  • Assessing Steam Locomotive Dynamics and Running Safety by Computer Simulation
    TRANSPORT PROBLEMS 2015 PROBLEMY TRANSPORTU Volume 10 Special Edition steam locomotive; balancing; reciprocating; hammer blow; rolling stock and track interaction Dāvis BUŠS Institute of Transportation, Riga Technical University Indriķa iela 8a, Rīga, LV-1004, Latvia Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ASSESSING STEAM LOCOMOTIVE DYNAMICS AND RUNNING SAFETY BY COMPUTER SIMULATION Summary. Steam locomotives are preserved on heritage railways and also occasionally used on mainline heritage trips, but since they are only partially balanced reciprocating piston engines, damage is made to the railway track by dynamic impact, also known as hammer blow. While causing a faster deterioration to the track on heritage railways, the steam locomotive may also cause deterioration to busy mainline tracks or tracks used by high speed trains. This raises the question whether heritage operations on mainline can be done safely and without influencing the operation of the railways. If the details of the dynamic interaction of the steam locomotive's components are examined with computerised calculations they show differences with the previous theories as the smaller components cannot be disregarded in some vibration modes. A particular narrow gauge steam locomotive Gr-319 was analyzed and it was found, that the locomotive exhibits large dynamic forces on the track, much larger than those given by design data, and the safety of the ride is impaired. Large unbalanced vibrations were found, affecting not only the fatigue resistance of the locomotive, but also influencing the crew and passengers in the train consist. Developed model and simulations were used to check several possible parameter variations of the locomotive, but the problems were found to be in the original design such that no serious improvements can be done in the space available for the running gear and therefore the running speed of the locomotive should be limited to reduce its impact upon the track.

  • Poppet Valve
    POPPET VALVE A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most applications a pressure differential helps to seal the valve and in some applications also open it. Other types Presta and Schrader valves used on tires are examples of poppet valves. The Presta valve has no spring and relies on a pressure differential for opening and closing while being inflated. Uses Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the intake and exhaust ports. Poppet valves are also used in many industrial process from controlling the flow of rocket fuel to controlling the flow of milk[[1]]. The poppet valve was also used in a limited fashion in steam engines, particularly steam locomotives. Most steam locomotives used slide valves or piston valves, but these designs, although mechanically simpler and very rugged, were significantly less efficient than the poppet valve. A number of designs of locomotive poppet valve system were tried, the most popular being the Italian Caprotti valve gear[[2]], the British Caprotti valve gear[[3]] (an improvement of the Italian one), the German Lentz rotary-cam valve gear, and two American versions by Franklin, their oscillating-cam valve gear and rotary-cam valve gear. They were used with some success, but they were less ruggedly reliable than traditional valve gear and did not see widespread adoption. In internal combustion engine poppet valve The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the valve stem out one end.

  • Vvt Solenoid
    PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT VVT SOLENOID What does a Variable Valve Timing Solenoid do? The Variable Valve Timing Solenoid (VVTS) controls the oil flow to control the action of the Sprocket, which shifts the position of the camshaft. The position is varied based on the car’s computer commands to increase or decrease the engine’s valve timing. Where are Variable Valve Timing Solenoids located? The VVTS are usually located on or around the cylinder head block. Will a malfunctioning Variable Valve Timing Solenoid illuminate the check engine light or affect vehicle operation? Yes, a malfunctioning VVTS may cause the check engine light to be illuminated and may trigger multiple codes. What are the common causes of failure? VVTS can fail due to low engine oil levels, clogs due to oil sludge, and/or irregularly changed engine oil and filters. How to determine if Variable Valve Timing Solenoids are malfunctioning: Possible indications of a malfunctioning or failed VVTS include: an illuminated check engine light, engine noise and/or stalling, rough idling, and general poor performance. What makes Holstein Variable Valve Timing Solenoids the best? • Holstein focuses on using only the highest quality materials, manufactured to exacting standards for an aftermarket product that is truly built to match or exceed the OE part • Holstein Variable Valve Position Sensor line has superior coverage for domestic and import applications • Designed to maximize engine performance and fuel efficiency • 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Warranty on all Holstein Parts VVT Sensors HOLSTEINPARTS.COM | 1-800-893-8299.

  • 2-Stroke Scavenging in Conventional and Minimally-Modified 4-Stroke
    inventions Article 2-Stroke Scavenging in Conventional and Minimally-Modified 4-Stroke Engines for Heavy Duty Applications at Low to Medium Speeds Dirk Rueter Institute of Measurement and Sensor Technology, University of Applied Sciences Ruhr-West, D-45479 Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany; [email protected] Received: 14 June 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 9 August 2019 Abstract: The transformation of a standard 4-stroke cylinder head into a torque-improved and gradually more efficient 2-stroke design is discussed. The concept with an effective loop scavenging via an extended inlet valve holds promise for engines at low- to medium-rotational speeds for typical designs of conventional 4-stroke cylinder heads. Calculations, flow simulations, and visualizations of experimental flows in relevant geometries and time scales indicate feasibility, followed by a small engine demonstration. Based on presumably long-forgotten and outdated patents, and the central topic of this contribution, an additional jockey rides on the inlet valve’s disk (facing away from the combustion chamber) and reshapes the in-cylinder flow into a reverted tumble. A quick gas exchange with a well-suppressed shortcut into the open exhaust is approached. For overall mechanical efficiency, the required charge pressure for scavenging is of paramount importance due to the short scavenging time and the intake’s reduced cross-section. Herein, still acceptable charging pressures are reported for scavenging periods equivalent to low or medium rotational speeds, as characteristic for heavy-duty applications. Using widely available components (charger, direct injection, variable camshaft angles) an increased engine efficiency is suggested due to the 2-stroke’s downsizing effect (relatively less internal friction as well as the promise of more torque and a decreased size).

  • HSDI Diesel Engines - Gas Exchange Optimization and the Impact on Reducing Emission
    HSDI Diesel Engines - Gas Exchange Optimization and the Impact on Reducing Emission ABSTRACT All future powertrain developments must consider the primary tasks of achieving the required emission levels and CO2- values, while still providing comfort, good drivability, high reliability and affordable costs. One method for improving fuel economy in passenger vehicles that is beginning to be examined is the incorporation of downsizing. To achieve the levels of engine performance that will be required, increasing the boost pressure and/or rated speed is mandatory. When the boost pressure or the rated speed is increased, the result is an increase in the mass flow rate through the intake and exhaust ports and valves. Considering the impact of these changes, the port layout of the system has to be reanalyzed. The primary purpose of this study is to examine these effects on the port layout on a modern diesel combustion system and to present a promising concept. The study included flow measurements, PIV measurements of intake flow, CFD simulations of the flow field during intake and results from the thermodynamic test bench. One of the key aspects that needed to be examined was to demonstrate flow quality’s impact on combustion. A new port concept was developed as a result of this study that utilizes a variable valve lift to provide a highly variable swirl. This design enables a homogenous flow field in the cylinder, with excellent flow coefficient. The design also allows an increase in volumetric efficiency combined with a reduction in flow losses. INTRODUCTION The prerequisites for advanced concepts of High Speed Direct Injection (HSDI) Diesel Engines require that due to the rapidly increasing price of crude oil they must improve fuel economy and the heat-trapping ability of carbon dioxide emissions.
