Annotation – The analysis of scientific publications over the past ten years in the direction of creating gas ICEs in Ukraine, operating on natural gas, biogas or similar low-calorie fuels. The objectives of the work summarize the results of studies on the use of model gas in a gas internal combustion engine operating on a power plant drive. Developed recommendations on biogas additives to natural gas depending on the power plant load, and to develop a fuel control algorithm. The article provides recommendations on setting up the power system and automatic regulation of a gas engine running on a mixture of natural gas (methane) and biogas. To solve the tasks, a gas-electric installation with a rated power of 30 kW was tested. Initially, the installation was equipped with an 8-cylinder gasoline engine with spark ignition and an electric generator. The base ICE was converted to purely gas with a compression ratio of 8.5. In the physical modeling of biogas to natural gas additives in the model gas, the volume fraction of carbon dioxide increased to 30 % with a decrease in the load. By calculation, determined a similar ratio of compressed natural gas and biogas additives. For the calculation, it assumed that natural gas contains 90 ... 95 % methane, and biogas 60 % methane and 40 % carbon dioxide. The possibility of using biogas with 60 % methane as an additive to natural gas in piston ICEs with spark ignition has been confirmed. It was found that with a decrease in load, the biogas fraction increase and replace up to 85 % of natural gas. When working on biogas additives, the values of the concentrations of hydrocarbons and residual oxygen in the exhaust gases were determined to control the setting of the gas equipment of the internal combustion engine. Under operating conditions, three test modes selected for the power plant: idle, 50 % load, rated mode. The research results can serve as the basis for creating a control algorithm for the supply of biogas additives to natural gas, depending on load changes.

The Impact

The article discusses the impact of ignition system damage on the emission of toxic subcategories in a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The aim of the work was to develop an analytical model of ignition system diagnostics, test performance and comparative analysis of the results of simulations and experiments. The model developed allows to analyse the basic parameters of the ignition system affecting the content of toxic substances in the exhaust. Experimental tests were carried out using the MAHA MGT5 exhaust gas analyser for four different combustion engines fueled with petrol at various operating conditions. During the tests, the content of toxic substances in the exhaust gas of a properly working engine and the engine working with damage to the ignition system were registered. The tests will be used to assess the impact of the damage of the spark-ignition engine on the emission of individual components of toxic fumes.

Energy Characteristics

Introduction. The use of an electromechanical transmission in the design of a tracked vehicle allows an increase in the complex indicator of mobility, an increase in the range, fuel efficiency, maximum speed, a decrease in acceleration time, etc. The improvement of these indicators is achieved mainly due to the different performance characteristics of the internal combustion engine and the energy characteristics of electrical machines. The latter fact makes it possible to ensure the operation of the power plant of the tracked vehicle in such a way as to avoid unfavorable operating modes of both the internal combustion engine and the elements of the electromechanical transmission (a generator, a traction electric motor, an energy storage) from the point of view of energy efficiency, and to realize the high efficiency of the entire system.Research methods. To improve the mobility and implement a rational strategy for electromechanical transmission control, it is necessary to have an idea of the effective modes of operation of the main elements of the power plant. As a way to solve this problem it is proposed to study the energy characteristics of the main elements of an electromechanical transmission using the developed mathematical model for various modes of movement of a tracked vehicle.Results. Modeling the motion of a tracked vehicle with an electromechanical transmission makes it possible, in addition to determining the transmission parameters, to formulate preliminary requirements for its characteristics.Discussion and conclusion. To solve these problems, it is necessary to simulate the process of movement of a tracked vehicle, taking into account the initial data that are adequate to real operating conditions.

