The creation of modern high-powered gas and gas-diesel engines is associated with the solution of two main tasks  – the elimination of abnormal combustion and reduction of engine thermal factor. The paper discusses ways to reduce exhaust gas temperatures, methods to eliminate hot-tube ignition and detonation in single fuel gas engines. The ways of reducing exhaust gas temperatures, reducing the thermal factor of diesel injectors (pressure, duration of injection) and detonation issues in two-fuel gas-diesel engines are considered. The results of computational and experimental studies are presented. It is shown that due to the optimization of intake systems, fuel supply and control algorithms it is possible to significantly reduce the thermal stress of gas and gas-diesel engines, while ensuring the achievement of high values of the average effective cycle pressure up to 28 bar and the achievement of high volume power up to 43 kW/l.
