Abstract:
Temperature is one of the effective parameters in erosion of spark plug electrodes. In this research, temperature of
spark plug was measured in engine's different operation conditions with two types of fuels: compressed natural gas and
gasoline. Test results showed that, temperature of center electrode is lower than ground electrode and maximum
difference between them is ۱۱۰ºC that occurs at ۲۵۰۰ rpm and full load conditions. Maximum temperature of spark
plug occurs with CNG under full load conditions and ۶۳۸۰ rpm. In these conditions, ground electrode’s temperature
reaches to ۹۶۰ºC which is very prone to pre-ignition. On the other hand, center electrode’s temperature is ۱۹۵ºC higher
than the same condition with gasoline as a fuel which cause more electrode erosion rate. This temperature rise lead to
cold type spark plug selection because of its better heat transfer. Spark plug erosion was studied after endurance tests
with CNG as a fuel. Electrodes have non uniform wear patterns and consequently gap growth is not uniform. The
average gap growth for two sets of spark plugs after two similar ۲۰۰ hr endurance tests is ۴۹.۶%
