It is heart of the engine in which fuel is burnt and the power is
developed
A cylinder in an 1.C. engine have to withstand very high pressures
and temperatures because the combustion of fuel is carried out
within the cylinder.
Therefore, cylinders must be cooled, It may be air cooled in case
‘of low capacity engines (¢.g. two wheelers) or water cooled in
case of high capacity engines (e.g. cars, trucks etc.)
To prevent the wearing of the cylinder block, a sleeve will be
fitted tightly in the cylinder.
Materials used for cylinder are high grade cast iron or alloy
steels. It may also use aluminium alloys where weight is
consideration as in case of acroplanes and automobiles. ©
e[Link] Head :
The function of cylinder head is to seal top end of the cylinder.
It provide space for valve mechanism, spark plug, fuel injector
te.
It is made of cast iron or aluminium.
[Link] and Piston Rings :
The function of piston is to transmit the
‘gas force to connecting rod, hence, to the
crank.
It slides in the eylinder.
Usually, piston are made of cast steel and
aluminium alloy since
It requires strength. These are made
hollow because only one face on cylinder
side is a working face.
BEST[Link] and Piston Rings :
Piston rings made of cast steel are provided to prevent
the leakage of gas to crank case. Upper rings are called
‘compression rings.
Lower piston rings are oiling rings. These rings have a
oil groove with several holes so as to discharge the
excess lubricating oil from cylinder walls to drainage
holes in the piston from where oil is sent back to oil
sump.
4,Gudgeon Pin or Piston Pin :
It is the pin joining small end of the connecting
rod and piston.
It is made of hardened steel by forging process
[Link] Ro
One end of the connecting rod is connected to
piston through a gudgeon pin called small
cend and the other end to erank through the crank
pin called big end.
Connecting rod transmits the piston load (gas
force) to the crank. It converts the reciprocating
motion of the piston into rotary motion of the
crankshaft.
These are made of nickel, chrome and vanadium
steels by forging process. b[Link] and Crankshaft :
Crank is the integral part of the crankshaft.
It rotates about the axis of the crank shaft and cause
the connecting rod to oscillate.
It also carries the flywheel to even out the
fluctuating torque.
Crank and crankshaft are steel forged and machined
to smooth finish.
[Link] Bearings :
Crankshaft is supported in main bearings, which
are lubricated,
Function of bearings is to facilitate smooth motion
to crankshaft and reduce friction between them,
[Link] :
Crank, crankshaft and main bearings are set in the
crankease.
The bottom of the engine is closed by means of oil
sump, which carries lubricating°oil.[Link] :
‘A heavy rotating mass is attached to crankshaft
outside the crankcase called flywheel.
It minimize cyclic variation in speed by storing the
energy during power stroke, and same is released
during other stroke.
It is made of stee! or cast iron dise.
[Link] and Valve Mechanism :
The engine has two valves, namely, the suction valve
and the exhaust valve. These valves are operated by
cam mounted on camshaft.
The camshaft rotates at half the speed of the
crankshaft, in case of four stroke engines with the
help of timing gears having a tooth ratio of I : 2.
[Link] Plug:
The function of a spark plug is to provide a high
intensity spark for combustion of fuel and air in
the cylinder in spark ignition engines
[Link] :
The function of carburettor is to prepare the
mixture of fuel and air and meter it before
sending it to induction system of the engine
according to operating conditions of the engine
in case of spark ignition engines.

knowing the actual working of a two stroke petrol engine.Intake of Petrol and Air mixture :
‘When the piston moves upward, as shown in Fig. (D) a partial vacuum is ereated in the erank case until its

‘The clearing or sweeping out of the exhaust gases from the combustion chamber of the cylinder is
termed “ Scavenging ”
"Scavenging is a process of removing the exhaust from engine cylinder
Why it is required in 2-Stroke Engine ? Or Scavenging system for two stroke
engines
In four stroke engine, for removal of exhaust gases there is a separate exhaust stroke while in two
stroke engine there is no separate exhaust stroke. So, in two stroke engine, special care is required for
removing exhaust gases from engine cylinder.
In two stroke engine, very short time interval is available for removing the exhaust from cylinder and
also there is a possibility of exhaust remaining inside the cylinder and mix with fresh charge.
‘Therefore fresh charge is diluted,

Following difficulties arise due to poor seavenging in LC. engine:
1) Incomplete combustion duc to fresh charge dilution results in higher exhaust emission & loss of power.
2) Fresh charge loss due to shortcieuitin of transfer (inlet) port and exhaust port as both will remain open
during scavenging period (For about 70° for perol engine).
3) Low thermal efficiency because of mixture dilution and fresh charge loss.
44) Increase wear of piston and cylinder liners due to contamination of lubricating il which reduces the
‘quality of lubrication ci
5) Higher temperature and greater heat stress on cylinder wall due to high rate of wear.
Methods of scavenging:
Based on the direction of flow of fiesh charge (or ait) and exhaust gases, scavenging methods are classified
1. Cross scavenging
2. Loop or Reverse scavenging
(@) Full loop or MAN scavenging
(b) Tangential loop or Schnuerle scavenging
(© Curtis scavenging
3. Uniflow scavengingross scavenging
This method of scavenging is widely used
in Tow capacity (upto 8 KW) two stroke 8.1 Cylinder

shown in Fig.

