THE PNEUMATIC DUAL-MASS FLYWHEEL

Abstract

Reduction of exhaust gas emissions, increasing of combustion process efficiency and lowering of fuel consumption are the most significant characteristic features in the development process of diesel combustion engines. All these mentioned trends are integrated with an increasing of power output and torque but also with a higher level of vibrations and noisiness. In order to reduce the vibrations of diesel engines it is necessary to apply a dual-mass flywheel as an unavoidable part of the piston combustion engine. The dual-mass flywheel replaces the classic flywheel in such way that it is divided in two masses (the primary mass and the secondary mass), which are jointed together by means of a flexible interconnection. This kind of the flywheel solution enables to change resonance areas of the engine with regard to the engine dynamic behaviour what leads to a reduction of vibrations consequently. However, there is also a disadvantage of the dual-mass flywheels. The disadvantage is its short-time durability. There was projected a new type of the dual-mass flywheel in the framework of our workplace in order to eliminate disadvantages of the present dual-mass flywheels, i.e. we projected the pneumatic dual-mass flywheel, taking into consideration our experiences obtained during investigation of vibrations.
