Measuring of accoustic wave influences generated at various configurations of racing engine inlet and exhaust system on brake mean effective pressure

Abstract

In this paper there are presented the results from measurement of a high-powerful racing combustion engine. These results are obtained by means of the system EwaC, which is operating as the data-recording process. That is such measuring equipment, which is sensing and recording information during the engine current operation under the real conditions and real operational loading. A modular approach to the individual measuring consists in a sequential assembly of the individual components belonging to the engine inlet and exhaust system. An investigation of the individual configuration influences of the both systems is performed by means of the sequential experimental measuring. The measurement of the exhaust pipe was based on the application of tuned racing exhaust system. In order to perform experiments oriented to the inlet system it was developed a new system of the thrust-ejector suction, which enables to solve problems connected with an insufficient feeding of cylinder with a fresh mixture. The pressure of air, which is sucked into the engine, is changed from the atmospheric value to the overpressure level. This phenomenon causes an increasing of the engine power output and torque. According to the gained results was investigated a relation between the newly developed inlet pipe and increasing of the engine torque. Furthermore, the experimentally obtained results are well corresponding with the analytical relations described in the relevant literature. These results can be presented for a wide spectrum of the high-powerful engines because the air inlet system is independent on the engine design and arrangement. The analysed system was successful in the motorbike applications. Thus, taking into consideration the positive results there was registered in the last year as well as the patent application concerning this new design arrangement.
