Problem. In recent years, Ukraine has seen a sharp decline in ambient temperature, especially in the winter. Accordingly, this has a negative impact on the performance of car engines (difficult to start and prolonged warm-up), as the lion's share of private sector cars are parked in open areas and are subject to sudden temperature and humidity changes. Therefore, to partially solve this problem, our attention was focused on the air lines of the intake system of the gasoline engine, as this system is easily accessible and does not require significant design changes for its modernization. Goal. The purpose of the work is to ensure the ease of starting the gasoline engine and reduce the time to warm up. Methodology. Operation of the car in the conditions of the lowered temperatures, essentially promotes deterioration of its fuel economy. The basis of such a negative process of fuel consumption is incomplete combustion of the working mixture. And this is the deterioration of spraying and evaporation of fuel and increasing the duration of engine warm-up. At such low ambient temperatures, the effective operation of the car in a garage depends significantly on the method of its preparation (which should at a minimum cost of fuel and energy resources to ensure rapid and reliable engine start and accelerated warm-up). We decided to obtain thermal energy to heat the inlet air at no additional cost. This is the installation of a gasoline engine with a spark ignition of the incandescent coil in the intake air line, which will receive power from the battery. Such modernization of the system does not require major design changes and significant financial investments Unresolved issues remain to assess the effectiveness of the process of heating the air entering the combustion chamber of the engine to create a working mixture. It should be noted that the optimal heating of the engines is most appropriate to carry out (ie heating the coolant and oil in the engine lubrication system) not to the temperature of the operating thermal mode, but to the temperature that ensures its reliable start. Results. The scheme of connection of a heater of intake air in an onboard electric network of the car is presented. The results of the heat balance of the studied gasoline engine (using cold and heated air flow) during its heating are obtained. The optimum temperature of the warmed-up engine at which further economical operation of the car is possible is established. Originality. This spiral heater was first used to heat the intake air charge during the start-up and warm-up of a gasoline engine. Practical value. The developed heating equipment can be used for both gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines. It should be switched on only during engine start-up and warm-up.

In the normal low-speed engine operation, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of piston skirts and lubricant rheology reduce friction and prevent wear. In a few initial start up cycles, a very low engine speed and absence of EHL cause adhesive wear. This study models hydrodynamic and EHL of piston skirts in the initial very low cold engine start up speed by using a high viscosity lubricant. The 2-D Reynolds equation is solved and inverse solution technique is used to calculate the pressures and film thickness profiles in the hydrodynamic and EHL regimes, respectively. The work is extended to investigate the effects of three very low initial engine start up speeds on the transverse eccentricities of piston skirts, film thickness profiles and pressure fields in the hydrodynamic and EHL regimes. Despite using a viscous lubricant, thin EHL film profiles are generated at low start up speeds. This study suggests very low speed optimization in the cold initial engine start up conditions to prevent piston wear under isothermal conditions.

This paper is aimed to investigate the influence of dual-mass flywheel (DMF) kinetic parameters on driveline torsional vibration in engine start-up process, which prescribes the design requirements under start-up condition for DMF matching. On the basis of driveline excitation analysis during engine start-up, the analytical model of DMF driveline torsional vibration system is built and simulated. The vehicle start-up test is conducted and compared with the simulation results. On account of the partial nonstationary characteristic of driveline during start-up, the start-up process is separated into 3 phases for discussing the influence of DMF rotary inertia ratio, hysteresis torque, and nonlinear torsional stiffness on attenuation effect. The test and simulation results show that the DMF undergoes severe oscillation when driveline passes through resonance zone, and the research model is verified to be valid. The DMF design requirements under start-up condition are obtained: the appropriate rotary inertia ratio (the 1st flywheel rotary inertia-to-the 2nd flywheel rotary inertia ratio) is 0.7∼1.1; the interval of DMF small torsion angle should be designed as being with small damping, while large damping is demanded in the interval of large torsion angle; DMF should be equipped with low torsional stiffness when working in start-up process.

Using Bayesian Network is currently an effective solution to automotive fault diagnosis. However, Bayesian Networks can only be used to reason and calculate probability of component failure. During a fault troubleshooting process, apart from fault probability, diagnostic engineers also need consider the utilities of repair actions to make a sensible repair decision. The paper extends a Bayesian Network to a Bayesian influence diagram, which integrates the influences of both probability and utility. An automobile engine start-up failure is used as a case study to establish troubleshooting decision influence diagram. The diagram combines failure causes, decision actions with their utilities and is able to reason and calculate the expected utilities of each action. Troubleshooters choose faulty component with the highest utility to repair. The method ensures the most sensible repair action is selected in each troubleshooting step.

Blades for heavy duty engines with circumferential rotor grooves are designed such that radial contact is made between the blade teeth and rotor groove at steady state operation conditions. However, sometimes circumferential contact arises between neighboring blade shanks, which is often caused by blade root /rotor thermal expansion. In this case, the radial fixation will give the lower limit of blade frequency band, and the circumferential will give the upper one. The Blade frequency difference between these two fixations might reach about 200–500 Hz depending on blade airfoil and root sizes. When some excitation source (e.g., vane passing frequencies caused by up-stream and down-stream vane counts) has a frequency level situated between blade frequencies caused by radial and circumferential contact, such a case is the subject of the proposed approach. In order to assess how strongly the blade might be fixed under different conditions and how long it might be in resonance during engine start-up and subsequent loading, a 3D elastic-plastic transient analysis and corresponding frequency calculation of blade/rotor assembly is used. At engine start-up the circumferential (lateral) contact between neighboring blade roots is insignificant, and the radial contact between the rotor and the blade is dominant. The lateral contact spot between neighboring blade attachments during start-up appears due to different rates of blade/rotor heating. Further heating leads to an increase of the lateral contact spot areas. The closing of these contact surfaces starts from the outer root edge and spreads toward the inner one, leading to an increase of assembly natural frequencies. Engine loading and further heating lead to the appearance of a circumferential gap between the surfaces, causing the lateral contact to disappear during steady state. The blade root coupling switches again to the usual radial contact state, with the corresponding reduction of natural frequencies. Because the described phenomenon might occur for some time during every start-up and shut-down (from several minutes to couple of hours), it becomes even more severe from a dynamics standpoint if some natural frequency of coupled system crosses the exciting frequency. Examples of assembly frequency tuning are presented.
