    Ignition system and their purpose in aircraft reciprocating engines
    (University of Žilina, 2023) Vorlíček, Marek; Čerňan, Jozef
    This research describes the function and principles of ignition systems in aircraft reciprocating engines. Physical-chemical processes, which are part of combustion, and the factors affecting them are defined in detail. Types of ignition systems are divided based on main parts and frequency of appearance in aircraft engines. Components of ignition and their function in electric and magnetic circuits are individually described. The future development in ignition systems is defined. The research includes an analysis of the pros and cons of laser ignition in its application in aviation. It presents Low-Temperature Combustion or Volumetric Ignition using Low-Temperature Plasma. An example may be the Microwave-assisted Plasma Ignition System. Engine speed and vacuum in intake are the main parameters influencing the ignition timing curve in Electronic Control Unit Master developed by IMF Soft. This ECU is used in the designed ignition system of testing engine. The designed timing curves were tested, and the results of engine power and torque were compared. In conclusion, the optimal timing curve is evaluated for this reciprocating engine.

    Ignition systems of combustion piston engine and possibility of its optimization
    (University of Zilina, 2021) Vorlíček, Marek; Čerňan, Jozef
    This paper explains the basic definition of ignition, combustion and description of the ignition system functionality. The ignition systems are divided according to established criteriums into the most used types and descriptions of each ignition system components. It focuses on ignition timing and circumstances that affect it and how they influence the observed parameters. I am using ignition timing as an instrument for the observation and optimization of ignition. These practices are tested on piston engine in the practical part of this paper. It describes the modification of the timing curve, measuring of engine power and comparison between each curve. It is an analysis of engine performance under different conditions. The most efficient timing curve is chosen and further evaluated. The used engine for this paper was a rebuild from a car engine used in Trabant 601, VEB Automobilwerke automobile.

    NÁVRH A REALIZÁCIA SPÚŠŤACIEHO SYSTÉMU EXPERIMENTÁLNEHO MOTORA SHAKER
    (Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Šlenker, Filip; Čerňan, Jozef
    The aim of this paper is to design and construct a starting system for the experimental single-jet engine SHAKER. The first chapter is devoted to theoretical knowledge about turbine engines. It provides information on the principle of engine operation, working cycle and individual parts of the turbine engine. The second chapter describes turbine engine systems. It specifically focuses only on systems that are necessary for the operation of such a small experimental engine. The third chapter describes the design of the SHAKER engine and its parts. The fourth part of the paper includes the methodology and the desing of the starting system modeled on a computer with a 3D CAD software Creo Parametric. The actual implementation of the desing as well as the testing of the starting system are described and documented in the last chapter.
