Abstract

The paper deals with the issue of determining the fuel efficiency and toxicity of exhaust gases of power equipment of road machines operating in traction modes, namely, plow and plow-brush snowplows based on a pneumatic wheeled tractor. The object of research is fuel efficiency and toxicity of exhaust gases of power equipment. The purpose of the study is to experimentally determine the external speed characteristics of a 4Ч11,0 / 12,5 diesel engine (D-240, D-241, D-242, D-243 families), namely: maximum power Ne, maximum torque Mк; hourly consumption of fuel Gпал and air Gпов, specific effective fuel consumption ge; concentrations of harmful substances in the exhaust gases: carbon monoxide CO, hydrocarbon compounds CmHn, nitrogen oxides NOx and opacity N of the exhaust gases. The paper presents the results of experimental studies to determine the energy performance (maximum power Ne and maximum torque Mк) of a diesel engine (4Ч11,0/12,5 (D-242)) of power equipment; fuel efficiency indicators (hourly fuel consumption Gпал and specific effective fuel consumption ge); hourly air consumption Gпов; concentrations of harmful substances in the exhaust gases: carbon monoxide CO, hydrocarbon compounds CmHn, nitrogen oxides NOx and opacity N of the exhaust gases. Which are obtained with the position of the fuel supply control, which corresponds to the maximum fuel supply from the diesel crankshaft speed. The above indicators were determined at standard diesel fuel supply settings. Based on the obtained external speed characteristics Ne, Mк, Gпал, ge, Gпов, CO, CmHn, NOx and N, mathematical (polynomial) dependencies were determined, which are described from the speed of the diesel crankshaft, and their adequacy was checked. The studies carried out made it possible to determine the main direction of increasing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions of harmful substances of a diesel engine.
