Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have developed a reliable testing methodology to study stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (H 2-ICEs), ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT A comprehensive experimental and theoretical approach was undertaken to understand the phenomenon of pre-ignition and to assess ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

Dr. Vickey Kalaskar and the SwRI team have pioneered a groundbreaking testing methodology to tackle stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in heavy-duty hydrogen-fueled engines (H2-ICEs). SAN ANTONIO — ...

General Motors announced that it will recall the Cadillac SRX Crossover due to engine pre-ignition issues, which can be caused by the usage of low octane (regular) fuel.The recall affects the 2010 ...

A team of scientists and researchers is embarking on a five-year study program to develop actionable strategies for dealing with wildfires — both pre-ignition and post-ignition — and is looking for ...

A collaboration in the US aims to create a detection system that can identify pre-ignition in hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE). The Connect project brings together a multidisciplinary ...

MAHLE can now integrate pre-chamber ignition into engines that are already into production without having to change much in the machining process. MAHLE Jet Ignition technology can be installed in ...
