This subcourse will provide the motor officer with the information on different engines, their construction, characteristics, and operation. The rising cost of Army materiel and the need for a high state of equipment readiness on the part of Army units dictate the need for an efficient and responsive system of maintenance. Properly trained, well supervised operations and repairmen, supported by a high level of command emphasis for quality maintenance, are the most essential elements of a successful maintenance program. But, without the knowledge of engine components, the supervisor may not know what is causing the malfunctions and high costs of repairs. 2 OD0610 LESSON CONTENT Part A. 1. Engine Construction. Upon completion of Part A, you will be able to answer questions about the characteristics and principles of operation of two-stroke and four-stroke cycle spark ignition engines. a. Internal and external combustion engines. In the internal combustion engine, the combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine cylinder. This is in contrast to external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, where the combustion takes place outside. Figure 1-1 shows, in simplified form, an external combustion engine. The external combustion engine requires a boiler in which fuel is burned. This combustion causes water to boil to produce steam. The steam passes into the engine cylinder under pressure and forces the piston to move downward. With the internal combustion engine, the combustion takes place inside the cylinder and is directly responsible for forcing the piston to move downward. In both type engines, valves are arranged to permit better intake and exhaust. The most common used engine is the internal combustion engine. Figure 1-1. Comparison of Internal and External Combustion Engines. 3 OD0610 b. No matter how many cylinders an engine has, whether 1, 2, 4, 6, or 12, the same actions take place in each cylinder. Much can be learned about construction and operation by studying a single cylinder engine (Figure 1-2). This engine is a four-stroke cycle, internal combustion, gasoline engine; these terms are explained in subsequent paragraphs. Figure 1-2. Single-Cylinder, Four-Stroke, Internal Combustion Gasoline Engine (Cut-Away View). (1) Cylinder and piston. Each cylinder of a typical engine has a piston that reciprocates (moves up and down or back and forth) within the cylinder and is connected to the crankshaft by a link known as a connecting rod (Figure 1-3). Engine pistons transmit the force of the explosion to the crankshaft through the connecting rod, and act as a guide for the upper end of the connecting rod, and serve as a carrier for the piston rings used to seal the piston in the cylinder. The top of the piston may be flat, concave, convex, or a great variety of shapes to promote turbulence or help control combustion. 4 OD0610 (2) Connecting Rod and Crankshaft. The up-and-down movement of the piston is called reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion must be changed to rotary motion to propel the vehicle. The change is accomplished by the crankshaft and a connecting rod which connects the piston (Figure 1-3) and the crankshaft. The connecting rod is attached to the piston by a piston pin or "wrist pin". The pin passes through the bearing and surfaces in the piston and connecting rod. The lower end of the connecting rod is attached to the crankpin on the crankshaft. As the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, the upper end of the connecting rod moves up and down with it. Figure 1-3. Piston, Connecting Rod, and Piston Pin. 5 OD0610 (3) Stroke. The lower end of the connecting rod also moves up and dawn but, because it is attached to the crankpin on the crankshaft (Figure 1-4), it also moves in a circle. Each movement of the piston from the top to the bottom or from bottom to top is called a stroke. The piston takes two strokes as the crankshaft makes one complete revolution, an upstroke and a downstroke. When the piston is at the top of a stroke, it is said to be at top dead center (TDC). When the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, it is said to be bottom dead center (BDC). These positions are called rock positions. Figure 1-4. Relationship of Piston, Connecting Rod, and Crank on Crankshaft as Crankshaft Turns One Revolution. 6 OD0610 (4) Valves. There are two valves (Figure 1-5) at the top of the cylinder. A valve is an accurately machined plug that fits into a machined opening at the top of the cylinder. When the valve is resting in this position, it is said to be seated. When a valve is so positioned, it is closed and the opening is sealed off. When the valve is pushed off its seat, it is opened. The valves in the cylinder are closed part of the time and opened part of the time. One of the valves, called the intake valve, opens to admit a mixture of fuel and air into the cylinder. The other valve, called the exhaust valve, opens to allow the escape of burned gases after the fuel and air mixture has burned. Valves are opened by the camshaft rotation and closed by a spring. Figure 1-5. Intake and Exhaust Valves. (5) Camshaft. The camshaft is designed to open the intake valve at the beginning of the intake stroke and hold it open long enough to obtain the most efficient filling of the cylinder. Likewise, the camshaft opens the exhaust valve at the beginning of the exhaust stroke and holds it open long enough to obtain the most efficient emptying of the cylinder. In most engines, the lobes on the camshaft are designed to open the valves smoothly and gradually. This avoids shock to the valves and allows quietness of operation. The final design is usually a compromise between efficiency and quiet operation. When the cam lobe rotates out of the way, the valve is closed and held closed by spring pressure. In four-stroke engines, each valve is opened every other revolution of the crankshaft, so the camshaft is geared to run at one-half the crankshaft speed. 7 OD0610 2. Classification of Engines. Automotive engines may be classified according to the type of fuel used, type of cooling system employed, or valve and cylinder arrangement. They all operate on the same basic principles, and are constructed to meet the needs of the system it will be used for. a. Fuel. (1) Gas. A hydrocation, obtained from petroleum, that is suitable as an internal combustion engine fuel. (2) Diesel. The substance that is burned to produce heat and create motion of the piston on the power stroke in an engine. b. Cooling. Engines are classified as to whether they are air- or liquid- cooled. All engines are cooled by air to some extent, but air-cooled engines are those in which air is the only external cooling medium. Lubricating oil and fuel help cool engine parts, but there must be an additional external means of dissipating the absorbed heat. (1) Air-Cooled. Air-cooled engines are used extensively in military vehicles as well as in aircraft. This type is used where there must be an economy of space and weight.

