STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF PARTS SURFACE REGENERATING ADDITIVE ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Abstract

As the chemical industry increasingly affects daily life, another alternative to engine maintenance is being offered - oil additives. According to many manufacturers of these additives, under extreme lubrication conditions and at high pressures and high temperatures, this mixture diffuses into the metal surface. At high pressures and high temperatures, a ceramic layer is formed from the components of the oil additive. This layer partially compensates for the wear of the cylinder surfaces and reduces the gap between the piston and the cylinder. The research aim was to evaluate the influence of regenerating oil additive on engine performance. Research methodology and equipment were prepared for conducting experimental studies. Experimental measurements showed an increase in engine compression and 3.3% reduction in average fuel consumption after using the regenerative oil additive. No significant changes were observed in the engine power and torque results. At engine speed of 2000 rpm, after using the regenerating oil additive, the emission of nitrogen oxides increased by 9.1%, and the emission of carbon monoxide decreased by 10.2%.
