Advance development in Dual Mass Flywheel

Abstract

The growing concerns for the environment and the adoption of more stringent regulations have marked the development of new engines technologies. This result in the development of more efficient engines and also allowed to deliver more torque and power at low revolutions in these engines. However, this caused an increase in the level of vibration. The traditional clutch discs are unable to absorb such vibrations. This is where the Dual Mass Flywheels play a key role. In the present study the focus is on development of new flywheel for two stroke engine system using helical springs and multi-mass system to improve inertia of flywheel and to improve the engine efficiency. The aim of this project is to do the comparative analysis of spring mass flywheel Vs Conventional flywheel. This includes fabrication of a prototype, design of prototype components, analysis testing of prototype at different speed and load, modification in prototype if required. It is observed that multi mass flywheel system improves power output and fuel efficiency of the two stroke engine.
