Короткий опис (реферат):
The article discusses methods for determining top dead center, based on the analysis of pressure diagrams of a marine engine. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are shown. Diagnostics of marine engines during operation and the selection of optimal operating conditions is based on the analysis of gas pressure diagrams, as well as fuel supply and gas distribution diagrams. As a result of the analysis of the pres-sure diagrams, the indicator engine power is calculated, which is further used in the management of engine operation modes, in the calculation of specific indicators, as well as in the calculation of energy efficiency coefficients of marine vessels according to International Maritime Organization recommendations. The influ-ence of the accuracy of determining the position of the top dead center on the calculation of the mean indicat-ed pressure and indicator power is shown. The authors considered a method for determining top dead center, based on the solution of the equation P’= 0, which provides the required accuracy in calculating the mean in-dicated pressure and indicator power of the engine during operation. It is shown that the method can be appli-cable in marine engine working process monitoring systems as an alternative to hardware methods for deter-mining the top dead center
