On the prospects of using diesel engines with limited heat sink

Abstract

This article is devoted to the use of diesel engines with reduced heat dissipation from the working fluid. Reduced heat dissipation from the working fluid in diesel engines can be achieved by applying special coatings or installing thermal insulation inserts directly on the combustion chamber surfaces, such as the piston bottom, cylinder walls, and cylinder head. The author shows that further research, rational selection of new materials and improvement of work processes, as well as the search for optimal design solutions are necessary for the successful implementation of limited heat sink technology. In general, the use of this technology is a promising direction that makes it possible to optimize fuel combustion processes, increase efficiency, reduce specific fuel consumption and improve the starting qualities of diesel engines.
