The technical and environmental parameters of the diesel internal combustion engine using two new samples of biofuels SAMPLE 1 and SAMPLE 2 were evaluated in this paper. SAMPLE 1 and SAMPLE 2 biofuels were tested on a LOMBARDINI LDW 502 internal combustion engine, which was loaded on a dynamometer according to the applicable national and international standards. This method can also be applied to marine engines and contribute to a higher level of marine ecology. The result of the testing was to determine the impact of tested biofuels on the technical parameters engine power and torque and the environmental parameters emissions of smoke, nitrogen oxides, and economy of the internal combustion engine-specific fuel consumption. From the measured data, another parameter was calculated, such as the injected fuel dose and the overall efficiency of the internal combustion engine. The results show that the new samples of SAMPLE 1 and SAMPLE 2 biofuels tested could be a suitable alternative to standard diesel.

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.

The results of modeling the impact of oil burning on the condition of the ship forced trunk piston diesel engine when using lubricants with different operating properties. The dependence of wear rate on oil fume, the quality of used lubricants and marine diesel forcing is obtained by modeling wear using the theory of planning experiments. The area of minimal wear has been determined. There has been detected the most efficient waste oil providing favorable conditions for resource-saving operation of the internal combustion engine. It is inferred that reduction of engine oil fume changes the main parameters of its aging. At the same time, the intensity of oil aging in main directions and of engine wear reduce from 0.75 to 2.25 g/(kW∙h), whereas the fume increases. Its further increase is accompanied by an increase in the rate of oil aging and engine wear. The detected "fracture" depending on И( g y) after passing the border g yopt = 2.25-2.5 g/(kW∙h) is stipulated by different ratio of oil exchange in the lubrication system and the ingress of gases into the crankcase. There has been determined the degree of oil burning, at which sludging and lacquer formation of the internal combustion engine is least intense. The smallest carbon deposits on pistons and in the crankcase of the engine can be observed when the diesel engine is operating in the zone of optimal carbonation. Experimentally, the dependence of tribotechnical properties, in particular, wear of insoluble products of oil aging has been detected at different degrees of oil burning. It is revealed that these characteristics also depend on the quality of the used fuels and lubricants and the conditions of formation and turnover of the oil film on the mirror of the cylinder, the thermal effect on it of the engine workflow. The result of simulation is the prediction of resource-saving operation of marine trunk diesel engines by maintaining oil fume at the optimal level.

This paper deals with the use of the internal combustion piston engine, which is a drive unit for micro-cogeneration units. The introduction is a brief statement of the nature of gas mixture compositions that are useful for the purposes of combustion engines, together with the basic physical and chemical properties relevant to the burning of this gas mixture. Specifically, we will discuss low-energy gases (syngases) and mixtures of natural gas with hydrogen. The second section describes the conversion of the Lombardini LGW 702 combustion engine that is necessary for these types of combustion gases. Before the experimental measurements, a simulation in the Lotus Engine simulation program was carried out to make a preliminary assessment of the impact on the performance of an internal combustion engine. The last section of the paper presents the experimental results of partial measurements of the performance and emission parameters of an internal combustion engine powered by alternative fuels.

The performance of an internal-combustion engine is directly related to the fuel quantity that can react with the oxygen in the air during the exothermic oxidation step, also called combustion. Thus, the amount of fuel introduced is intrinsically linked to the air volume that can be admitted into the cylinder (air filling of the cylinder). Hence keeping the air in the cylinder is one of the most important concepts to predict in simulations. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of air filling depends on many parameters. Also, the discharge coefficients, and the impact of the piston presence near the valves on the flow, during valve overlap are investigated. For this, a digital flow bench is constructed to reproduce a series of tests carried out on a flow test bench functioning as a result of the reduction in the pressure. In this paper, the engine studied is a 125 cm3 single-cylinder four-stroke atmospheric type with two valves. Thus, the idea of this paper is to treat the case of engines with large valve overlaps as small engines or engines with variable valve timing. First, traditional tests through a single valve are performed. The forward and reverse directions are systematically tested to ensure proper operation of the digital testing, and to determine the differences between tests and simulations in the case of conventional configurations. Then, the flow through the entire cylinder head, i.e. the intake valve–cylinder with piston–exhaust valve system, is tested and studied. The aim is to compare the results obtained by the tests and the simulations during the valve overlap period. Significant differences were highlighted between the rates measured in one-dimensional simulations and in the tests. It was noteworthy that the one-dimensional code overestimated the mass passing through the system during valve overlap by about one fifth of the estimated mass passing through the system from the results obtained with the test rig.

