Improvement of the method for determining the traction properties of the SKODA FABIA vehicle during bench diagnostics

Іhor Мarmut, Vitaliy Kashkanov, Volodymyr Zuiev

As you know, the main output parameters characterizing the state of the power unit are the power and torque values. These parameters determine the dynamic qualities of the car, and can also affect fuel consumption and the level of harmful emissions. 
The above parameters are checked using traction roller stands. Such stands allow you to reproduce real speed and load modes. Usually, the traction force on the drive wheels is measured on the stands. It is then easy to calculate the power at a given test speed. Traction force is determined, on the one hand, by the output torque of the engine, on the other hand, by mechanical losses in the transmission. In turn, the moment is determined by the perfection of the combustion process, the complete use of the energy of combustion products, and mechanical losses in the engine itself. 
When there is no reliable, experimentally obtained external speed characteristic of an internal combustion engine, Leiderman's formula is usually used for its approximate construction. 
This technique gives a satisfactory approximation of the dependence of power on revolutions. However, the moment curve is noticeably different from the experimental one. due to the fact that it uses only one experimental point - the maximum power and the corresponding revolutions. Therefore, a refined method of building the external speed characteristic using the example of the SKODA FABIA car is proposed using additional equations that specify the values of the empirical coefficients A, B, C. 
On the basis of the refined external speed characteristics of the engine, the revolutions of the crankshaft are converted into speed, and a graph of the permissible traction force against the speed is drawn according to the derived formula. Standards for diagnostic parameters of the power unit in acceleration mode under partial load are also defined. 
The proposed method of registering engine diagnostic parameters to determine their normative values provides an individual approach to diagnosing the technical condition of cars
