The composition and principles of the digital measuring system was investigated on the basis of digital oil measuring method. Fly attitude-oil quality - measuring height data tables were generated by using UG software calculation of oil quantity characteristics. Then the oil surface angle under different fly attitude and overload was calculated through coordinate transformation method. Finally the amount of oil was calculated by three-dimensional liner interpolation method. Meanwhile, the free surface movement of lubricating oil tank under different overload was simulated through VOF numerical model. The results showed that using UG software to build model and generate fly attitude-oil quantity-measuring height data tables is accurate and useful. The VOF model method is a complement to digital measurement, which can track the phase interface of continuum, analyze the movement of oil qualitatively and calculate the dead volume of digital method.

Results of study on wear of piston rings, engine performance and exhaust gas emissions of palm oil methyl ester (POME) as a lubricating oil additive in a two-stroke gasoline engine test are presented. Piston ring wear behaviour was monitored as a function of running time. The power output and brake specific fuel consumption of the engine were measured at different speeds. Varnish/lacquer and carbon deposit on the spark plug electrode, cylinder and piston heads as well as exhaust gas (CO2, CO and O2) emission were measured. For comparison purposes, two types of commercial lubricating oils, viz. oil A and oil B were used. The wear resistance of piston rings with POME blending lubrication was found to be greater than the pure commercial oil lubrication. Other results indicate that the POME acts as an additive which improves the engine performance and exhaust emissions of two-stroke gasoline engines.

Presented in this paper is an in-depth analysis of the impact of engine start during various stages of engine warm up (cold, intermediate, and hot start stages) on the performance and emissions of a heavy-duty diesel engine. The experiments were performed at constant engine speeds of 1500 and 2000 rpm on a custom designed drive cycle. The intermediate start stage was found to be longer than the cold start stage. The oil warm up lagged the coolant warm up by approximately 10 °C. During the cold start stage, as the coolant temperature increased from ~25 to 60 °C, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) decreased by approximately 2% to 10%. In the intermediate start stage, as the coolant temperature reached 70 °C and the injection retarded, the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) and the brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) decreased by approximately 2% to 3%, while the friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) decreased by approximately 60%. In this stage, the NOx emissions decreased by approximately 25% to 45%, while the HC emissions increased by approximately 12% to 18%. The normalised FMEP showed that higher energy losses at lower loads were most likely contributing to the heating of the lubricating oil.

Used lubricating oils have been examined by a number of spectroscopic techniques to assess whether it might be possible to improve turn-around time for laboratory analyses or to develop a simple oil quality sensor which could be used in a service workshop. Investigation shows that the development of an oil quality sensor based on discrete wavenumber measurements in the mid-infrared region would not be warranted, but heptane-insolubles can be estimated from a single measurement in the near-infrared region, and this could form the basis of a simple sensor. Considerable information about the quality of a used oil is available through a thorough examination of its mid-infrared spectrum. Use of the computer program CIRCOM, which employs factor analysis followed by multiple linear regression, allowed useful correlations to be obtained for n-heptane—insolubles level and viscosity and total base number of the oil sample. This supplements and extends the previously described methods for obtaining information such as fuel and water levels by IR analysis.
