Recently, downsized turbocharged
direct-injection engines with
high efficiency and power have drawn attention worldwide. However,
abnormal combustion can occur when these engines are driven at low
speeds with a high load, causing potentially fatal damage to these
engines. This phenomenon pre-ignition is known to be caused by lubricant
droplets, and the calcium, zinc, and molybdenum components of the
lubricant affect the pre-ignition. We performed several experiments
to determine the effects of these components, various fuels, and different
coolant temperatures on the occurrence of pre-ignition. We also carried
out a separate analysis to investigate and compare how each lubricant
component affects the frequency and intensity of pre-ignition with
each fuel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
