Dr. Vickey Kalaskar and the SwRI team have pioneered a groundbreaking testing methodology to tackle stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in heavy-duty hydrogen-fueled engines (H2-ICEs). SAN ANTONIO — ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

Engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have developed a reliable testing methodology to study stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (H 2-ICEs), ...

I recently got asked about what "pinging" is, and what the difference is between pre-ignition and detonation, what causes it, and why it is bad for an engine. Basically, both pre-ignition and ...
