Abstract
The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the fuel economy of a spark-ignition engine when adjusting its energy indicators using a combined method and different ways of shutting off a group of cylinders. The object of the study is a spark-ignition engine, the energy indicators of which are regulated by a combined method. The subject of the study is the influence of the method of disconnecting a group of cylinders on the fuel economy of a spark-ignition engine. The purpose of the study is to evaluate various methods of disconnecting a group of cylinders from the point of view of improving the fuel efficiency of a spark ignition engine.It was established that the greatest improvement can be achieved with free admission of heated air into the disconnected cylinder group. In comparison with turning off a group of cylinders with an unchanged gas exchange system, the saving is 1.5 ... 13.5%. With the free intake of unheated air into the disconnected group of cylinders, fuel efficiency improves by 1.5 ... 10.5% compared to an unchanged gas exchange system.
