Abstract

The research was carried out in order to determine the possibility of assessing the technical condition of an internal combustion engine (ICE) by the value of the total electromotive force (EMF) that occurs in its friction pairs. The contact area of the rubbing parts and the gap between them affects the electrical resistance in contact, and, accordingly, the value of the resulting EMF according to the established dependence. To confirm the theoretical results, studies were carried out on the UMP-417 engine using a developed measuring complex and a manufactured current-collecting device mounted on the output end of the engine crankshaft. With the operating mode corresponding to the speed of the crankshaft 800 min-1, the total value of the EMF in the measurement circuit cylinder liner-engine block-crankshaft-current collector (TSU) was 83...95 mV. At the same time, in the piston–cylinder liner friction pair, it was equal to 37 ... 47 mV, and in the crank mechanism friction pairs - 46...48 mV. The correspondence of the results of the theoretical calculation and bench studies of the values of the EMF value for a real internal combustion engine was: when measured using the Fluke device for the friction unit of the cylinder liner-piston – 62.1 %, for the friction units of the crank mechanism (root neck-connecting rod, connecting rod neck-connecting rod, root neck-engine block) - 15.1 %. When measured by the V1net device, for the cylinder liner – piston friction unit-85.5 %, for the crank mechanism friction units (root neck-connecting rod, connecting rod neck-connecting rod, root necks-engine block) - 93.2 %. The proposed method for determining the state of the engine by the value that occurs in its EMF friction nodes can be used in the technical diagnostics of engines
