A residence time of approximately 60 s for lubricant in the piston ring pack of a gasoline engine, running at 1500 rpm, 50% throttle, has been measured by adding a hydrocarbon marker to the oil in the sump and monitoring its build up in oil extracted from the top ring groove. Comparison of the rate of increase of oxidised products in the sump with the level of oxidation in the ring pack allows a rate...
More realistic and useful models of piston ring lubrication can only be achieved if there is a better understanding of the complex mechanisms by which oil flows in this region of the engine. The volume of oil in the piston assembly and its residence time in this high-temperature environment are crucial in determining the quantity and quality of oil available to lubricate the piston rings. Typically...