Abstract. The prospective future adoption of hydrogen to power the road transportation sector could greatly improve tropospheric air quality but also raises the question whether the adoption would have adverse effects on stratospheric ozone. The possibility of these undesirable impacts must be fully evaluated to guide future policy decisions. Here we evaluate the possible impact of a future (2050) H2-based road transportation sector on stratospheric composition and chemistry, especially on stratospheric ozone, with the MOZART chemical transport model. Since future growth is highly uncertain we evaluate the impact for two world evolution scenarios, one based on a high emitting scenario (IPCC A1FI) and the other on a low emitting scenario (IPCC B1), as well as two technological options: H2 fuel cells and H2 internal combustion engines. We assume a H2 leakage rate of 2.5% and a complete market penetration of H2 vehicles in 2050. The model simulations show that a H2-based road transportation sector would reduce stratospheric ozone concentrations as a result of perturbed catalytic ozone destruction cycles. The magnitude of the impact depends on which growth scenario the world evolves and which H2 technology option is applied. For the same world evolution scenario, stratospheric ozone decreases more in the H2 fuel cell scenarios than in the H2 internal combustion engine scenarios because of the NOx emissions in the latter case. If the same technological option is applied, the impact is larger in the A1FI emission scenario. The largest impact, a 0.54% decrease in annual average global mean stratospheric column ozone, is found with a H2 fuel cell type road transportation sector in the A1FI scenario; whereas the smallest impact, a 0.04% increase in stratospheric ozone, is found with applications of H2 internal combustion engine vehicles in the B1 scenario. The impacts of the other two scenarios fall between the above two bounding scenarios. However, the magnitude of these changes is much smaller than the increases in 2050 stratospheric ozone expected as stratospheric ozone recovers due to the limits in ozone depleting substance emissions imposed in the Montreal Protocol.

Abstract. The prospective future adoption of molecular hydrogen (H2) to power the road transportation sector could greatly improve tropospheric air quality but also raises the question of whether the adoption would have adverse effects on the stratospheric ozone. The possibility of undesirable impacts must be fully evaluated to guide future policy decisions. Here we evaluate the possible impact of a future (2050) H2-based road transportation sector on stratospheric composition and chemistry, especially on the stratospheric ozone, with the MOZART (Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers) model. Since future growth is highly uncertain, we evaluate the impact of two world evolution scenarios, one based on an IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) high-emitting scenario (A1FI) and the other on an IPCC low-emitting scenario (B1), as well as two technological options: H2 fuel cells and H2 internal combustion engines. We assume a H2 leakage rate of 2.5% and a complete market penetration of H2 vehicles in 2050. The model simulations show that a H2-based road transportation sector would reduce stratospheric ozone concentrations as a result of perturbed catalytic ozone destruction cycles. The magnitude of the impact depends on which growth scenario evolves and which H2 technology option is applied. For the evolution growth scenario, stratospheric ozone decreases more in the H2 fuel cell scenarios than in the H2 internal combustion engine scenarios because of the NOx emissions in the latter case. If the same technological option is applied, the impact is larger in the A1FI emission scenario. The largest impact, a 0.54% decrease in annual average global mean stratospheric column ozone, is found with a H2 fuel cell type road transportation sector in the A1FI scenario; whereas the smallest impact, a 0.04% increase in stratospheric ozone, is found with applications of H2 internal combustion engine vehicles in the B1 scenario. The impacts of the other two scenarios fall between the above two boundary scenarios. However, the magnitude of these changes is much smaller than the increases in 2050 stratospheric ozone projected, as stratospheric ozone is expected to recover due to the limits in ozone depleting substance emissions imposed in the Montreal Protocol.

The present paper discusses the impact of a new type of turbocharger, namely, the Active Control Turbocharger (ACT). The aim of this work was to prove the advantage of this type of turbocharger over the current state-of-the-art: the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). This was achieved by carrying out a comparison between two commercial Diesel engine models (through the use of a commercial engine simulation software), which belong to the same family: one 10 litre engine equipped with VGT (originally) was consecutively compared to the same model of engine modified for ACT operation and through the integration of the ACT into the 81 version of the same engine in order to demonstrate the ACT’s downsizing capability. The study has been carried out for speeds between 800 and 2000 rpm, and a fuel-air ratio range of between 0.017 and 0.057. The results showed that the actuation of the turbine in ACT mode (through the sinusoidal regulation of the turbine inlet area with each incoming exhaust gas pressure pulse) increases greatly the energy available at the turbine inlet. This leads to an increase of the boost pressure at the intake of the engine by an average 30%. The specific fuel consumption was found to be similar throughout engine operating range with a penalty of up to 10% for the ACT engine of the same size (10 litre). A comparison was then carried out between the 10 litre VGT engine and the 8 litre ACT engine. The 8 litre has been found to produce up to 37% more torque and horse power under 1400 rpm and obtained very similar performance to the 10 litre VGT engine at higher speeds. At constant power output between the 8 and 10 litre engines, it has been found that the fuel consumption was decreased by a maximum of 9% when using the 8 litre engine. The results of the present study were encouraging with respect to the potential of ACT to downsize the internal combustion engine.
