چکیده
Theuse of composites within the aeronautical field is not limited to airframeapplications and includes powerplant components in reciprocating engines. Toadd research body this area, presented work aimed evaluate theperformance novel carbon fiber valve covers installed on an aircraftreciprocating engine. Specifically, comparative performance between novelcomposite-based original steel was interest,with a focus thermal cooling behavior. The experimental proceduresimulated certification testing required for parts manufacturer approvalprovided by Federal Aviation Administration followed testprotocol outlined ASTM International. test engine run once with eachvalve cover type at multiple power settings, throughout which surfacetemperature recorded. In addition, fibervalve subjected post-run visual inspection identify theoverall condition thereof any potential damage introduced under engineoperating conditions. study revealed lower temperatures withaccompanying higher heating rates coverwhen compared cover. Moreover, sealing issues onthe were observed. high coupled withthe can have detrimental impact operation andlifetime, thus, equivalency requirements met. While carbonfiber did perform directly equivalent levels originalsteel cover, future improved isdemonstrated. Especially sustained, rapid coolingrate, weight savings associated use composite materials arepromising. results obtained be used further refine thedesign composite-based covers, ultimate goal meetingcertification applicational requirements.

We developed a novel discharge valve characters usmg the stopper to obtain the high efficiency reciprocating compressor for refrigerators. Generally, the sticky force occurred due to the shape of valve, stopper and oil between the valve and valve seat changed the process of valve motion and valve dynamics of compressor. In this paper, we can measure the characteristics of the sticky force and d...
متن کاملThe Dynamics Of Reciprocating Compressor Valve Springs
The valves in reciprocating compressors use springs to control the timing of the valve closing. These springs are subjected to dynamic loading by the motion of the valve element. The element motion is periodic, but includes rapid acceleration and deceleration. It can therefore excite a wide range of frequencies in the spring. The resulting spring surge creates high stresses and is a major contr...
متن کاملSound Radiation Analysis of Automobile Engine Covers
A methodology to study the sound radiation of engine valve covers is presented. The analysis process uses a nonlinear static simulation followed by a steady state dynamics simulation to determine the sound pressure field due to the vibration of the engine cover. The effects of assembly loads are included. The methodology is demonstrated with two representative engine valve covers using acoustic...
