Thanks to its catalytic properties, the Katalgen ® additive brings the process of hydrocarbon oxidation closer to the conditions of an ideal reaction. This tendency leads to a smooth and uniform combustion of fuel, which eliminates the radical, chaotic-explosive nature of heat release. As a result, the thermal load on the parts of the cylinder-piston group is reduced and the service life of the internal combustion engine is increased.
The pressure force of the expanding gases does not change in magnitude, but its maximum value does not occur at the upper dead center (TDC), but shifts to the middle region of the piston stroke and drops sharply when the piston reaches the NMT. At this point, the fuel burns completely and by the time the exhaust valves are opened, the gas expansion process ends. This is noticeable by reducing the noise level of the engine, since its maximum peak occurs due to a sharp pressure drop at the time of opening the exhaust valves.
The effect of reducing the values of temperature spikes in the combustion zones increases the inertia to oxidative processes of the oil wedge, designed to lubricate the rubbing surfaces of the cylinder walls and compression rings, and to prevent the penetration of expanding gases from the combustion chamber into the engine crankcase (maintaining compression in the cylinders of the engine block).
The fuel containing the Katalgen ® additive has a higher reactivity at low temperatures. This phenomenon is explained by the radical nature of the chemical compounds that make up the combustion catalysts that can reduce the level of the activity barrier of hydrocarbon molecules before and after the start of their oxidation reaction. At a higher level of the energy state, the hydrocarbon molecules are more susceptible to destruction by the oxidizer, and therefore the rate of ignition of the fuel increases dramatically. In practice, this helps to easily and quickly start the engine in normal mode, without unnecessary loads on the starter and battery.
