The operating properties of exhaust valves under heavy thermal and mechanical loads are dependent on the strength of steel i.e. resistance to mechanical deformations under increased and high temperatures and high temperature corrosive action of hot exhaust gas. Long term operation of exhaust valves under the conditions of cyclic thermal and mechanical tensions in the environment of diesel exhaust gas where the main oxidizing components are oxygen, carbon dioxide and overheated steam leads to a corrosion of the steel surface and diffusion processes on the thin surface layer of steel, which, under extreme conditions, may lead to a deformation of the valve, an increased leakage of the combustion chamber and a damage or destruction of the engine. The investigations of the corrosion resistance of valve steel in diesel exhaust gas containing 5, 10 and 20 % of FAME were conducted on the durability test stand of BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute in Bielsko-Biała in the oxidation catalyst chamber under the conditions simulating the operation of exhaust valves in diesel engines. The tests have confirmed that the corrosion resistance of valve steel in diesel exhaust gas decreases with an increased content of FAME in the fuel and as the content of Cr, Si, Ni is reduced in the tested valve steel and the content of Mn is increased in the tested valve steel.

Currently the emission norms are becoming more stringent, continuous modifications are taking place in existing I.C engines as well as in after treatment devices (ATDs). Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) are the mandatory ATDs controlled electronically to optimize engine brake power, fuel consumption and emissions. The conversion efficiency of ATDs mainly depends on exhaust pressure, temperature, flow rate and fluid characteristics of exhaust gas. However, the installation of ATDs increases the exhaust back pressure in the exhaust system. The back pressure of engine also depends on the parameters like engine operating conditions, design of exhaust valves, valve lift time, exhaust gas dynamics and exhaust manifold design etc. In this paper the attempt is made to study the effect of back pressure on performance and emission of diesel engines equipped with EGR and DOC. Here we have not modified the intake and exhaust valves instead, we varied the back pressure of exhaust system using back pressure control valve (BPCV). BPCV is operated manually at three positions, they are 100%, 87.5% and 75% BPCV lifts. The readings are taken in different combinations of BPCV lifts and brake torque at 20, 40, 60, and 80 N-m. The results obtained shows variation of BPCV lift and brake torque effected on performance of engine, DOC and EGR operations as well as fuel consumption. The NOx is reduced by 15%; HC and CO are reduced significantly. However, there is an increase in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and exhaust smoke.

Out of the many components of four-stroke diesel engines the exhaust valves are under significant constant thermal and mechanical loads. They operate in a highly corrosive environment of hot exhaust gases. The durability of these elements is determined by the creep resistance of steel i.e. simultaneous resistance to mechanical deformations under high temperatures and the resistance of the surface to corrosive hot exhaust gases. Long term cyclic heating and burning of the exhaust valves in the exhaust gases whose main components are oxygen, carbon dioxide and superheated steam results in a simultaneous rrosion of the steel surface and core diffusion of carbon and alloy elements in the thin layer of the steel surface. In extreme operating conditions this may lead to a deformation of the exhaust valves, a reduction of the air tightness of the combustion chamber or damage or destruction of the engine. The paper discuses the results of investigations of the influence of Cr, Ni, Mn and Si on the oxidation rate of high alloy austenitic valve steel in the diesel oil exhaust gases containing 5% of biocomponents. The corrosion tests were conducted in the temperate of 973 K and 1173 K under the conditions simulating the operation of the exhaust valves in diesel engines under heavy thermal loads. Based on the conducted research significant influence of the said alloy elements on the oxidation rate of the valve steel in the exhaust gases has been observed. The tests were conducted on the engine durability test stand in Automotive Research and Development Institute BOSMAL in Bielsko-Biała.

Durability is the most pressing issue preventing the efficient commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stationary and transportation applications. A big barrier to overcoming the durability limitations is gaining a better understanding of failure modes for user profiles. In addition, durability test protocols for determining the lifetime of PEMFCs are important factors in the development of the technology. These methods are designed to gather enough data about the cell/stack to understand its efficiency and durability without causing it to fail. They also provide some indication of the cell/stack’s age in terms of changes in performance over time. Based on a study of the literature, the fundamental factors influencing PEMFC long-term durability and the durability test protocols for both PEMFC stationary and transportation applications were discussed and outlined in depth in this review. This brief analysis should provide engineers and researchers with a fast overview as well as a useful toolbox for investigating PEMFC durability issues.

For diesel engines (CIDI) the excessive use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) can reduce in-cylinder oxides of nitrogen (NOx) generation dramatically, but engine operation can also approach zones with high instabilities, usually accompanied with high cycle-to-cycle variations and deteriorated emissions of total hydrocarbon (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), and soot. A new approach has been proposed and tested to eliminate the influences of recycled combustibles on such instabilities, by applying an oxidation catalyst in the high-pressure EGR loop of a turbocharged diesel engine. The testing was directed to identifying the thresholds of stable operation at high rates of EGR without causing cycle-to-cycle variations associated with untreated recycled combustibles. The elimination of recycled combustibles using the oxidation catalyst showed significant influences on stabilizing the cyclic variations, so that the EGR applicable limits are effectively extended. The attainability of low NOx emissions with the catalytically oxidized EGR is also evaluated.
