AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF COATING WITH THERMAL BARRIER ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE IN DIESEL ENGINE (original) (raw)

Increasing the performance of an internal combustion engine requires the transformation of total fuel energy to useful energy at the highest as possible. Increase of inner cylinder heat plays important role in the increase of engine performance and decrease of exhaust emissions. It is understood as a result of literature studies that coating combustion chamber elements with thermal barriers contributes a lot to the increase of inner cylinder heat. This study includes an evaluation of experimental studies and its results carried out upon the methods applied on coating with thermal barrier in diesel engines, the effects of coating on the performance of engine and exhaust emissions.
