Starting the diesel engine 1H9.5/8.0 by forced preheated air charge supply

The use of small-sized air-cooled diesel engines as part of mobile units for operation in the harsh climatic conditions of the Arctic is a rather difficult task. As the ambient temperature decreases, the temperature at the compression stroke end, which is necessary for the appearance of the first flashes in the diesel cylinder, decreases significantly. At the ambient temperature of minus 60°C, start of a diesel engine becomes impossible. The stage of the appearance of the first flashes is very important for the subsequent spin-up of the crankshaft and the onset of a diesel engine independent operation on fuel without the involvement of auxiliary starting devices. The article proposes a method and device for increasing the temperature in the combustion chamber at the compression stroke end. The results of a diesel engine start at various negative ambient temperatures are given. The regularities of the dynamics of starting a diesel engine 1Ch9.5/8.0 and the dependence of the crankshaft speed during start-up on the ambient temperature is established. The rational range of intake air temperature required for the diesel engine start-up by the proposed method at an ambient temperature from minus 50 to minus 60°C is determined. The proposed method and device can be applied in similar diesel engines with a smaller working volume.
