High-Temperature Lubrication Systems for Ring/Liner Applications in Advanced Heat Engines.

Abstract

An assessment of tribological requirements in upper-cylinder area of advanced high-temperature engines was made in terms of critical components and their operating conditions. The ring-liner applications are the most severe since they have high temperature (<800 F) and large number of sliding cycles 10 to the 8th power - 10 to the 10th power). This report explores and evaluates various high-temperature tribological systems lubricants, materials and lubricant delivery or supply systems for high-temperature ring-liner applications. Keywords: Solid lubricants; Low heat rejection engines; Friction; Wear; Composite materials; Displacement engines; Gas turbine engines. (Author)
