Method and Device for Increasing the Service Life of Automotive Machinery Engines

Abstract

Improving the technical operation of internal combustion engines (ICE) of automotive equipment (ATT) is inextricably linked with an increase in the efficiency of their maintenance according to the actual state. The studies were carried out on internal combustion engines with resource wear of more than 80%. The method and devices for increasing the resource of the internal combustion engine ATT were proposed in this work, differing from those known in that this process is carried out in a complex way by monitoring the condition of the oil using several sensors. Lightweight and portable unit, consisting of two modules, designed for express analysis of motor oils used in internal combustion engines. Sampling from the sump-crankcase of the operated ATT (without taking it out of service) in the amount of 100 ml. is carried out with a conventional syringe with a hose, through the hole of the dipstick for controlling the oil level. Temperature sensors; contact capacitive and non-contact capacitive; turbidity; induction magnetically sensitive, pH used in the first module of the device to determine turbidity, acidity, the presence of liquid and fine metal particles, etc. Information transmitted from the sensor is displayed on the information screen of the installation, as well as on the computer monitor in the form of graphs. This installation can work autonomously, which will allow it to be used in the field. A method for adding fresh oil to the ICE lubrication system, taking into account the draining of exactly that part of the oil where the main pollutants (deposit) are located, has been developed. Timely diagnostics of the condition and quality of motor oils will allow at an early stage to assess the degree of contamination, and partial draining of the sediment at the bottom of the oil pan will prevent possible breakdowns, and thereby significantly extend the life of the internal combustion engine and ATT as a whole.