    A WHITE PAPER DESCRIBING THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE’S FINAL MODIFICATION THE COUNTERPOISE BI-RADIAL ENGINE Authored by Del Wolverton Chief Science Officer/Founder WolvertonBailey, Inc. SUMMARY This is the year, 2017, that we celebrate 140 years since Dr. Nikolas Otto patented the four-stroke internal combustion engine in 1877. His gasoline engine serves as the origin of the “Otto Cycle” which is used as the basis for seven internal combustion engine variants today. For purposes of this white paper, the four-cylinder Otto engine will be used as the “reference engine.” Since Dr. Otto’s engine was built around the origin of the four-stroke-cycle of the pistons, this allows us to have a piston per cycle. Many changes have taken place during the past century in the size and shape of the engine as designed for various uses, however, this original four-stroke cycle is still used even in the latest internal combustion engine, the Counterpoise Bi-Radial Engine. This discussion will first describe the “basis” Otto Cycle, providing a simple, “math-free” description of each of the four strokes in the cycle. Then, in order to help understand the operation, power, and weight advantages gained in the evolution, the author will take you through the existing variants, all the way to the latest internal combustion engine—complete with the final patented design, the WBI Counterpoise Bi-Radial Engine.

  • Variable Valve Timing - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 114 PM
    Variable valve timing - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 114 PM Variable valve timing In internal combustion engines, variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. There are many ways in which this can be achieved, ranging from mechanical devices to electro-hydraulic and camless systems. Increasingly strict emissions regulations are causing many automotive manufacturers to use VVT systems. Cylinder head of Honda K20Z3. This engine uses continuously variable Two-stroke engines use a power valve system to get similar timing for the inlet valves results to VVT.

The timing, duration and lift of these valve events has a significant impact on engine performance. Without variable valve timing or variable valve lift, the valve timing is the same for all engine speeds and conditions, therefore compromises are necessary.[1] An engine equipped with a variable valve timing actuation system is freed from this constraint, allowing performance to be improved over the engine operating range.

(Received 4 February 2012; accepted 14 May 2012) Abstract. This paper analyzes variability and uniqueness of a combustion process in the spark ignition radial engine having nine cylinders. In the case of single cylinder disturbances, multifractal approach is proposed to identify faults in the measured cylinder pressure. For better clarity, the pressure cyclic response is illustrated by means of wavelet results. The examined engine was powered by an electronic fuel injection, giving the possibility of varying doses supplied to the individual cylinders. Keywords: spark ignition engine dynamics, cycle-to-cycle pressure oscillations, wavelets, non- linear vibrations. Introduction Radial piston engines were used in aviation from its early beginning. Despite extensive development of jet and turbine engines they are still competitive (low cost of purchase and maintenance). Radial piston engines have also a favorable power-to-weight ratio. This article considers the world's largest stellar engine. The power unit has been manufactured in Poland for over 70 years and originally is powered by carbureted system.
