Abstract
Analysis of noise level from engines is important from point of view
of customer satisfaction. Accurate prediction of noise is important for
planning, design and target setting decisions for meeting customer
satisfaction goals. In this work an analytic model has been described
to break diesel engine noise data into various components in order to
plan a strategy for condition monitoring of engine.
Introduction
Optimization techniques adopted in engines to reduce excitation
sources are effective way to control noise emissions. Hence exact
contribution of each source of excitation towards total noise is
necessary. Previous works have shown that combustion and
mechanical noise contribute a major portion towards noise emitted
from diesel engines[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].Based on these works a
methodology has been developed to analyze noise emitted from
diesel engines. This is based on assumption that that engine noise
emissions (TN)are sum of noise due to combustion process(CN),
noise during motored condition (MN)and increased motoring noise
due to mechanical excitation(IMN).i.e.

Experimental Setup
Tests were done on a dual cylinder Lombardini LDW442CRS engine
having a common rail injection system. The engine as presented in
Figure no 1 has specifcations as in Table no 1.
Table 1. Engine Specification
Table 2. Pressure Transducer Specification
Table 3. Testing Conditions
A fully opened electronic control unit connected to computer was
used to manage the injection system with aim to control operational
parameters. The engine was coupled with an a synchronous motor of
SIEMENS 1PH7 make thus allowing to control speed and load. This
engine test rig has a piezo electric type Kistler 6056A make pressure
transducer for in cylinder pressure measurements having features
presented in table no 2. An optical crank angle encoder of AVL 364C
make was used for detection of TDC position. The given system can
do maximum of 2 injections per cycle. All signals were
simultaneously acquired by NI boards of 6110 type(for analog type)&
6533 type(for optical encoder signals) using LabVIEW 10 software.
During the tests the sampling rate was varied in order to guarantee a
fxed crank angle resolution of 0.25°. The signals obtained were
fltered using a B&K Nexus device which is a combination of an
amplifer and a low pass flter. The sampling rate varied with engine
speed in order to have a fxed resolution. During the tests the
injection parameters were varied with different injection methods,
variations in injection timings and duration of injection. Various
engine testing speeds (1600RPM,2000 RPM & 3000 RPM) and load
