Abstract

Improving the reliability of automotive engines is an important problem for the country's economy. Engine failures, due to wear, cause significant consumption of spare parts, complicate the operation of machines. The cost of overhaul of automotive engines is 70-80% of their cost, and the secondary resource is 30-40%. Over the entire service life of automotive engines, 5-6 times more money is spent on ensuring their operability than on manufacturing. Therefore, increasing the resource of automotive engines by improving lubrication processes is an urgent problem. One of the effective methods of ensuring the operability of machines is functional tuning. The paper defines it and shows the place of tuning in the system of ensuring the reliability of machines. The method of choosing the option of tuning the engine lubrication system is substantiated. The technique has been tested on specific variants: visual indicator, electronic indicator, hydraulic accumulator, oil pumping system, autonomous lubrication of TKR, oil level regulator, limit automatic. Based on the cost indicators of these options and the values of the relative increase in engine life that they provide, a methodology for choosing the best option for tuning the lubrication system has been developed.
