摘要
An experimental study is presented to evaluate the effect of partially laser surface textured piston rings on the fuel consumption and exhaust gas composition of a compression-ignition IC engine. Dynamometer tests were performed with a Ford Transit naturally aspirated 2500 cm(3) engine at a wide range of engine speeds under near-half-load conditions. A comparison was made between the performance of reference non-textured conventional barrel-shaped rings and optimum partial laser surface texturing (LST) cylindrical-shape rings. It was found that the partial LST piston rings exhibited up to 4% lower fuel consumption, while no traceable change in the exhaust gas composition or smoke level was observed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
