Summary of Test Method4.1 The test is run in a 347 cm3Yamaha RD-350B twin-cylinder air-cooled motorcycle engine.5It is intended primarilyto evaluate ring sticking and piston skirt dep

23、osits. Spark plugfouling, combustion chamber deposits, and exhaust port block-age are also evaluated. The engine is set up with one cylindersupplied with a fuel and oil mixture made using the non-reference oil and the other with a fuel and oil mixture using thebenchmark reference oil. The test is no

24、rmally run twice,exchanging the oils between cylinders for the second run. Eachrun is performed on a 25-min part throttle 5-min idle cycle,with a 60-min shutdown after each 150 min of running time.Total running time per single test is normally 20 h.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is prim

25、arily intended for the evaluationof lubricants for use in two-stroke-cycle engines of highspecific output.NOTE 1If the test method is being used to satisfy a portion ofSpecification D 4859, refer to the specification for the pass-fail criteria.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Engine and Stand:6.1.1 Test EngineA

26、 Yamaha RD-350B 347 cm3twincylinder motorcycle engine with attached standard transmis-sion (gearbox) is used.5The engine is described more fully inAnnex A1. It is set up on a dynamometer test stand with amodified fuel system so that each of the cylinders is suppliedindependently through its associat

27、ed carburetor. A typical teststand is shown in Fig. 1. The dynamometer is located to the leftof the engine behind the instrument cabinet, and is driven bythe motorcycle transmission output shaft.6.1.2 Lubrication SystemThe test engine, as manufac-tured, is provided with an oil injection system by wh

28、ich oil ismetered to the carburetor bowls from a common source.Because the test is run using a different fuel and oil mixture ineach carburetor, the oil pump and its connections shall beremoved and the oil connections to the carburetors plugged.6.1.3 DynamometerThe dynamometer shall be capable ofabs

29、orbing at least 8 kW (10 hp). The engine crankshaft speedis 6000 r/min, and the motorcycle transmission may be used toprovide speed reduction. No correction is required for thepower loss in the transmission.6.1.4 Cooling AirA variable delivery blower with a freeflow capacity of about 300 m3/min (10

30、000 ft3/min) of air isrequired. The flow from the blower shall be directed toward theexhaust side of the engine so as to deliver an approximatelyequal stream to each cylinder, and is varied as required tomaintain the spark plug gasket temperature within the limitsspecified in Section 9. It is advise

31、d that the blower be set up todraw its air from outside the building. Where this is notpracticable, or in hot climates, coolers may be required.6.1.5 Combustion AirThe air supply to the engine may betaken from the ambient air in the test cell, but if a controlled airsource is used, it is recommended

32、 that it be set to 25 to 27C(77 to 81F) with a moisture content of 11 to 12 g/kg (77 to 83grains/lb) of dry air and a maximum pressure at the carburetorinlet of 3.7 kPa (1.5 in. water). Supply to each carburetor shallbe through a separate flowmeter each with a capacity of 30kg/h (65 lb/h) minimum. A

33、 plenum chamber is provided at theintake of each carburetor to damp out pulsations. These areshown in Fig. 1.6.1.6 Fuel System:6.1.6.1 Fuel is supplied to each of the carburetors by anindividual electric fuel pump with a capacity of at least 2.5 L/h(0.7 gal/h) taking the fuel mix from separate tanks

34、 through apaper or ceramic filter and a flowmeter as specified in 6.1.6.2.The fuel shall enter the carburetors at a maximum temperatureof 25C (77F) and cooling may be required in a hot climate.6.1.6.2 Two flowmeters, one for each carburetor, are re-quired. Any type accurate to 60.01 kg/h (60.02 lb/h

35、) at theflow rate specified in 6.1.6.1 may be used, but those measuring5Order from Engineering and Service Dept., Yamaha International Corp., P.O.Box 6555, Cypress, CA 90630. Complete RD-350B engines are no longer availablefrom the manufacturer, but all parts are still available and are expected to

If a volumemeasuring device is used, the relationship of density totemperature over the range of fuel temperature experiencedshall be de

37、termined for the actual test gasoline and test oilmixtures used, and the appropriate value used for conversion ofvolume to mass.6.1.6.3 When permitted by local regulations, the use ofportable containers with a capacity of at least 60 L (15 U.S.gal) is recommended to facilitate changing of fuels. If

38、the fuellines to the carburetors cannot be replaced when the fuel andoil mixture is changed, it is necessary to be able to purge thefuel system between the tanks and the carburetors.6.1.7 Exhaust SystemThe standard motorcycle exhaustsystem shall be used, discharging into a pipe of at least200-mm (8-

39、in.) internal diameter leading out of the test cell.No modification other than axial rotation may be made to theexhaust system as supplied by Yamaha except the installationof thermocouples as specified in 6.2.4. Any rotation of theexhaust system shall be the same for both cylinders and shallnot plac

The overall accuracy of temperaturemeasurement, including that of recorders, if used, shall bewithin 61C (2F).6.2.2.2 Baromet

42、ric PressureA barometer measuring thepressure in the test room is required. Its overall accuracy,including recorder, if used, shall be within 60.1 kPa (0.75 mmHg).6.2.2.3 HumidityA hygrometer accurate to 63 % or a wetand dry bulb thermometer accurate to 61C (2F) is alsorequired.6.2.2.4 RecorderConti

43、nuous recording of the ambientconditions is recommended.6.2.3 Spark Plug Gasket Temperature Measurement:6.2.3.1 ThermocouplesThe composite gasket normallysupplied with the spark plug is not satisfactory for theattachment of thermocouple wires. A design that has beenfound satisfactory is given in App

44、endix X1.6,7Provision shallbe made for shutdown of the engine in the case of a spark pluggasket temperature increase of 10C (18F) or more. Anautomatic shutdown that operates if such an increase occurs ispreferred. As a minimum, an alarm shall be provided to operateafter a temperature increase of 6 t

45、o 7C (11 to 13F) to allowmanual shut down by the operator if the 10 limit is exceeded.If the alarm or shutdown is a separate instrument from thetemperature recorder, it is usually necessary to provide twothermocouples as shown in Appendix X1, but if it is incorpo-rated into the recorder, only one th
