Analyze of possibility of the SB3.1 diesel engine modernisation

Analyse of possibility of the SB3.1 investigative diesel engine modernisation is showed in this paper. The engine is the excellent tool permitting to conduct investigative work over processes of fuel mixture production, spontaneous ignition and burning in a diesel engine with direct injection. It makes possible put in the changes of compression rate, the camshaft timing angle and the fuel injection timing angle. The obsolete system of the engine feeding, equipped with row injection's pump and injector come from the SW-680 engine is his drawback. Use of injection system type Common Rail allows solution of imperfection of this engine. That system would permit to extension of the engine SB3.1 investigative possibilities on investigation of processes limiting the emission of toxic compounds in exhaust gases and especially the soot filters and the catalytic afterburners or systems of reducing of nitrogen oxides emission. The modernization of engine SB3.1 contains the change of a high pressure pump with fuel pressure over 135 mpa and electronically controlled injector. The engine has also to be equipped in number of the control and measuring devices and the control unit to control of influence of converting gathered measuring signals on a fuel dose injected to cylinder.
