Features of the Piston Engine Working Process when Working on Kerosene

For aircraft in light multi-purpose aviation, piston engines are considered more efficient than gas turbine. The main technical requirement for such engines is to ensure trouble-free operation with the best possible fuel efficiency. At the same time, there are no requirements to emission of harmful substances in exhaust fumes except for the absence of visible smoke. When developing multi-purpose aircraft piston engines, it is important to ensure their multi-fuel operation, including opera-tion on TS-1 kerosene and diesel fuel. But the issues associated with setting engine control algo-rithms for operation on TS-1 kerosene are practically unexplored. In order to refine the control algo-rithms, the flow of the working process using such fuel was studied in this work. The effect of se-quencing the working process stages on the formation of the ignition delay period was shown. Based on the analysis of the factors affecting the ignition delay period, a map of the fuel injection advance angle values was generated. According to the experimental data, the activation energy of pre-flame reactions was adopted, which for kerosene TS-1 was 23–28 kJ/mol.
