  • Bentley Mulsanne Turbo and Turbo R Turbocharging System
    Bentley Mulsanne Turbo and Turbo R Turbocharging System Extracts from Workshop Manuals TSD4400, TSD 4700, TSD4737 Basic Principles of Operation – Systems with Solex 4A-1 Carburettor The turbocharger is fitted to increase the power, and especially the low engine speed torque, of the engine. This it achieved by utilising the exhaust gas flow to pump pressurised air into the engine at wide throttle openings. Whenever this occurs, the turbocharger applies boost to the induction system. Under most conditions, the motor runs under naturally-aspirated principles. The inlet manifold may be under partial vacuum but the pressure chest partially pressurised under conditions of moderate power demand. The size of the turbocharger has been carefully chosen to give a substantial increase in torque at low engine speeds. The turbocharger is especially effective from 800rpm, with the engine achieving full torque at less than 1800RPM. Thus, maximum engine torque is available constantly between 1800RPM and 3800 RPM. By comparison to most turbocharging systems, the turbocharger capacity may appear decidedly oversized. This selection is intentional, and is fundamental to the achievement of full engine torque at low engine speeds and the absence of any noticeable delay when boost is demanded. It also minimises heating of exhaust gases by ensuring minimal resistance to gas flow under boost conditions. Furthermore, the design has been carefully chosen to avoid the need for the turbocharger to accelerate on demand, a feature commonly referred to as spool-up. By using a large turbocharger running but unloaded when not under demand, spool-up is not a phenomenon in the system.

To perform these duties competently, you must fully understand the operation and function of the various components of an internal combustion engine. This makes your job of diagnosing and correcting troubles much easier, which in turn saves time, effort, and money. This chapter discusses the theory and operation of an internal combustion engine and the various terms associated with them. Objectives When you have completed this chapter, you will be able to do the following: 1. Understand the principles of operation, the different classifications, and the measurements and performance standards of an internal combustion engine. 2. Identify the series of events, as they occur, in a gasoline engine. 3. Identify the series of events, as they occur in a diesel engine. 4. Understand the differences between a four-stroke cycle engine and a two-stroke cycle engine. 5. Recognize the differences in the types, cylinder arrangements, and valve arrangements of internal combustion engines. 6. Identify the terms, engine measurements, and performance standards of an internal combustion engine.

  • Automotive Fundamentals 1
    AUTOMOTIVE FUNDAMENTALS 1 Automotive Fundamentals Picture yourself in the not-too-distant future driving your new car along a rural interstate highway on a business trip. You are traveling along one of the new automated highways in which individual cars are controlled electronically to maintain a fixed spacing in a lane at a preferred speed. Typically, these cars are traveling at 70mph and are spaced about 25ft apart. The cars are computer controlled via a digital communication link, including a cable buried in the center of the “cruise” lane and follow one another in a pattern known as platooning. Your car will automatically remain in this cruise control lane until you approach your destination exit. You press a button on the steering column and an image of a road map appears faintly visible (so as not to obscure the road ahead) on the windshield in front of you. This map shows your present position and the position of the destination city. The distance to your destination and the approximate arrival time are displayed on the digital instrument cluster. You are talking on your cellular phone to your office about some changes in a contract that you hope to negotiate. You are wearing a lightweight headset that enables you to use the cell phone “hands free” to drive. Dialing is accom- plished by voice command using voice recognition software in your cell phone controller. After the instructions for the contract changes are completed, a printer in your car generates a copy of the latest contract version. Your spouse (in the passenger seat) is sending e-mail messages using the on-board computer that is linked by radio to the Internet.

  • Timing and Vacuum Advance 101 SPARK TIMING and CENTRIFUGAL and VACUUM ADVANCE in TERMS THAT NON -ENGINEERS CAN RELATE to by JOHN HINCKLEY
    Timing And Vacuum Advance 101 SPARK TIMING AND CENTRIFUGAL AND VACUUM ADVANCE IN TERMS THAT NON -ENGINEERS CAN RELATE TO BY JOHN HINCKLEY PHOTO BILL ERDMAN n this day and age, when modern automotive powertrains are com- puter-controlled and engines don’t even use distributors anymore, the knowledge of what distributors did and how they operated to Icontrol ignition timing has begun to fade; for those just entering the classic automotive hobby, the function of the distributor and the notion of “timing” is even more mysterious. To keep your classic Corvette run- ning reliably and at maximum efficiency, some knowledge about the principles of spark timing and how it’s controlled is essential. The objec- tive of this article is to de-mystify the principles of spark timing and to explain why and how your distributor-equipped Corvette’s spark timing is controlled and varied to suit changing driving conditions. 54 CORVETTE ENTHUSIAST corvetteenthusiast.com When someone says their initial timing is set at 10 degrees, that means the distributor is set to fire the spark plugs when the crankshaft is 10 degrees of rotation before the piston reaches top dead center, which is 10 degrees of advance.
