THE CONCEPT OF COMBUSTION PROCESS ORGANISATION IN A BOXER TWO-STROKE DIESEL ENGINE AT A HIGH LEVEL OF BOOSTING

Abstract

Based on the analysis and synthesis of previously performed theoretical and practical studies, the paper proposes a concept of combustion process organization in a boxer two-stroke diesel engine at a high level of boosting. Such diesel engines are produced in Ukraine and are widely used in land, sea and rail transport, as diesel generator plants. The implementation of this concept will ensure the reduction of the thermal stress of the cylinder piston group for these diesel engines, while improving fuel efficiency. The features of the organization of the working process in a boxer two-stroke diesel engine are briefly considered. The contribution of Ukrainian, Russian and American scientists to the development and improvement of their mixing efficiency is noted. Following the purpose of the research, which determines the choice of directions for the development and implementation of technical solutions for the simultaneous reduction of fuel consumption and thermal tension of the cylinder-piston group when forcing a boxer two-stroke diesel engine, it is proposed to use the amount of released heat as a criterion for evaluating the quality of combustion. Based on the results of earlier studies, conceptual foundations for increasing the efficiency of the combustion process of a highly boosted boxer two-stroke diesel engine have been developed, which are directly related to the air supply, fuel supply, the rationale for choosing the shape of the combustion chamber are determined by the amount of heat released during combustion and the nature of its change in the crankshaft rotation angle.
