Internal combustion engines have been improved markedly in recent years through efforts to conserve resources, reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. In this regard, the authors have been working to reduce friction and improve the seizure properties of the crankshaft main journal and main bearing. These mechanical components of internal combustion engines incur large friction losses. In order to reduce friction, journals have been coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which has been reported to reduce friction in the fluid lubrication regime in recent years. Another current issue of journals and bearings is the need to improve seizure resistance. Therefore, these properties were evaluated for material combinations of aluminium alloy bearings and DLC-coated journals, which have low affinity. The results revealed that friction was reduced under a fluid lubrication regime and seizure resistance was improved under a mixed lubrication regime.

The article reviews four existing technologies for replacing engine oil and a method for determining its suitability for improving economic efficiency. It is established that the oil is replaced according to the need in accordance with the defect indicators. This technology of oil condition is characterized by a more complete use of its resource. The frequency of replacement is determined by the indicators of condition, which is monitored by special sensors built into the engine lubrication system. However, the difficulty of using this technology is due to the lack of high-quality devices for monitoring the state of running engine oil in the engine.

Quality, reliability and fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICE) substantially depend upon optimum choice of lubrication system and tribocontact design and a lubricant liquid. This paper describes a quasistatic method of analysis of ICE lubrication systems for Newtonian and non-Newtonian oils. The method allows for both transient and steady-state conditions.

Blowback of engine oil suspended in combustion gases, when the gas flows from the piston second land back into the combustion chamber, is believed to contribute to oil consumption and hydrocarbon emissions in internal combustion engines. Oil accumulation in the region between top and second compression rings is a factor that influences this phenomenon. The effects of individual parameters, such as oil film thickness and viscosity, however, have still not been understood. The present study was aimed at constructing an experimental setup to study the effect of oil film thickness on oil accumulation in the second land of internal combustion engines. Due to the inherent difficulties of experimentation on production engines, a modeled piston-cylinder assembly was constructed. Total oil accumulation in the modeled second land after a single piston stroke was measured and compared to oil consumption in operating engines.

Обоснована актуальность исследований рабочих процессов самоочищающегося фильтра, предназначенного для очистки моторного масла в двигателях внутреннего сгорания. Приведена методика расчета параметров регенерации автоматизированных фильтров, сформированных на базе модулей СРФ-60 и СРФД-120, позволяющая осуществлять выбор гидродинамического режима и времени обратной промывки фильтрующих элементов с учетом условий функционирования маслоочистителей. Выделено влияние на эффективность регенерации фильтровального процесса, идентифицированного удельной интенсивностью удаления дисперсной фазы из масла, гидродинамики (числа Рейнольдса) и относительного времени обратной промывки, адгезионных свойств отложений, особенностей конструкции фильтра, дисперсности загрязнений. Представлены доказательства адекватности расчетно-экспериментальных зависимостей, полученных по результатам лабораторных испытаний модели фильтра, и соответствия их данным эксплуатационных натурных испытаний самоочищающихся фильтров на судах. Показана возможность расчета и корректировки срока автономной работы самоочищающегося фильтра в смазочных системах судовых дизелей с учетом форсирования дизеля, качества применяемых горюче-смазочных материалов, интенсивности старения масла, срабатывания входящих в него присадок и уровня загрязнения крупнозернистыми механическими примесями. Дано заключение, что комбинированная очистка масла в двигателях внутреннего сгорания с использованием байпасной схемы сепарирования и центрифугирования облегчает функционирование полнопоточно подключаемых в систему смазки автоматизированных фильтров и позволяет увеличить срок автономной работы их до 5 тыс. ч. При этом надежная и эффективная работа очистителей возможна в самых жестких условиях загрязнения и старения масла.The relevance of research on the working processes of a self-cleaning filter intended for cleaning engine oil in internal combustion engines is substantiated. A methodology for calculating the regeneration parameters of automated filters generated by the SRF-60 and SRFD-120 modules is presented. The influence on the efficiency of the regeneration of the filtering process, which is identified by the specific intensity of the removal of the dispersed phase from the oil, the hydrodynamics (Reynolds number) and the relative backwash time, the adhesive properties of the sediments, the design features of the filter, and the dispersion of contaminants are highlighted. The evidence of the adequacy of the calculated experimental dependencies obtained from laboratory tests of the filter model and their compliance with the data of field tests of self-cleaning filters on ships is presented. The possibility of calculating and adjusting the autonomous work of the self-cleaning filter in the lubrication systems of marine diesel engines is shown taking into account the forcing of the diesel engine, the quality of the fuels and lubricants used, the aging rate of the oil, the operation of its additives and the level of contamination with coarse-grained mechanical admixture. It is concluded that the combined cleaning of oil in internal combustion engines using a bypass separation and centrifugation scheme facilitates the functioning of fully automated filters in the lubrication system and allows them to increase their battery life up to five thousand hours. Reliable and efficient operation of the purifiers is possible in the harshest conditions of oil pollution and aging.

Today, the problem of energy shortage and climate change has urgently motivated the development of research engaged in improving the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICEs). Although many constructive alternatives—including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and low-carbon fuels such as biofuels or hydrogen—are being put forward, they are starting from a very low base, and still face significant barriers. Nevertheless, 85–90% of transport energy is still expected to come from combustion engines powered by conventional liquid fuels even by 2040. Therefore, intensive passion for the improvement of engine thermal efficiency and decreasing energy loss has driven the development of reliable approaches and modelling to fully understand the underlying mechanisms. In this paper, literature surveys are presented that investigate the relative advantages of technologies mainly focused on minimizing energy loss in engine assemblies, including pistons and rings, bearings and valves, water and oil pumps, and cooling systems. Implementations of energy loss reduction concepts in advanced engines are also evaluated against expectations of meeting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compliance in the years to come.
