    Air-Cooled Cylinders 1

    Air-Cooled Aircraft Engine Cylinders An Evolutionary Odyssey by George Genevro Part 1 - From the Past Should aircraft engines be liquid-cooled or air-cooled? This “difference of opinion” is about a hundred years old and without a doubt the argument will continue as long as piston engines power the airplanes we fly. The manner in which the question is stated is misleading, however, since all waste heat that comes through the structure of an engine is eventually delivered to the air. In “liquid-cooled” engines the coolant can be water, ethylene glycol, a mixture of the two, or one of the many other liquids that have been tried and found wanting. Its primary purpose is to carry heat from the cylinder barrel and head to the radiator through which air, the actual cooling medium, flows. Proponents of liquid-cooling–now as in the past–can point to some benefits and operational advantages such as lessened hazard of shock cooling an engine, being able to direct dedicated coolant flow to critical areas in the cylinder head such as the exhaust valve seat and guide area, flexibility in radiator placement, greater structural rigidity in the engine, and having the option of designing airframes with a relatively small cross-sectional area that could still house a powerful engine. With every advantage, imagined or real, there is almost always a price to pay. Those who opted for liquid-cooled engines had to accept added weight, greater possibility of battle damage in military applications, and greater system complexity as the penalties. Such is life.

The purpose of a super charger is to increase the density of air entering the engine to create more power. A supercharger is the compressor is powered by the rotation of chain sprocket in the bike. In addition to the foregoing advantages the supercharger gives greater mechanical efficiency and fuel economy .Moreover, the engine can be made smaller ,the compression can be well below that at which detonation occurs and still afford a surplus of power ,heat losses in the water jacket are reduced because larger chargers of mixture in the cylinders Keyword: - carburetor, chain sprocket etc…. 1. INTRODUCTION A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power. Power for the supercharger can be provided mechanically by means of a belt, gear, shaft, or chain connected to the engine’s crankshaft. When power is provided by a turbine powered by exh aust gas, a supercharger is known as a turbo supercharger – typically referred to simply as a turbocharger or just turbo.

February 9, 2011 In these two consolidated putative nationwide class actions, we conduct a choice-of- law analysis and then re-evaluation of whether the plaintiffs have satisfied Rule 23's requirements for class certification. Moving for class certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3), the plaintiffs seek to represent a class of owners or previous owners of aircraft equipped with engines designed and built by Lycoming Engines.1 They claim that the engines were manufactured with defective crankshafts that can cause a total loss of engine power and in-flight engine 1 The plaintiffs named three defendants, Lycoming Engines, Avco Corporation (“Avco”) and Textron, Inc. Since the motion for certification was filed, Textron has been dismissed. The two remaining defendants are referred to collectively as “Lycoming.” Case 2:06-cv-02993-TJS Document 152 Filed 02/09/11 Page 2 of 31 failures, and that Lycoming knew of and concealed the defect that prevents the crankshafts from functioning as intended. They seek damages for the cost to replace the defective crankshafts, which includes parts, labor, transportation, storage, insurance, the loss of the use of the aircraft while the crankshafts are being replaced and the diminished value of the aircraft.

LES. 45, LiL w77 Washington February 1949 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS TECHNICAL NOTE NO. 1790 INVESTIGATION OF ICING CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPICAL LIGHT-AIRPLANE ENGINE INDUCTION SYSTE By Willard D. Coles SUMMARY The icing characteristics of two typical light-airplane engine induction systems were investigated using the carburetors and mani- folds of engines in the horsepower ranges from 65 to 85 and 165 to 185. The smaller system consisted of a float-type carburetor with an unheated manifold and the larger system consisted of a single- barrel pressure-type carburetor with an oil-jacketed manifold. Carburetor-air temperature and humidity limits of visible and serious Icing were determined for various engine power conditions. Several .methods of achieving ice-free induction systems are dis- cussed along with estimates of surface heating requirements of the various induct ion-system components. A study was also made of the icing characteristics of a typical light-airplane air scoop with an exposed filter and a modified system that provided a normal ram inlet with the filter located in a position to Induce inertia separation of the free water from the charge air. The principle of operation of float-type carburetors is proved to make them inherently more susceptible to icing at the throttle plate than pressure-type carburetors.. The results indicated that proper jacketing and heating of all parts exposed to the fuel spray can satisfactorily reduce or eliminate icing in the float-type carburetor and the manifold.
