Assessing the functional quality of an engine lubricant through real-time sensing could pave the way for development of comprehensive engine health monitoring systems. In this study, a permittivity-based, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) oil quality sensor was implemented in the lubricant flow of a diesel engine after detailed evaluation on a benchtop test facility. The sensor was mounted on the oil filter housing of the engine in the post-filter oil flow, and its implementation required no modifications to the engine block. Simultaneously, the lubricant flow was visualized by incorporating a novel test cell in the oil flow path. Both the sensor assembly and the flow visualization cell were fully characterized on the benchtop facility prior to implementation on the engine. In these experiments, fresh and used samples of the engine’s recommended oil were tested, and the sensor’s oil quality measurements showed noticeable differences between the engine and benchtop studies, a feature

This SAE Information Report establishes a minimum level of uniform recipes for contaminants which may be used when durability testing pneumatic components to obtain additional information on how a device may perform under more true-to-life operating conditions. This type of contamination testing, however, is not meant to replace the type of performance testing described in SAE J1409 and SAE J1410. Durability testing in the presence of contamination will yield results more reflective of actual in-service field conditions and provide an additional evaluation of pneumatic devices. While the contaminant supply rate and other test criteria of the device being tested must be set by the device manufacturer or user, the items covered in this document will be
NVH is very important topic in development of a vehicle. Legislative requirements for driver ear level, the comparison to competitor vehicles in terms of noise and vibration as well as sound quality set very challenging targets. High noise at Driver Ear Level (DEL) and tactile vibrations of tractor is the major cause of exhaustion to the operator. With growing competition there is need for the tractor manufacturers to control noise and vibration levels. Recognizing the corrective measures to reduce the noise and vibration has a greater impact in increasing the efficiency of the product and operator comfort. Objective of this paper is to control vehicle level noise and vibrations using vehicle level structure modifications. It includes airborne and structure borne NVH study on a tractor by measuring sound pressure and vibration levels at vehicle level. Single cylinder engine was mounted on light weight structure to meet the power and torque requirements in the tractor. Also, there is no
The techniques outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice were developed as part of an overall program for determining and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses, but it is applicable to off highway vehicles as well. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual installation data. Cooling requirements are affected by all heat exchangers that are cooled by the fan drive system. These may include radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, oil coolers, and others. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan drive systems, specific test devices have not been included. Using known power/speed relationships for a given fan, this procedure can be used to calculate the fan drive system’s power consumption for cooling systems using the types of drives listed below. This power consumption may then be used in determining engine net power per SAE J1349. For more

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides a guide for the preparation of a helicopter engine/airframe interface document and checklist. This document and checklist should identify the information needed by the engine manufacturer and the aircraft manufacturer to integrate the engine design with the aircraft design and either provide this information or give reference to where this information is located. The intent is to assure that the engine manufacturer and the airframe manufacturer identify and make provision for this information so it can be easily accessible to either manufacturer as needed in the development stages of an engine-airframe integration project. A related document, SAE Aerospace Information Report AIR6181, provides guidance on creating an interface control document (ICD) which addresses a subset of the aircraft-engine interface information concerning the physical and functional interfaces of the electronic engine control system (EECS) with the aircraft

The optimization of the exhaust port shape for best mass flow is an excellent opportunity to improve fuel economy, emissions, and knock sensitivity of internal combustion engines (ICE). This is valid for many different types of combustion systems including gasoline, alcohols, alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen, and e-fuels. Nowadays, so-called cylinder-head integrated exhaust manifolds (IEM) guide the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to the turbocharger. This specific design requires lots of strong bends and turnings of the exhaust ports in very narrow space, since they need to be guided through a labyrinth of bolts, water cores, and oil passages. In fact, this challenges the avoidance of increased pressure drops, reduced mass flow rates, and deterioration of port flow efficiencies. The optimization of the individual port by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a proper means to minimize or even eliminate these drawbacks. Meanwhile, there are
Reducing of lubricant oil consumption (LOC) remains a major issue for internal-combustion engines. Especially in recent years, in order to comply with Particular Number (PN) regulations and lower oil viscosity to reduce friction loss, need to reduce the LOC has increased. Controlling the upward oil flow, that passes the piston and piston rings, is effective in reducing the LOC. In addition, oil control ring (OCR) has significant effect on upward oil flow. Therefore, development of a high-precision prediction method of oil behavior around the OCR is important for prediction of LOC. So, the model of Three-piece type oil control ring (3POCR) motion within the OCR groove and the model of oil behavior around the 3POCR were developed using the computer aided engineering (CAE) method in this paper. These models calculate in detail the upward oil outflow to the 3rd land from the OCR groove, which is based on the relation between the OCR motion and the gas pressure as well as the inertial force
Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (H2-ICEs) are being investigated due to their minimal criteria pollutant and zero CO2 tailpipe emissions. However, oil filters and non-hot joint gaskets have rubber material that can be damaged and deteriorate due to direct or indirect exposure to the high temperature and high-pressure hydrogen in a H2-ICE. Thus, the effects on the properties of a rubber exposed to a hydrogen environment need to be reviewed. In this review paper, the transportation, chemical and mechanical properties of a rubber exposed directly or indirectly to high temperature and high-pressure hydrogen in a H2-ICE have been reviewed. The compatibility of rubber materials used in H2-ICE has been explored. The effects of high-pressure hydrogen on the transportation, chemical and mechanical properties of NBR and HNBR have been reviewed. It is concluded that when the hydrogen pressure is less than or equal to 10 MPa the hydrogen infiltration of rubber remains linearly proportional to
This study examined the friction factor of replaceable element and conventional oil filters in a diesel engine lubrication flow setting, simulated in a precision benchtop facility that was developed for this purpose. Using clean engine oils, pressure drop across the filters was measured as a function of oil temperature and flow rate in the test facility in the range of 100-220°F and 2.0-4.5 GPM typical of diesel engine lubricant flow. The experimental results show systematic differences in the behavior between conventional and replaceable element oil filters attributable to temperature-related permeability variation in the replaceable filter element

This SAE Information Report provides general information for installing and tightening fluid conductors and connectors. Following these guidelines, with the consistent proper use of torque wrenches, tightening procedures, and correct torque levels, will result in diminishing leaks and improving service life by avoiding hose twisting, tube binding, false torque, and improper joint closures. Since many factors influence the pressure at which a hydraulic system will or will not perform satisfactorily, this report should not be used as a “standard” nor a “specification,” and the values shown should not be construed as “guaranteed” minimums, maximums, or absolutes. This document is an information report to help users by gathering available information from the various connector standards and publishing the information in one source for easy retrieval and applied common usage. This SAE Information Report is primarily intended for mobile/stationary industrial equipment applications. Aircraft
