Thermal Load Simulation and Structure Improvement of High Speed Diesel Engine Piston

In order to solve cylinder-scraping of a four-cylinder high speed diesel engine, based on the measurement of piston temperature, the piston temperature field was numerically simulated by using temperature fitting method, the calculation results were well consistent with the measured temperature. By finite element analysis of piston thermal load based on the calculation results as temperature load, enlarging oil cooling cavity in the piston head was proposed to enhance cooling locally, which could effectively reduce temperature of the piston head and the first ring groove and avoid the occurrence of cylinder-scraping.
