  • Diagram 1 IGNITION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE on GASEOUS GENERATOR SYSTEMS
    Information Sheet #103 IGNITION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE ON GASEOUS GENERATOR SYSTEMS Generator systems, when arranged as an engine connected to an AC alternator to generate electrical power, have a variety of engine types to choose from. One engine frequently found in generator systems is a spark ignition engine. Spark ignition engines utilize a variety of fuels for their combustion cycle, with the most common fuel on medium to heavy duty being Natural Gas and Liquid Petroleum. Smaller units are frequently gasoline powered. Whatever the fuel, all spark ignition engines work on the Buckeye Power Sales same principle of combustion and have unique components for ignition. Should these components not be maintained in proper Reliable Power Professionals Since 1947 running order, emergency power, when required, will be reduced, or even lost. 1.0 KEY COMPONENTS WITHIN A SPARK IGNITION ENGINE: Gaseous generator sets are a very reliable power supply for prime and standby power applications, but as for any prime mover, or reciprocating engine, they have components within their ignition system that have to be maintained to ensure trouble free operation. (See Diagram 1) The principal components within a spark ignition engine are: 1.1 SPARK PLUG – Most EPA compliant gaseous/gasoline powered reciprocating engines operate on the 4-stroke Otto-Cycle. To ignite the fuel on the combustion cycle, they use a spark plug. There is one spark plug per cylinder, for example a Vee eight-cylinder engine will have 8-spark plugs, and a straight 6-cylinder engine will have

  • FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM for CI ENGINES the Function of a Fuel
    FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FOR CI ENGINES The function of a fuel injection system is to meter the appropriate quantity of fuel for the given engine speed and load to each cylinder, each cycle, and inject that fuel at the appropriate time in the cycle at the desired rate with the spray configuration required for the particular combustion chamber employed. It is important that injection begin and end cleanly, and avoid any secondary injections. To accomplish this function, fuel is usually drawn from the fuel tank by a supply pump, and forced through a filter to the injection pump. The injection pump sends fuel under pressure to the nozzle pipes which carry fuel to the injector nozzles located in each cylinder head. Excess fuel goes back to the fuel tank. CI engines are operated unthrottled, with engine speed and power controlled by the amount of fuel injected during each cycle. This allows for high volumetric efficiency at all speeds, with the intake system designed for very little flow restriction of the incoming air. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN INJECTION SYSTEM For a proper running and good performance of the engine, the following requirements must be met by the injection system: • Accurate metering of the fuel injected per cycle. Metering errors may cause drastic variation from the desired output. The quantity of the fuel metered should vary to meet changing speed and load requirements of the engine. • Correct timing of the injection of the fuel in the cycle so that maximum power is obtained. • Proper control of rate of injection so that the desired heat-release pattern is achieved during combustion.

With examples from the BOSCH and BLAUPUNKT production range their application in regulators, breakerless ignition modules, electronically-controlled fuel injection systems and car radios is illustrated. The elements and techniques used to assemble the hybrids, and the advantages which can be gained are discussed. 1 INTRODUCTION thick film ciruits though still purely resistance networks- secured a firm place in automotive The application of electronics, and especially electronics and even at this time enabled cost-saving microelectronics in motor vehicles, has the aim of matching of functions (Figure 1). increasing service value, ease of operation and safety, In 1978 a hybrid regulator was introduced (Figure of lessening the environmental impact of the vehicle 2). It is mounted in a hermetically-sealed metal housing and reducing the energy consumption, especially in approximately corresponding to TO 3 and consists only operation.

  • Installing the Distributor and Static Timing of the Chevrolet Inline 6
    Installing the Distributor and Static Timing of the Chevrolet Inline 6 Following these procedures will guide you in correctly indexing the distributor assembly and initially setting the ignition timing advance. 1: The first step in this procedure is to insure that the #1 piston is brought to the top dead center (TDC) firing position. The firing position is TDC between the piston’s upward compression stroke and the subsequent downward power stroke. To achieve # 1 TDC firing position, perform either one of the following tasks. A: If the timing gears are exposed, rotate the crankshaft to bring the crank and cam gear timing marks as indicated in figure 1. When viewing the gears from the front, the timing mark on each timing gear should be at approximately the 10 o’clock position. To precisely verify TDC, use any suitable straight edge through the center holes of the gears and the timing marks (see dotted line in fig. 1). This properly indexes the camshaft/crankshaft to #1 TDC firing position. B: If the timing gears are not exposed, properly indexing the camshaft must be done by carefully viewing the lifters (preferred) and/or valve train. Start this procedure by rotating the crankshaft to bring the #1 piston to TDC (approximate). This can be achieved by viewing through the spark plug hole or by inserting a drinking straw or similar tool into the spark plug hole to help indicate TDC. The flywheel markings and bell-housing pointer can also be used for this purpose if those components have been installed on the engine.
