Abstract:
Heavy fuel aviation piston engines (HF-APEs) refer to the engine using fuels with high flash point, such as kerosene or light diesel. Here technique specifications of some classical foreign HF-APE (Hirth3503, Zanzottera 498) are introduced. Recent progress and trend of fuel injection, fuel ignition, working cycle, intake charging, thermal management and electronic control of HF-APE are compared and summarized. Emphases are put on the technological difficulties, solutions and development tendency in the design, retrofitting and manufacturing of HF-APE aiming to provide references for the research of related area and the development of prototype HF-APE in China.
