the engine with the capacity of 1.8 dm with turbo injection
used successfully in Skoda Superb manufactured in the
Czech Republic. The constructors placed the main focus on
achieving the highest performance possible with optimal
fuel consumption. During the engine design phase, the
following assumptions were followed:
a) achieving high mechanical and thermodynamic
performance in combination with compact structure,
b) meeting the requirements with respect to
environmental protection, noise level, and fume content,
c) meeting the requirements of safety regulations
regarding, for example, pedestrian safety or passenger
compartment deformation resulting from a head-on crash,
d) reasonable price thanks to the reduction of
manufacturing costs,
e) ease of performing repairs and technical servicing,
f) the possibility of longitudinal and transverse
positioning in different car model.
The concept of the operation of a TSI engine was
inherited from its predecessor (TFSI engine). However, a

Tests and analysis of the performance of the TSI engine


In order to test the performance of the 1.8 TSI engine,
nominal power, torque, exhaust emission and fuel
consumption tests were performed on the engine. At the
same time, the 1.8 T indirect fuel injection engine was
tested in order to obtain comparison. Both engines were
fitted in the Skoda Superb model with the sedan body type
[1].
All the tests were performed in accordance with the
European Directive 98/69/EC, on the chassis test stand of
one of the vehicle diagnostics point in Poznań.
The NEDC driving test constituted the first part of the
tests conducted. It made it possible to determine the
amount of pollution emitted and the fuel consumption (table
1). The NEDC test is a simulation of a car drive in the city
and outside of the city. Before the test the vehicle tested
should not run for 6 h. After the vehicle is started, the test
begins immediately and the measuring devices are
activated [3].

In the course of the test, the appropriately prepared


fumes were collected into the so-called measurement sack.
Fume preparation involves cooling them and mixing them
with a certain amount of air so as to achieve the desired
pressure and temperature values.
Fume analyzers (CO2, CO, HC i NOx) performed
measurements of momentary content of a given component
of the fumes contained in the measurement sack every
second and recorded the results as values modulated
appropriately in relation to the engine load. Finally,
momentary values were added up, giving the full result of
the measurement performed in the NEDC test. A simplified
view of the test stand is presented in the fig. 8 [3]. Fig. 9. Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI engine speed characteristics [8]

particulate matter in the exhaust gas, which is why during
this study there were no measurement of this component
and it was not included in this study.
The second part of the tests involved determining the

indirect injection engines (fig. 10) including the
determination of the maximum nominal power and the
maximum torque. The characteristics determined in
accordance with Directive 98/69/EC.
