Taking a high-pressure common-rail diesel engine as the research object
the lube oil consumption was measured by the sulfur-tracing method
and a dynamic simulation model of piston assembly was established by testing the temperature field of the piston and cylinder liner to calculate the variation laws of lube oil consumption with engine speed and load. Four main channels of lube oil consumption in the cylinder were analyzed. Results show that the lube oil evaporated from cylinder liner wall and thrown off from piston top ring accounts for a large proportion of total lube oil consumption
reaching 61.42%~70.56% and 29.42%~38.42%
respectively. As observed
the bench test basically verifies the results of the simulation calculation. With the rise of engine speed and load
the lube oil consumption first increases steadily
and then shows a rapid increase trend again after a slight decrease.
