  • Opportunities to Improve Efficiency and Other Engine Performance at Low Loads
    Proceedings of International Multidisciplinary Scientific-Remote Online Conference on Innovative Solutions and Advanced Experiments Samarkand Regional Center for Retraining and Advanced Training of Public Education Staff Samarkand, Uzbekistan JournalNX- A Multidisciplinary Peer Reviewed Journal ISSN: 2581-4230, Website: journalnx.com, June 18th & 19th, 2020 OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND OTHER ENGINE PERFORMANCE AT LOW LOADS Abdulaziz Khusanjonov, Qobulov Makhammadjon, Jaloldinov Gholibjon Masters of the Ferghana polytechnic institute Telephone: +998(91)6616436 [email protected] Annotation. The article analyzes a number of methods and opportunities to improve operational fuel efficiency and reduce the toxicity of internal combustion engine emissions with changes in working volume at the idling mode of the engine and low load mode of the engine. Keywords. Internal combustion engine, working volume, idling mode, low load mode, fuel efficiency, toxicity of engine emissions, engine control. There are a number of methods and means to increase the efficiency of the idling mode of the engine (IM) and low load mode of the engine (LLM). Today, one of the promising methods for solving the problem of increasing efficiency, and consequently economy, and reducing the concentration of products of incomplete combustion, as well as nitrogen oxides, at partial loads and idling is the method of turning off the cylinders or the method of controlling the engine by changing its working volume (under the engine’s working volume is meant the sum of the working volumes of those cylinders in which the processes of generating mechanical energy occur) [1]. Moreover, for the first time, work in this direction was associated with a change in volume by turning off part of the cylinders.

"Temporary downsizing" in the form of deactivation of the cylinders is used as an attractive compromise, as it allows to improve fuel consumption and at the same time it allows sufficient power reserve to meet the requirements of the driver, maintaining driving pleasure as well as comfort regarding noise and vibration levels. The paper aims to present an overview on the cylinder deactivation techniques focusing on the stakes and challenges related with their implementation. Keywords: cylinder deactivation, variable displacement, pumping losses, fuel saving, emissions reduction 1. Introduction Within the automotive industry, currently, there are intense debates about sustainable mobility as part of the larger concept regarding sustainable development of the human society. The stated goal is to reduce global warming, caused by increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which directly influence human society, limiting the chances of natural development of future generations. At the same time, it is desired to significantly reduce the impact of the road mobility on human health by reducing pollution. Therefore, solutions are being sought to efficiently reduce CO2 emissions in the exhaust gas, which in the case of internal combustion (IC) engines means reducing fuel consumption, in other words, increasing their effective efficiency.

  • 2001 S Class Coronavirus Update: New Contactless Services to Help Keep You Safe
    2001 s class Coronavirus update: New contactless services to help keep you safe. All this after i had driven 68 Miles one in rush hour traffic oy. They told me the car went to auction. Excellent from the time I called to inquiry about the car until I signed the paperwork. I loved the car and felt comfortable in the dealership and will also get all the service work done here. Highly recommended. They were very helpful,knowledgeable and pleasant!!! They fix cars of all types so I felt they knew what they were talking about with regards to this one. I am still thinking about buying it but the mileage and condition causes me a little concern at the price stated. All and all worth going to see the BMW. Very quick and the best car buying experience I have ever had. I will always recomend this place. The owner and his wife were super nice. Best experience on car lots ever called 4 days in advance saved vehicle so we could look. Big thing is he remembered the call we placed. Only car lot lot I have been to in years that was back to the good ole days of trust and straight to the point. In and out in under 3 hrs try that somewhere else they hold you all day. They were very responsive ,friendly and honest about everything i asked! The dealership is very small but a good place to find a hidden deal! Probably computer generated. I didn't get the truck I wanted but they gave me a 5 year newer truck that has no rust and a near perfect body for the same price thaks east coast auto.
