This article describes the development of MAHLE piston technology with the goal of meeting increasing requirements of advanced, highly efficient gasoline engines. The new EVOLITE® lightweight piston from MAHLE is a continuation of the development of its predecessor, the EVOTEC® 2, and is based on the EVOTEC® design concept. This concept differs from the design approach of previous decades in that the piston geometry has inverted asymmetry on the thrust and antithrust side. A narrow thrust side is combined with a wide, elastic antithrust side for skirt guidance. The light, robust EVOTEC® 2 piston is available with ring carrier or cooling gallery - Figure 1. The EVOLITE® concept represents further refinement of the EVOTEC® design concept by increasing asymmetry further. By geometrically optimizing the box wall connection between the skirt and crown, the lifetime has been increased by up to 8 times in comparison with the EVOTEC® 2, depending on stress location, while the weight has been reduced by up to 5%. Friction, which is critical for low CO2 emissions, is also reduced with this new piston type.

An experimental study of the spray structure from air-shrouded dual-stream injectors with different air mixing mechanisms was carried out extensively to understand the spray characteristics of dual-stream port injectors for applications to four-valve gasoline engines. The injectors were tested under both steady and transient conditions at different injection pressures and air shrouding pressure differentials. The global spray structure was visualized using the planar laser Mie scattering technique and spray atomization processes were characterized by the phase-Doppler anemometry method. The experimental results showed that spray atomization characteristics are improved markedly by the air-shrouding technique and also strongly dominated by the air-mixing mechanisms. When the air flows into the injector tip mainly from the radial direction, two streams of the spray are forced to merge together and as a result a single-stream spray is formed. When the radial velocity component of the air is reduced and the air is made to mix well with the fuel inside the injector tip, however, the two streams of the spray are well separated over different injection conditions. Moreover, other spray parameters are also modified by the air shrouded into the injector, which must be optimized in order to achieve the best performance of the air-shrouded injector.

Nowadays, the creation of remotely-piloted aerial vehicles for various purposes is regarded as one of the most relevant and promising trends of aircraft development. FAU "25 State Research Institute of Chemmotology of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation" have studied the operation features of aircraft piston engines and developed technical requirements for motor oil for piston four-stroke UAV engines, as well as a new engine oil M-5z/20 AERO in cooperation with NPP KVALITET, LLC. Based on the complex of qualification tests, the stated operational properties of the experimental-industrial batch of M-5z/20 AERO oil are generally confirmed.
