An experimental study on piston temperature measurement at various locations in a S.I. engine utilizing L-LINK mechanism

L-LINK를 이용한 S.I.엔진 피스톤 각 부위의 온도측정에 대한 실험적 연구

This paper presents the method of piston temperature measurement and its data under various engine operating conditions. In case of high speed engine, the thermocouple wires must be guided from moving piston to stationary place with carful attention. for this purpose L_LINK SYSTEM was made and assembled to a passenger car engine on the test bench and then the piston temperature was successfully measured. The tested engine speed ranged from 1,000 to 4,000 rpm with 500 rpm increments. Not only the effects of engine speed and load on the piston temperature but those of spark timing, detonation, coolant temperature and Reynolds number based on inlet air condition were studied form the measurement obtained by this L_LINK SYSTEM.
