Stand testing of energy saving motor oil in the internal combustion engine

Abstract

The problem of increasing the power efficiency of internal combustion engines by the method of its tribochemical treatment was considered. Concentrate additives Komol on the base of molybdenum complexes was developed. This concentrate reduces fuel consumption and increases engine power. In this paper the Subaru EJ-25 engine used in aviation and automotive industry was investigated before and after the tribochemical treatment by the bench tests. It’s shown that adding tribochemically active additives into motor oil increases maximal engine power to 10,7% which is 8,7% on comparable engine rotation speeds. The effect was caused by reduced frictional losses as a result of the tribopolymer films formed on friction surfaces.
