The authors conducted field studies of a sequential series of breakdown voltages of the ignition system of the engine ignition model F8CV of the Daewoo Matiz car idling at a minimum crankshaft speed (650 rpm). The experiments were conducted on the basis of a microprocessor system for studying the distribution of breakdown voltage values. In addition to the distribution over the ranges of breakdown voltages, the algorithm of this system allows you to record a series of breakdown voltages in the microprocessor RAM. It was revealed that a sequential series of voltage values ​​can: increase several cycles (no more than 3 cycles); several cycles to decrease (no more than 3 cycles); stay the same. It can be assumed that there is a correlation between the breakdown voltage and the maximum cycle pressure. A further research objective is to identify the patterns of change in breakdown voltage in a sequential series of breakdown voltage values.

The authors carried out in-situ studies of the distribution of the breakdown voltage values ​​of the F8CV engine of the Daewoo Matiz Diesel engine idling at a minimum engine speed (650 rpm) and with an increased crankshaft speed (2840 rpm). A histogram of the distribution of the values ​​of the breakdown voltage in the interelectrode gap of the spark plug is obtained for these operating modes of the internal combustion engine. It was revealed that at a minimum engine speed of the ICE crankshaft, the distribution of the cyclic values ​​of the breakdown voltages obeys the normal distribution law for a spread of 6-15 kV. At higher speeds, the distribution of the cyclic values ​​of the breakdown voltages differs from the normal distribution law. With an increase in the speed of the crankshaft, all values ​​of the breakdown voltage fall by 3-4 kV. This can be explained by homogenization of the mixture and an improvement in the conditions for breakdown of the spark plug interelectrode gap.

The authors developed an algorithm, a microprocessor system for studying the distribution of values ​​of breakdown voltages in the gap of the spark plug. The microprocessor system includes capacitive voltage dividers and a device for processing and outputting information.

The authors carried out in-situ studies of the distribution of the breakdown voltage values ​​of the F8CV engine of the Daewoo Matiz engine with the engine warmed up and idling at the minimum crankshaft speed. A histogram of the distribution of the values ​​of the breakdown voltage in the interelectrode gap of the spark plug is obtained for these operating modes of the internal combustion engine. It was revealed that 50-63% of all values ​​of the breakdown voltage fall within the range 10.0-10.9 kV. When the engine warms up, 36% of all breakdown voltage values ​​are 10 kV. The remaining 8 and 9 kV account for 50% of the values. The maximum variance of the cyclic values ​​of the breakdown voltage is 20-40% with an average breakdown voltage of 10 kV.

Experimental studies of the ignition system of the engine idling. With the help of current and voltage sensors made visualization, transformation and analysis of information about the characteristics of energy spark discharge in the cylinder of the engine idling. Produced by processing waveform is shown that with increasing rotation speed of motor there is a reduction of the energy released in the electrode gap of the spark plug. Reducing the energy released (at a constant value of the energy stored in the magnetic field of the ignition coil) due to its redistribution between the capacitive and inductive discharge phases. By increasing rotation speed of motor the breakdown voltage increases, so does the excess air ratio, which also increases the breakdown voltage electrode gap spark plugs.

The laboratory studies the dependence of breakdown voltage of the spark plug gap on the polarity of the high voltage generated ignition system, air density and the size of the spark plug gap. The studies were performed using the tester spark under pressure. With a resistive voltage sensor made visualization, transformation and analysis of information on the magnitude of the breakdown voltage. Produced processing waveforms shown that flashover occurs regardless of the magnitude of the gap and is determined by the rate of rise of the secondary voltage of the external shape of the electrode and insulator spark plug. To reduce the breakdown voltage should be selected polarity when the cathode is the breakdown of the central electrode of the spark plug. Reversal may allow push surface breakdown in the zone of higher pressure in the chamber of the device, albeit with an increase in the breakdown voltage of the spark gap.