Scavenging air
The ait or mixture moves up to combustion
chamber one side of the eylinder and then
down on the other side of flow out of
exhaust ports
This is possible due to deflector provided
‘on piston top. The deflector guides the air
flow and forces the exhaust to move
outward,
The main advantages a
1. Simple in design and construction,
2. Ithas low cost
3. Less maintenance due to absence of valve, pumps or any drive devices.
The cross scavenging is not very effective, however its used in low capacity petrol engine due to its simplicity
and low cost, It is commonly used with two wheeler engines.
Disadvantages of this system are :
1. Poor scavenging means more amount of exhaust remain inside the cylinder which dilute the fresh charge.
2. Some ofthe fresh charge also goes directly to exhaust without combustion means Fesh charge Tos.Loop or Reverse scavenging
In this method flow of fresh charge makes a loop for better
removal of exhaust gases, hence the short circuiting of the cross
scavenged engine is reduced and improves scavenging
efficiency. Exhaust port
In the loop scavenging, incoming charge is directed in such a Exhaust
way that both charge loss and mixing are minimized
‘There are three types of loop scavenging as follows
Loop or Reverse scavenging:
(a) MAN type loop scavenging method : In this method, the exhaust and
inlet ports are placed on same side,
bbut exhaust port placed slightly above the inlet port as shown in Fig. (a)
This arrangement is suitable for large engine running at medium or high
speed,
= bLoop or Reverse scavenging:
(B) Tangential loop type scavenging method
In this system two pair of inclined inlet ports are directed
‘upward and exhaust ports placed at center as shown in Fig,(b).
The fresh charge enters from an inclined inlet port directed
upward forming "U® shape loop and forces the exhaust which
removes from exhaust port
. Curtis type loop scavenging method
In this system number of inlet port having with different upward
inclination and their inclination varies according to their
positions relative to exhaust port as shown in Fig (¢).
The inlet port near to the exhaust port have smaller inclination
compare to fa inlet port for better scavenging
This promotes a displacement of exhaust gases from the top and
their expulsion from exhaust ports.
Advantages of loop seavenging system are

BESTUniffow scavenging :
In Uniflow scavenging the air enters the cylinder from
‘one end and leaves as exhaust from the other end.
The flow is from end to end called straight flow. The
straight flow reduces the turbulence and hence the Tess
mixing of the fresh charge with burt gases,
Thus, scavenging efficiency is increased. Also, the
direction of flow does not change and hence, there is
‘minimum possibility of short circuiting of fresh charge
and exhaust so scavenging is best out of all three type of |

‘The mixture of oil and petrol sucks through carburetor.
The fuel petrol is vaporised and il in the form of mist goes through crancase into the ¢
rod bearings, piston rings and piston pins.
Most of the lubricating oil in the cylinder bums duc to high temperatures existing in the cylinder, due to
this the carbon deposits are formed on various pars ofthe engine cylinder.
Too much use of oil than recommended quantity will invariably foul the spark plug and the use of less oil
will lead to excessive wear. Therefor, itis essential to use the mixture of oil and petrol as recommended
by the manufacturers.
tne engine has its main crankshaft bearings as plain bearings instead of ball or roller bearings, then the
sgreasers or separate oil cups are often provided in addition to mixing oil with petrol
Also, the separate lubrication is provided to those parts of the engine where the mixture of oil and petrol

If no cooling is provided, the average temperature attained by cylinder and piston will correspond to gas
temperatures in the range of 1000°C to 1500°C which will cause the overheating of engine components,
‘Though these high temperatures will give higher thermal efficiency and reduced friction losses, however, such
high temperature will damage the certain vital parts of the engine due to their mechanical expansion and
distortion caused by thermal stresses.
Also, the eylinder lubrication will be impossible at these high temperatures.
‘Therefore, it becomes necessary to provide cooling system to maintain the temperatures within cert

1. High temperature would result in reduction in strength of material used for engine parts. Local thermal
stresses can develop due to uneven expansion of various pars, often resulting in cracking of engine past.
2. High engine temperature may result in very hot exhaust valve, this leads abnormal combustion
phenomenon such as a pre- ignition, knocking,
3. High cylinder head temperature may result in reduction in volumetric efficiency and power output of the
engine is reduced.
4. The gas side surface temperature of cylinder wall is limited by the types of lubricating oil used and this
temperature ranges fom 160 to 200°C. Beyond this temperature bum, damaging piston and cylinder

Disadvantages of Water Cooling System:
It depends upon the supply of water
[Link] water pump which circulates water absorbs considerable power
31 the water cooling system fails then it will results in damage of engine.

