Active measurement of instantaneous rotational speed requires use of equipment with high sensitivity, permanent assembly at the ends of the crankshaft and the analysis of a very large amount of data. Presented method can be used for measurement of torsional vibration of crankshaft, indirectly through simultaneous measurement of the width of the pulses generated by the encoder disks. Momentary, relative displacement of both disks determines the angle of temporary crankshaft twisting. This paper presents first results of pulse width measurement, obtained by using described system.

Abstract The article discusses the problem of diagnostic informativeness of exhaust gas temperature measurements in turbocharged marine internal combustion engines. Theoretical principles of the process of exhaust gas flow in turbocharger inlet channels are analysed in its dynamic and energetic aspects. Diagnostic parameters are defined which enable to formulate general evaluation of technical condition of the engine based on standard online measurements of the exhaust gas temperature. A proposal is made to extend the parametric methods of diagnosing workspaces in turbocharged marine engines by analysing time-histories of enthalpy changes of the exhaust gas flowing to the turbocompressor turbine. Such a time-history can be worked out based on dynamic measurements of the exhaust gas temperature, performed using a specially designed sheathed thermocouple. The first part of the article discusses possibilities to perform diagnostic inference about technical condition of a marine engine with pulse turbocharging system based on standard measurements of exhaust gas temperature in characteristic control cross-sections of its thermal and flow system. Selected metrological issues of online exhaust gas temperature measurements in those engines are discusses in detail, with special attention being focused on the observed disturbances and thermodynamic interpretation of the recorded measuring signal. Diagnostic informativeness of the exhaust gas temperature measurements performed in steady-state conditions of engine operation is analysed in the context of possible evaluations of technical condition of the engine workspaces, the injection system, and the fuel delivery process.

One of the functions of engine fuels is the lubrication of engine injection equipment components. The elements of the injection system are lubricated only with the fuel used to power the engine; therefore, the lubricity and its impact on the elements of the engine injection system are an important issue. The share of biofuels to power internal combustion engines is constantly increasing, because EU Member States are required to use fuel with the addition of biocomponents to power vehicle engines. These fuels are more ecological compared to petroleum fuels. Therefore, it is also necessary to identify the lubricating properties of these fuels, which can significantly affect wear processes. In order to identify wear indicators, laboratory tests were carried out to determine the lubricating properties of biofuels based on vegetable oils in relation to diesel fuel. Tribological tests were carried out for the ball-disc friction node of 100Cr6 material, which is most often used in the construction of precision pairs of injection equipment. Comparative tests were carried out for samples immersed in a fuel bath on a CSM tribometer. The friction coefficient waveforms as a function of friction distance and sample load were determined. The measured force values indicate a significant impact of the fuel used on the operating conditions and consumption in the kinematic pair being the subject of the work.

Tribological investigations had been carried out on the plasma coating (Al2O3+ ZrO2) below dry and moist abrasion stipulations according to ASTM G134. Commercial motor oil 20W40 was used as a lubricant. At a rotational speed of 200 rpm, all experiments were carried out with ordinary loads of 10, 15 and 20 Nm. Electron microscopy for scanning and AFM was used to study of the layer sprayed with paint. The outcomes of the SEM and AFM evaluation confirmed that abrasive wear is normally decided by abrasive wear in dry abrasive conditions. The lubrication and moisture check confirmed a major reduce in wear from 10 to 15 N below regular loading, and a corrosion fee larger than 15 N was once discovered below regular loading. No impact of lubrication on wear used to discovered at high loading. No impact of lubrication on wear used to be discovered at high loads. It was also cited that the plasma coating manner to improve wear resistance. The experimental statistics acquired in this study are tremendous engineering functions such as reducing equipment and internal combustion engines.

The functional constructive variants of the Hyprex and Comprex compressors with pressure wave built until the present are reduced in number. Starting from this ascertainment, the paper proposes to highlight the optimization on joint functioning of existing pressure wave supercharger models with internal combustion engines. This is possible due to the efficiency of the supercharging process, realized with such superchargers, which depends on the correlation grade between the rotational speed of the supercharger and the pressure of the exhaust gasses that enter in the compressor's channels, reason due to, a single supercharger model can be capable to supercharge efficiently engines with different characteristics, if the optimal values for the driving speed of the pressure wave supercharger are identified (according to the method proposed in the work) and adapted (according the level of energetic and/or ecologic performances that the engine should achieve) for each type of engine apart.

Exceeding air pollution emission standards in large cities leads to a search of methods of reducing emissions and their neutralization. One of the ways to improve air quality is to increase green infrastructure in urban areas. It leads to an increase in the demand for work machines that process waste from tree care is. Mobile chopping shredders for tree branches are driven by internal combustion engines defined in the standard as drives of non-road mobile machines. In the case of spark-ignition internal combustion engines, these provisions are liberal. This leads to a low level of technical advancement of these drives characterized mainly by the carburettor fuel supply system. The article presents an innovative research method of the fuel injector of the injection unit, enabling mechatronisation of the combustion engine's injection system. The measured values make it possible to evaluate the fuel consumption depending on the developed (patent pending) innovative control systems for the chipper drive. Ultimately, the conducted research will enable the increase of the effectiveness of wood chipping grinding processes and reduction of harmful emissions.

Internal combustion engines are among the most commonly used propulsion units for drive systems in various industries such as land transportation, maritime transportation, and power generation. Their operation involves a continuous change of technical condition as a result of not only the combustion process but also their operation under conditions of variable load or ambient impact. It is therefore important to monitor the technical condition of internal combustion engines to ensure high performance and reliability over their lifetime. The article presents the test results obtained from incorrect operation of an internal combustion engine as a result of forced failures of the ignition and injection system. On this basis, a multicriteria comparison of the signal analysis of engine block vibrations was made, after the transformation of the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, by using the induction technique obtained from the operation of decision tree algorithms. For this purpose, the amplitude spectrum in the frequency domain, scaled to absolute values of discretization for which teaching and testing data tables were created for successive harmonics, was determined for the engine block vibration signal being tested. On the basis of the developed algorithm using decision trees, a multicriteria data table was analyzed for which a compatibility path for the analyzed engine block vibration signal is created. In this way, it is confirmed with a specified degree of effectiveness, depending on the point of operation of the engine resulting from its crankshaft speed, that there is a possibility of detecting a preset ignition or injection system malfunction in the technical condition of the internal combustion engine with a probability up to about 72%.