Abstract The tremendous growth in the transportation sector as a result of changes in our ways of transport and a rise in the level of prosperity was reflected directly by the intensification of energy needs. Thus, electric vehicles (EV) have been produced to minimise the energy consumption of conventional vehicles. Although the EV motor is more efficient than the internal combustion engine, the well to wheel (WTW) efficiency should be investigated in terms of determining the overall energy efficiency. In simple words, this study will try to answer the basic question – is the electric car really energy efficient compared with ICE-powered vehicles? This study investigates the WTW efficiency of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles ICEVs (gasoline, diesel), compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGV) and EVs. The results show that power plant efficiency has a significant consequence on WTW efficiency. The total WTW efficiency of gasoline ICEV ranges between 11–27 %, diesel ICEV ranges from 25 % to 37 % and CNGV ranges from 12 % to 22 %. The EV fed by a natural gas power plant shows the highest WTW efficiency which ranges from 13 % to 31 %. While the EV supplied by coal-fired and diesel power plants have approximately the same WTW efficiency ranging between 13 % to 27 % and 12 % to 25 %, respectively. If renewable energy is used, the losses will drop significantly and the overall efficiency for electric cars will be around 40–70% depending on the source and the location of the renewable energy systems.

The Moment

A natural gas-fired micro-cogenerator (MCHP) based on a reciprocating internal combustion engine that drives an electric heat pump (EHP), MCHP/EHP, has been analyzed. It allows a high degree of flexibility in terms of operating conditions, due to the possibility to use the two devices separately supplying electric and thermal (heating and cooling) energy (CCHT, Combined Cooling Heating and Power). The MCHP/EHP is a gas cooling technology that can contribute to optimize the natural gas and electricity consumptions in those countries where the HVAC systems are widespread. In particular, our interest was focused on micro-cogenerators (electric power ≤ 15 kW) at the moment available on the market, based on reciprocating internal combustion engine, that could have a great diffusion in the near future for domestic and light commercial applications. Starting by the results of an intense experimental activity an exergetic, economic and environmental analysis has been carried out to compare the proposed MCHP/EHP system to the conventional one based on separate “production”.

The article presented analyses the impact of damage to the injection system on the emission of toxic subsumes in a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The work focuses on the basic elements of the injection system, which include injectors, throttle position sensor, coolant temperature sensor and lambda sensor. In addition, a catalytic reactor has been included in the context of its direct cooperation with the injection system under set conditions. The toxicity of exhaust gases of different spark-ignition engines fueled with petrol or gas in determined operating conditions using the MAHA MGT5 exhaust gas analyser was tested. The content of toxic substances in the exhaust gases was recorded for the correct settings of the injection system and for the engine working with damage to this system. The tests carried out will allow to assess the impact of the damage of the injection system on the toxicity of exhaust gases.

The market demand for vehicles with reduced energy consumption, as well as increasingly stringent standards limiting CO2 emissions, are the focus of a large number of research works undertaken in the analysis of the energy consumption of cars in real operating conditions. Taking into account the growing share of hybrid drive units on the automotive market, the aim of the article is to analyse the total unit energy consumption of a car operating in real road conditions, equipped with an advanced hybrid drive system of the PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) type. In this paper, special attention has been paid to the total unit energy consumption of a car resulting from the cooperation of the two independent power units, internal combustion and electric. The results obtained for the individual drive units were presented in the form of a new unit index of the car, which allows us to compare the consumption of energy obtained from fuel with the use of electricity supported from the car’s batteries, during journeys in real road conditions. The presented research results indicate a several-fold increase in the total unit energy consumption of a car powered by an internal combustion engine compared to an electric car. The values of the total unit energy consumption of the car in real road conditions for the internal combustion drive are within the range 1.25–2.95 (J/(kg · m)) in relation to the electric drive 0.27–1.1 (J/(kg · m)) in terms of instantaneous values. In terms of average values, the appropriate values for only the combustion engine are 1.54 (J/(kg · m)) and for the electric drive only are 0.45 (J/(kg · m)) which results in the internal combustion engine values being 3.4 times higher than the electric values. It is the combustion of fuel that causes the greatest increase in energy supplied from the drive unit to the car’s propulsion system in the TTW (tank to wheels) system. At the same time this component is responsible for energy losses and CO2 emissions to the environment. The results were analysed to identify the differences between the actual life cycle energy consumption of the hybrid powertrain and the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Test Procedure) homologation cycle.
