Innovation options for selected M60 engine systems: ignition system and engine parameter monitoring

Abstract

The topic of this paper is the possibility of innovating the ignition system of the M60 engine. The main part is the practical solution of the assignment. It shows the condition of the original ignition system, which was innovated in this work. It was a contact ignition system with a fixed advance, using a system of hammers. This solution was replaced by a new type of ignition, specifically an electronic ignition system that allows to change the ignition advance depending on the engine speed and load. The main parts of the new system consist of a control unit and a Hall sensor. It is these two components that make the main difference compared to the original ignition system. We deal with a more detailed description of design, construction and installation in the practical part. We paid attention to the design, the wiring diagram and its installation. At this stage, we addressed the possibilities of fastening a Hall sensor. The use of old components for assembly was not possible, so we proceeded to the design and production of new ones. The innovative ignition system will allow the engine to achieve higher power, lower consumption and the proportion of pollutants in the exhaust gases.
