Scientific activityThe Department of Internal Combustion Engines was founded in 2007. The research areas of inter-est include but are not limited to the analysis of me-chanical losses of internal combustion engines, their contact surfaces, and auxiliary equipments as well as decreasing the mechanical losses of internal combus-tion engines.

The conditions for the R&D are ensured by the follow-ing laboratories and testing equipment:

� A dynamometer capable for the testing gasoline and diesel engines, their full-scale examination, as well as for the automatic execution of prepro-grammed test cycles and the evaluation, analysis of the test results.

� A radionuclide (RNT) wear measurement system, which makes high-accuracy and fast online meas-

urement of wear in internal combustion engine possible.

� Tribotest equipment, which helps to perform basic and applied research regarding wear and friction of the material of contacting components and also in defining optimal lubrication conditions.

� Modern electronic microscopes for the examina-tion of the effect of the manufacturing and wear processes on surface structures.

� Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) equipment for the analysis and optimization of the flow processes in the engine.

� A thermal camera for the examination of the distri-bution of surface temperature.

� A high-speed camera for the exploration and analy-sis of the dynamic behaviour of driving systems (V-belt or chain drive, valve control, etc.).
