HIGH SPEED COMBUSTION PHOTOGRAPHY IN ACTUAL DIESEL ENGINES--A NEW APPROACH

The main features of a new high speed combustion photography system developed in AVL's combustion research department are presented. The principle of the new approach taken consists in viewing the combustion process through specially designed endoscopes. Compared to conventional film techniques, endoscopes as photographic systems take advantage of very small windows fitted into the cylinder head of the engine in a similar way as is common practice with cylinder pressure transducers. Thus, also production engines can be adapted to this optical system. Individual elements of the system are described and the various possibilities of their arrangement pointed out.
