Abstract:
The use of IC engines in today’s world has become inevitable. IC Engines find application not only in the automobile industry, but also as an effective prime mover for on-site power generation. Even though IC engines have many advantages, it is essential to note that some part of the input energy is lost due to friction and mechanical losses. With the problem of energy utilization being of utmost concern, it is vital that a solution regarding the elimination of these losses is found so that the input energy is optimally harnessed. This has landed us in the redesign of conventional IC engines-Rotating Liner Engine. With a rotating liner engine, the wear that usually occurs at the TDC due to piston assembly friction is almost eliminated. Thus, energy that is usually lost due to frictional losses is effectively regained. Moreover, the modifications in design used in rotating liner engine can be easily incorporated in conventional IC engines. The salient features of this design include a rotating liner that almost eliminates friction, a hydro dynamically lubricated face seal and hydroplaning of the piston rings where maximum wear occurs. By implementing this redesign to existing engines, we will be able to achieve:
v Longer engine life
v Reduction in fuel consumption
v Improvement of overall efficiency
v Minimizes toxic emissions by enhancing combustion.
These newly redesigned engines are also technically feasible. With more research and development, it is expected that the efficiency of IC engines can be improved considerably by using the principles of rotating liner engine technology.