Hence thermostat valve is opened and water pressure
falls, relief valve closes, hence the water circulated

Cold WaterIn most of cooling system, the temperature of water leaving the engine jacket is regulated by
controlling rate of flow through the jackets.
For example, the water temperature is 20°C and engine jacket desired temperature of 85°C,
then temperature of water is raised by 65°C.
This temperature difference is much greater as desired temperature difference of water is
11°C to avoid heat distortion.
This difficulty is avoided by using the by pass cooling system in which the temperature of
water leaving engine jacket is regulated by controlling the temperature of water entering the
jacket,
This method is better than controlling the temperature by changing the rate of flow of water

It is used for small four stroke stationary engines
‘Semi-pressure Lubrication system:

In the semi-pressure system in which the main and crankshaft
‘bearings are lubricated by oil under pressure, and remaining
‘other parts are lubricated by splash lubrication as shown in
Fig.
Oil is drawn from lower portion of the sump through a filter
and is delivered by means of a gear pump at gauge pressure
about | bar to the main and crank shaft bearings
‘The cylinder wall, piston pins, cam and camshaft, timing
‘gears, piston rings etc are lubricated by splash lubrication,
In this method lubrication takes place by combination of
splash and pressure system instead of lubrication only by
pressure system in ease of fll pressure system, hence it is less
costly as compared to full pressure system.
It enables higher bearing loads and speeds to be employed as
compated to splash lubrication system.Full Pressure Lubrication System:
‘The full pressure lubrication system is most commonly used,
in which the lubricating oil under pressure is supplied to the
‘main beating and crank shaft bearing through holes drilled in

A pressure gauge is provided to confirm the citculation of oil

A pressure regulating valve is also provided on the delivery
side of this pump to prevent excessive pressure
‘The fall pressure lubricating system is used for high speed and

The pressurized cooling system as shown in fig.
Consists of radiator with addition vacuum valve to avoid formation of vacuum when the
water is cooled after engine has stopped.
A safety valve in the form of pressure relief valve is provided so that whenever cap oper
the pressure is immediately relieved.
In this system, usually the water pressure is kept between 1.5 bar to 2 bar.As the pump is operated, the pressure of cooling water increase and water passes through the
water jacket.
The temperature of water is increased, results is further increase the pressure of water ay

Then hot water passes through radiator when heat transfer to the air.
If the pressure in the radiator falls below the atmospheric pressure due to cooling of water

The radiator tubes will deformed and radiator will be damaged.
In order to avoid formation of vacuum in the radiator after engine stopped, the vacuug

from fuel tank to carburetor.
In-motor eycle, fuel tank placed
above the carburettor so fuel pump
is not required
In [Link] fuel pump is essential
for injecting the fuel with very high
pressure while in S.I engine fuel
pump is required only to lift the fuel
from fuel tank to carburetor.

A single pump with diaphragm ean be used for this purpose,
Diaphragm moves up and down, create necessary suction to suck the petrol from uel tank,
Diaphragm may be operated mechanically (mechanical pump) or electricity (in case,of electric
pump).Fuel fiom fuel pump enters to the
carburettor and air from atmosphere
passes through air cleaner and then
enters to the carburettor via chock

Some of the important factors which affeet the process of earburetion are

‘The time available for formation of mixture by the carburettor is greatly affected by the speed of the
‘engine e.g. ifan engine runs at 4000 rpm, the time available for the process of carburetion is inthe range
cof 0.0075 to 0.01 seconds.
In such a short period, the fuel is required to bg atomised, mixed with air, vaporized and to be inducted
into the engine cylinder. Therefore, the design of a carburettor becomes of utmost importance to
accomplish the above processes in such a short period, particularly, with regard to design of its ventut
‘The temperature of air plays an important role in the vaporization process of fuel. Higher surrounding aie
temperature increases the vaporization of fuel and homogeneity of mixture. However increased
temperatures reduce the volumetric efficiency, hence, the povwer output,
(Gi) Volatitity of fuet =
Complete vaporization could be achieved by using highly volatile fuels, which are expensive to produce,
or by using heat in intake manifolds to promote vaporization. However, excessive vaporization of fuel
eereases the volumetric efficiency (i.e. mass of mixture inducted into the cylinder per stroke) is
decreased. This reduces the power output of the engine.
(iv)Design of intake manifolds :
When the multi eylinder engines receive a partially vaporized mixture of fuel and air, each cylinder does
not receive the same amount of fuel. Therefore, proper design of intake manifolds becomes essential 10
ensure proper distribution of fuel.
Therefore, we conclude that proper selection of volatile fuel, design of carburettor and intake manifold
affects the carburetion process under various operating conditions of the engine. @
