In these years, a problem of air pollution in a global scale becomes a matter of great concern. In such social situation, diesel engines are strongly required to reduce the NOx and particulate emission in the exhaust gas. In this paper, measurements of particulate emissions from a low speed two-stroke marine diesel engine were conducted with several kinds of diesel oil and a heavy fuel oil, to know the characteristics of particulate emissions at the present situation. The effects of engine load and sulfur content of the fuel on the particulate emission have been examined. The particulate emission from the test engine was measured by partial-flow dilution tunnel system, and particulate matter collected on the filter was divided into four components, SOF (soluble organic fraction), sulfate, bound water and dry soot, by Soxlet extraction and ion chromatograph. Results show that the particulate emission from the test engine operated with heavy fuel oil is three times as much as the value with diesel oil and that not only sulfate but SOF and dry soot concentration increase with the increase in fuel sulfur content. It is also found that the conversion rate from sulfur in fuel into sulfate in particulate matter is nearly independent of the sulfur content in the fuel and increases with the increase in the engine load.

Nanotechnology currently has an important role in reducing engine wear and improving fuel efficiency within engines using nanoparticle additives in engine oil. In this work, the effect of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticle additives, on the tribological performance of SAE 15W40 diesel engine oil, was studied. A tribological test was conducted using a four-ball tribotester. The results show that the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate of the ball reduced significantly by dispersing hBN nanoparticle additives in SAE 15W40 diesel engine oil; compared to without or with Al2O3 nanoparticle additives. This is in accordance with the significant reduction of wear scar diameter and smoother worn surfaces observed on the balls.

The results of modeling the impact of oil burning on the condition of the ship forced trunk piston diesel engine when using lubricants with different operating properties. The dependence of wear rate on oil fume, the quality of used lubricants and marine diesel forcing is obtained by modeling wear using the theory of planning experiments. The area of minimal wear has been determined. There has been detected the most efficient waste oil providing favorable conditions for resource-saving operation of the internal combustion engine. It is inferred that reduction of engine oil fume changes the main parameters of its aging. At the same time, the intensity of oil aging in main directions and of engine wear reduce from 0.75 to 2.25 g/(kW∙h), whereas the fume increases. Its further increase is accompanied by an increase in the rate of oil aging and engine wear. The detected "fracture" depending on И( g y) after passing the border g yopt = 2.25-2.5 g/(kW∙h) is stipulated by different ratio of oil exchange in the lubrication system and the ingress of gases into the crankcase. There has been determined the degree of oil burning, at which sludging and lacquer formation of the internal combustion engine is least intense. The smallest carbon deposits on pistons and in the crankcase of the engine can be observed when the diesel engine is operating in the zone of optimal carbonation. Experimentally, the dependence of tribotechnical properties, in particular, wear of insoluble products of oil aging has been detected at different degrees of oil burning. It is revealed that these characteristics also depend on the quality of the used fuels and lubricants and the conditions of formation and turnover of the oil film on the mirror of the cylinder, the thermal effect on it of the engine workflow. The result of simulation is the prediction of resource-saving operation of marine trunk diesel engines by maintaining oil fume at the optimal level.
