RGAU-MSHA engineers named after KA Timiryazev developed and patented a new internal combustion engine model with low cost and long service life.
The uptime of the unit is increased due to almost zero friction between the working piston of the engine and the working cylinder. As a result, the motor life is approximately doubled compared to conventional motors and the efficiency increases by 3-5%.
Both gasoline and gas can act as fuel for the engine. The developers note that the combustion of the latter took place in more favorable conditions than the existing units.
The cost of a new engine is about 30% lower than existing designs due to the use of stamping rather than casting. By reducing the dimensions, the developers managed to reduce the material consumption and specific gravity of the engine. According to the engineers, with the right material selection and process equipment, it will be possible to completely abandon the lubrication and maintenance of such an engine.
Now experts have begun to create a prototype engine designed for small-sized agricultural machinery.
