The coating agent of the wheel rim to warm the F1 tire
Wheel rim coatings to heat the tyres
Although thing had been known for a long time、Recent infrared thermal image、It has been shown the real effect of the rim coating agent to manage the tire temperature。This coating agent is in the Avanti wheel of the Mercedes、It was first taken in conjunction with the depression of the internal rim。after that、Red Bull also admitted that you are using the same process to OZ Racing's wheel。However, if they are、I had made a groove instead of a recess in the internal wheel。on the other hand、Ferrari has also been said to be coated with OZ Racing's wheel。
The recently、Black coating agent is in the near Sassuoro of ItalyNanopuromu, Inc.ProductsPorishiruIt was found that the。this is、It is a solvent type paint containing a polymer of silicon、mainly、It is designed to protect all types of material to surface friction。This product is usually、9It is sprayed to form a few microns of film to reach a hardness of H。This product fills a small gap of imperfect surface of the wheel、It is a very smooth surface、It might help to suppress turbulence within the wheel。
However、The team is interested in this product is black。Because、Rim of the brake exhaust heat、This is because help to capture the magnesium alloy wheel from the rim。Since a rim itself very high thermal conductivity、Quickly spread throughout the body when the heat is conducted to the metal。Another part is also transmitted to the tire through the tire bead。as a result、Team is maintained at a temperature that was more constant the tire、It is possible to suppress a sudden drop in tire temperature even when running a long straight。By warming the rim properly、The temperature of the tire wall is maintained、It is prevented that the tire cools suddenly。Finally、Because the tire does not decrease the temperature than in the case of no treatment、Grip is high at the time of turn-in。
Infrared thermal images in the figure、This process indicates whether the function how admirably in Reddobuburu Racing。The three images are、It was taken from the vehicle-mounted camera of the circuit-of-the-in the United States of America GP in Q1 of Sebastian Vettel machine。In the first one approach to turn 19、2Th in the turn-in point of turn 19、And the third piece is the end of the pit straight、It was taken before braking。In all the three images、Temperature of the rim is relatively high、Also at the end of the straight、Tire it can be seen that is still warm the entire tread width。A similar image Mercedes also similar、Effect was not as pronounced as this。Also、Ferrari wheel as seen by the infrared camera is no warm、That the temperature than the other team is low it has been suggested。
New or "conservative" operating temperature of the tire of Pirelli's what extent is not yet known、But this technology is likely to continue to use even 2014。further、Nanopuromu Inc.、It has been referred to the possibility of the use of a coating agent with respect to the composite and compound、It is almost certainly also be used for engine parts。

The Lotus trying to get back on top of the Constructors': the team at Enstone is only eighth with just eight points in the bag and count in the second half of the season to make a turnaround to his disastrous season, heavily influenced by the power unit Renault.
In Hungary in circles of E22 It had been painted Polysil also in the inner part of the wheels Oz to improve the heat exchange with the Pirelli tires, widening the use which usually is limited the outside. In the image Nugnes are also visible sensors that detect the temperature of the rim and inside of the tires. The same solution will also be used at Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Technique: Incoming pistons handled nanopolymers
The Nanoprom has revealed an exclusive treatment specifically designed for piston engines Formula 1.
The summer break is coming to an end and with it the insistent rumors on coating of discharges Ferrari. This weekend, indeed, We should find out if and how the engineers Horse intervene on the tailpipes of F14T. What we know for sure is that the NANOPRO, the Italian company formerly known in the circus for painting circles silicon (Polysil), with the lining of the discharge has nothing to do.
This was also the holder of Nanoprom, the eclectic Gianluca Falleti, a refute the possible involvement of his company outside of the fields that we already know (treatment circles, visors and body). However Mr.. Falleti made no secret that his company, leader in nanotechnology, It is at work even on other applications of its products, some of which have their own power units.
Obviously we could not ask him to tell us more and we managed to snatch some interesting news. What intrigued us most is on the treatment of the heart of each heat engine: the piston. The Nanoprom, indeed, He has developed a particular treatment of the pistons based nanopolymers silver, carbon, aluminum and graphene designed specifically to improve the performance of engines. Thanks to this surface treatment of the pistons, if you have one reduction of the friction coefficient by ten times compared to untreated pistons; this means greater smoothness inside the cylinders and thus improved efficiency of the mechanical parts involved, as well as a lesser wear their.
The treatment, then, also colors temperature in the various phases of use, with an important improvement of the dissipation capacity of the heat that increases the 5-7% reaching even the 30% When temperatures rise to 300 °.
And there's more: treatment to nanopolymers, as revealed to us the Nanoprom, It has a fundamental characteristic: the surfaces, When treated with this special product, allow gas to flow more quickly, with a drastic reduction of carbon residues. The treatment, also, It has also been studied for a better lubrication party, increasing the permanence of the fluids with greater uniformity on the surfaces.
The results obtained in the experimental phase of treatment are truly amazing, as the figures we have provided the Italian company (certainly a fraction compared to those collected) and given the many criticality shown by current Power Unit it is plausible that treatment dell'italianissima Nanoprom soon become a "must" for all the engines of Formula 1 and not only.

Polysil circles in front of the Red Bull Racing
The main teams of the Circus have generalized the use of Polysil also to the front wheels, while last year the use of nanotechnology silicon black was especially pointed to the rear wheels.

Gian Luca Falleti He has designed another of his analysis of the new single-seater 2014 the Jerez test. The race strategy in Grand Prix 2014, indeed, will force pilots to stay long in the wake of other cars in an attempt to save fuel, seen that the limit of 100 kg granted by new FIA regulations petrol, impose some unusual tactics.
with single outlet mounted on the top and not on the bottom of the cars, i pilots will risk getting dirty much more visors Helmet: that's why NANOPRO Sassuolo has studied a specific product derived from Polysil.
it Polysil, indeed, It is a silicon film, formed by nanotechnology, which ensures a 'high abrasion resistance, he's able to slide off the drops of oil or water, without dirt adhere. Not only, but its features would also have a value in’I reduce the risk of misting of the visor in the event of moisture or rain. It will be interesting to see who will be the first rider to experience this novelty…
