Engine Development

Both general and particular aspects of the application of electronic instrumentation in internal combustion engine development are discussed, and the work which has been carried out in the authors' establishment on instrumentation for dynamic measurements on the piston assembly is described, in particular, measurements of engine noise and vibration, and of displacement and temperature during operation, using telemetry systems, and making use of both radio and mechanical linkage techniques. The development of a new type of sub-miniature inductive transducer for non-contact displacement measurement under the extreme conditions inside a working piston is described, and the reasons making its development necessary discussed. Results obtained from a working engine showing piston movements as measured by several inductive transducers and transmitted over the linkage system are shown and compared to block vibration recordings made simultaneously; an initial interpretation of the very recent results is made. Finally, electronic methods developed for the static measurement of piston and ring properties are described and the results obtained discussed.
