COATING OF DIESEL ENGINE WITH NEW GENERATION CERAMIC MATERIAL TO IMPROVE COMBUSTION AND PERFORMANCE

ABSTRACT
In this study, piston and valve surfaces of a Diesel engine to improve exhaust emis¬sion and engine performance values, NiCr with bond coat and without bond coat with Cr2O3, Al2O3+13%TiO2, Cr2O3+25%Al2O3 coatings were coated using plasma spray method. By examining the micro-structures of the coating materials, it was observed that a good coating bond is formed. In this study, unlike other coating applications, two different and proportions of specific ceramic powders were coated on the combustion chamber elements, mounted on a Diesel engine, and their effects on engine performance and emissions were tested on the engine dynamometer. For this purpose, the internal combustion engine was operated at 1400, 1700, 2000, 2300, 2600, 2900, and 3200 rpm engine speeds and engine power, engine torque, in-cylinder pressure changes and heat release rate values were recorded. In this study, the that results were obtained by comparing thermal barrier coated engine with standard engine. An increase of 14.92% in maximum engine power, 12.35% in engine torque, 13% in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate by 4.5%, and brake thermal efficiency by 10.17% was detected, while brake specific fuel consumption decreased by 14.96%.
