Abstract

The article presents the method of controlled modification of engine oil, as well as the results of operational studies to assess the service life of heavy-duty vehicle engines. The method of controlled modification of engine oil includes a system of five levels of information helping to assess the technical condition of engines of heavy-duty vehicles, including mining dump trucks. The first level of the methodology includes the use of subjective methods for determining the technical condition of engines by its external manifestations. The second level of the methodology includes the use of simple instrumental methods and means of obtaining diagnostic information about the technical condition of the engine and its subsystems. The third level of the technique involves the use of a drip test of engine oil. The fourth level of the methodology includes the chemical analysis of engine oil samples. The fifth level of the technique involves spectral analysis of engine oil to determine the presence of metals.

Highlights

  • Practical data show that in order to reliably determine and maximize the use of the assigned resource of mining machines, including car engine parts, it is necessary to constantly monitor their wearing process [1, 2]

  • The first level of the technique of controlled modification of engine oil involves the use of subjective methods for determining the technical condition of engines by its external manifestations

  • The following engine oils were tested on BelAZ dump trucks at certain operating times: Valvoline SAE 15W-40, which is used on Cummins QSM11-C and Cummins QSX-15-C345 diesels; LOTOS SL/CF SAE 15W-40, which is used on YaMZ-240M2 and YAMZ-240PM2 diesels

Summary

Introduction

Practical data show that in order to reliably determine and maximize the use of the assigned resource of mining machines, including car engine parts, it is necessary to constantly monitor their wearing process [1, 2]. This can be achieved by using the method of controlled modification of engine oil. It is established that the most rational for high-load internal combustion engines is the "Autopreparation "NanoKOR-F", which is based on theoretical and experimental studies In this regard, it is advisable to develop a method for controlled modification of engine oil for operational studies of the performance of heavy-duty vehicle engines, on the basis of theoretical and experimental studies
