Abstract

— A recognized dealership has some utilitarian vehicles, of brand that he represents, which uses in its distribution network of spare parts and mechanical vehicular services. These vehicles run with natural gas and have been presenting cyclical fails in packaging of number four piston head due to high temperature that is generated in the combustion chamber. This fault involves not only mechanical problems, but also in distribution logistics. Was proposed employ a device water injection, water - ethanol and water - methanol to reduce the temperature in the combustion chamber and verifying that not affected engine performance, through performance tests on a cubes dynamometer. The results show that the temperature decrease is achieved without sacrificing performance in the engine
