ALTERNATIVE WAYS FOR VEHICLE ICE DEVELOPMENT

The article considers the alternative ways of improving vehicle engines developing by the State Scientific Center "NAMI". The work describes the traverse power mechanism, which allows controlling the movement of the pistons, changing the compression ratio and the working displacement. The construction of traverse engines allows them to be manufactured together with the serial engines with a partial modification of the standard equipment. The research shows that it is possible to significantly increase the boost pressure in a diesel engine with a regulation of the compression ratio, thereby increasing the power. As well it is possible to save the previous level of power, reduce the working volume (the number of cylinders), while improving fuel efficiency, reducing the mass and cost of the engine. A gasoline engine allows increasing the boost pressure without detonation, with a reduction in the compression ratio, while increasing the liter capacity with improving the fuel economy in the high load modes. With an increase in the compression ratio, fuel efficiency will improve on low-load conditions.
