Seabra Second Supervisor: Eng.

In the motorcycle world, two types of engine are being used: the two-stroke and the four-stroke engines. The latter requires the use of an auxiliary system to control the opening and closing of the valves - the valve train. Traditionally, the valve train uses eccentric lobes to actuate rocker arms that open the intake and exhaust valves while the closing of the valves is done by the force of springs which are compressed during the opening of the valves. The portuguese motorcycle manufacturer AJP Motos SA developed a new valve train - InnerCam - that promises the reliability and stability of more complex systems while retaining the smaller size and low gravity center of some simpler, yet less reliable, systems. Previously analysis work led to functioning prototypes that reveal the grand potential of the system. However, these tests also revealed an unidentified issue that caused a power loss in a small range of engine speeds. A new kinetic and dynamic analysis, as well as a vibration analysis on the system, are needed in order to identify the source of the power loss, mentioned above, that required to model the real mechanism into simpler systems that allow an easier approach and an expedite analysis without compromising the accuracy of the results. This work revealed that the profiles for the valve displacement, velocity and ac- celeration are similar to the theoretical profiles required for the good engine op- eration, which helps to validate the InnerCam concept as a valid system with commercializing potential. The dynamic analysis performed also showed that the engine’s acceleration isn’t an influence to the system’s dynamic balance, neither is the variable point of contact between the rollers and the cam path. However, this variation in the point of contact implies very sharp changes in rotational speed and direction, which may increase the rate of wear of these components’ surfaces. The vibration analysis was performed on the exhaust sub-system and it revealed that the resonance frequency of this system is well above the range of excitation frequencies that the system supports (from 2000 to 12000 rpm). This rules out resonance issues, such as the source of the power loss that was previously described. i ii Resumo O motor de combustão interna (ICE) desempenha um papel importante na nossa sociedade e bastante trabalho tem sido feito para melhorar a sua eficiência, potên- cia e durabilidade. No mundo do motociclismo, são utilizados dois tipos de motor: motores a dois tempos e motores a quatro tempos. Este último requer o uso de um sistema auxiliar para controlar a abertura e fecho das válvulas - o trem de válvulas. Tradicionalmente, o trem de válvula usa lóbulos excêntricos para acionar os braços que abrem as válvulas de admissão e de escape, enquanto o fecho das válvulas é feito pela força das molas que são comprimidas durante a abertura das válvulas. O fabricante de motos português AJP Motos SA desenvolveu um novo trem de válvulas - InnerCam - que promete a durabilidade e estabilidade dos sistemas mais complexos, mantendo as pequenas dimensões e baixo centro de gravidade de alguns sistemas mais simples, mas menos fiáveis. O trabalho de análise anterior levou a protótipos que revelam o grande potencial do sistema em funcionamento. No entanto, estes testes também revelaram uma perda de potência anormal numa pequena gama de velocidades do motor. Uma nova análise cinemática e dinâmica, bem como a análise de vibrações sobre o sistema, foi necessária, no sentido de tentar explicar a perda de potência. Isto exigiu modelar o sistema em sistemas mais simples, que permitiram uma aproximação mais fácil e uma análise expedita sem comprometer a precisão dos resultados. Este trabalho revelou que os perfis de deslocamento, velocidade e aceleração são semelhantes aos perfis teóricos necessários para o bom funcionamento do motor, o que ajuda a validar o conceito InnerCam como um sistema pertinente com po- tencial de comercialização. A análise dinâmica também mostrou que a aceleração do motor não influencia o equilíbrio dinâmico do sistema, nem o ponto de contato variável entre os pinos rolantes e a came. No entanto, esta variação no ponto de contacto implica mudanças muito agressivas na velocidade de rotação e sentido de rotação, que podem acelerar o desgaste das superfícies destes componentes. A análise de vibrações foi realizada para o sub-sistema de escape e revelou que a frequência de ressonância deste sistema está situada bem acima da gama de frequências de excitação que o sistema tem de suportar (2000-12000 rpm). Isto elimina os problemas de ressonância, como a fonte de perda de energia descrita anteriormente. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude to some people without whom I wouldn’t be able to present this thesis or even finish the master’s degree.

  • Valvetrain Repair - Fixing Valve Float Diagnosing Valve Float Issues Found in an Engine from the February, 2009 Issue of Circle Track Magazine by Jeff Huneycutt
    Valvetrain Repair - Fixing Valve Float Diagnosing Valve Float Issues Found In An Engine From the February, 2009 issue of Circle Track magazine By Jeff Huneycutt While making our usual rounds of shops, we came across a problem that plagues many rebuilders and unnecessarily costs them lots of money-and we thought we'd share the solution with you. While performing a rebuild of a late-model Chevy engine, cylinder head specialist Kevin Troutman of KT Engine Development saw the telltale signs of classic valve float. The customer either didn't notice or just didn't bother to mention the problem to KT Engines, and the results were costly. But the good news is that valve float can be avoided. Valve float occurs when the valve springs are incapable of holding the valvetrain against the camshaft lobe after peak lift. This happens when either the weight of the combined valvetrain components or the rpm speed of the engine creates so much inertia that the spring is no longer able to control the valve. The most common response to valve float is to increase the strength of the spring so that it can better control valve motion. But stronger springs generally weigh more and cause their own problems. Achieving the optimum strength-to-weight ratio is a delicate balancing act for every engine builder. The most efficient and dependable engines are able to hit the sweet spot in the triangle created between strength of the valve spring, weight of the valvetrain components (lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, valves, retainers, locks, and springs), and the engine's peak rpm levels.

O. Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, Room C Green 5, Department of Quality and Operations Management, Johannesburg, South Africa. [email protected] Abstract High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) composite rocker arm has been considered for analysis owing to its light weight, higher strength and good frictional characteristics. A 3-D finite element analysis was carried out to find out the maximum stresses developed in the rocker arms made of steel and composite. From the results it was noted that almost same stresses are developed for both the materials (steel and the composite). With this it may be concluded that the stresses developed in the composite is well within the limits without failure. Therefore the proposed composite may be considered as an alternate material for steel to be used as rocker arm. Keywords High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Rocker arm, finite element, modelling, simulation, steel, composite 1.0: Introduction A rocker arm is an oscillating lever that conveys radial movement from the cam lobe into linear movement at the poppet valve to open it. One end is raised and lowered by a rotating lobe of the camshaft (either directly or via a tappet (lifter) and pushrod) while the other end acts on the valve stem.

    SERVICE MANUAL for MARVEL-SCHEBLER TRACTOR and INDUSTRIAL CARBURETORS MODELS DLTX & TSX MARVEL-SCHEBLER PRODUCTS DIV. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION DECATUR, ILL, USA. 2 Principle of Operation Marvel-Schebler Carburetors are used on thousands of tractor and industrial engines and have been designed to provide many years of trouble-free service, however, as in the case of all mechanical devices, they do in time require proper service and repairs. An understanding of their construction and how they operate as well as an understanding of their function with respect to the engine will not only avoid many false leads on the part of the serviceman in diagnosing so-called carburetor complaints but will create customer satisfaction and a profitable business for the progressive service shop. To understand a carburetor, it is necessary to realize that there is only one thing that carburetor is designed to do and that is to mix fuel and the air in the proper proportion so that the mixture will burn efficiently in an engine. It is the function of the engine to convert this mixture into power. There are three major factors in an engine which control the change of fuel and air into power: 1. Compression. 2. Ignition. 3. Carburetion. Carburetion has been listed last because it is absolutely necessary for the engine to have good compression and good ignition before it can have good carburetion. When the average person thinks of “carburetion” they immediately think of the carburetor as a unit. Carburetion is the combined function of the carburetor, manifold, valves, piston and rings, combustion chamber, and camshaft.

  • TR250/TR6 Carbs Part I
    2/21/2019 TR250/TR6 Carbs Part I TR250 - TR6 Carburetor Overhaul Part I - Disassembly & Theory These notes were initially prepared and published as a three part series in the Buckeye Triumphs Newsletter in late winter & early spring of 2001 and then placed on the Buckeye Triumphs website. Over the next six months input and useful suggestions were received from a number of folks. I also rebuilt several more carb sets and realized that the information could be clarified in a number of places. The carbs originally described in these notes were powder coated, which required the carbs be taken apart again and further disassembly of the temperature compensators, bypass valves and float chamber vent valves. Some problems were encountered tuning the powder coated carbs. These problems caused a review the previous suggested tuning procedures. Turns out the procedures were correct, the problem was in another area of the engine. I decided to revise the notes to work in the additional information, corrections and suggestions and add parts describing how to powder coat the carbs and how to install adjustable needles in the early non-adjustable carbs. Hopefully someday I'll be able to add a part describing how to replace the throttle shaft bushes and a part on the use of exhaust gas sensors. NAR 11/2001. Another update: I built an air/fuel monitor and used it to tune the carbs described in Parts I, II & III. The use of the monitor provided considerable insight into the operation of the carbs. However, the optimum adjustment determined from using the monitor was the same as determined earlier without the monitor (see Part III).

  • Poppet Valve
    POPPET VALVE A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most applications a pressure differential helps to seal the valve and in some applications also open it. Other types Presta and Schrader valves used on tires are examples of poppet valves. The Presta valve has no spring and relies on a pressure differential for opening and closing while being inflated. Uses Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the intake and exhaust ports. Poppet valves are also used in many industrial process from controlling the flow of rocket fuel to controlling the flow of milk[[1]]. The poppet valve was also used in a limited fashion in steam engines, particularly steam locomotives. Most steam locomotives used slide valves or piston valves, but these designs, although mechanically simpler and very rugged, were significantly less efficient than the poppet valve. A number of designs of locomotive poppet valve system were tried, the most popular being the Italian Caprotti valve gear[[2]], the British Caprotti valve gear[[3]] (an improvement of the Italian one), the German Lentz rotary-cam valve gear, and two American versions by Franklin, their oscillating-cam valve gear and rotary-cam valve gear. They were used with some success, but they were less ruggedly reliable than traditional valve gear and did not see widespread adoption. In internal combustion engine poppet valve The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the valve stem out one end.
