Abstract

The internal combustion engine has been used for many transportation applications but his efficiency is low mainly to his mechanical and thermal losses. The combustion chamber is designed to be perfectly sealed; however a small part of air and fuel mixture leaks toward the crankcase especially due to the imperfect contact between rings and and cylinder liner. These losses of pressure depends on many factors such as engine speed, load and wear of rings. The piston group is responsible for ~ 50% of the frictional losses of the engine. An experimental stand was designed and realized in the laboratory to study the pressure losses and sealling properties of rings. A piston for Raba engine (MAN D2356) and cylinder was chosen to verify pressure losses function of various loads. The results shows the pressure losses of the piston ring assembly function of different pressures.
