  • BOSE , CUTTACK 1. Mist Lubrication System
    BOSE , CUTTACK CHAPTER-06 LUBRICATION SYSTEM IN AUTOMOBILE Functions of lubricating oil: A good lubricating oil should perform the following function. · It reduces the friction between the moving parts. · It cools the piston so it also acts as a cooling medium. · It also prevents the leakage of gas between the piston and cylinder because it makes a film of lubricant between them. · It also reduces the noise between the rubbing surfaces. The various lubrication systems used for lubricating the various parts of engine are classified as 1. Mist lubrication system 2. Wet sump lubrication system, and 3. Dry sump lubrication system. 1. Mist lubrication system: Mist lubrication system is a very simple type of lubrication. In this system, the small quantity of lubricating oil (usually 2 to 3%) is mixed with the fuel (preferably gasoline). The oil and fuel mixture is introduced through the carburetor. The gasoline vaporized and oil in the form of mist enters the cylinder via the crank base. The droplets of oil strike the crank base. The droplets of oil strike the crank base, lubricate the main and connecting rod bearings and the rest of the oil lubricates the piston, piston rings and cylinder. The system is preferred in two stroke engines where crank base lubrication is not required. In a two-stroke engine, the charge is partially compressed in a crank base, so it is not possible to have the oil in the crank base. This system is simple, low cost and maintenance free because it does not require any oil pump, filter, etc. However, it has certain serious disadvantages.

  • Vacuum Pumps Add Easy Horsepower to Any Engine. Here's
    The three core components of any vacuum pump system are the pump, drive pulleys, and breather tank. Aerospace Components' billet hardware is too pretty to hide under the hood. The company offers turnkey kits for both small- and big-block Fords. TECH Vacuum Pumps Add Easy Horsepower to Any Engine. BY STEPHEN KIM PHOTOS Here's a Closer Look and How they Work COURTESY OF THE MANUFACTURERS hen a bazillion PSI of cylinder pressure pushes down on the pistons, some of it’s going to leak past the rings and into the crankcase. That’s why old cars have breathers, and newer cars have W PCV systems. While a wee bit of blow-by is completely normal— even in a 100-percent healthy motor—if an engine’s crankcase isn’t ventilated, that wee bit of blow-by is enough to pop oil seals and gaskets in no time. No bueno, homie. So what’s a racer to do? Valve cover breathers are an easy fix for non-emissions engines, but zip-tying rags onto the breathers and using them as disposable “catch cans” is downright ghetto. Instead of venting crankcase fumes into the atmosphere, late-model motors circulate them back into the intake manifold by utilizing a PCV valve. While these closed-loop systems are great for tree-huggers, they also re-circulate tiny oil droplets into the induction tract, which reduces knock resistance and can lead to detonation. Still no bueno, homie. So what’s a racer to do? The ultimate solution is sucking the fumes out of the crankcase with a vacuum pump.

  • LUBRICATION SYSTEM in IC ENGINES Definition of Lubrication
    LUBRICATION SYSTEM IN IC ENGINES Definition of lubrication Lubrication is the action of applying a substance such as oil or grease to an engine or component so as to minimize friction and allow smooth movement. Lubrication System Lubricating system is a mechanical system of lubricating internal combustion engines in which a pump forces oil into the engine bearings. PURPOSE OF LUBRICATION ➢ To reduce the friction between moving parts ➢ To increase the efficiency ➢ To minimize the vibrations ➢ To reduce the corrosion and carbon deposits ➢ To reduce the heat of moving parts ➢ To minimize power loss due to friction ➢ To reduce the noise created by moving parts ➢ To provide cooling to the engine TYPES OF LUBRICANTS ➢SOLID LUBRICANTS ❑ e.g. graphite ,molybdenum ,mica ➢ SEMI-SOLID LUBRICANTS ❑ e.g. heavy greases ➢ LIQUID LUBRICANTS ❑ e.g. mineral oil obtained by refining petroleum. PROPERTIES OF LUBRICANTS ➢ Viscosity ❑ It is a measure of the resistance to flow of an oil ❑ It is measured in saybolt universal seconds (SUS) ❑ It is expressed in centistokes ,centipoises and redwood seconds ➢ Viscosity Index ❑ viscosity of oil decreases with increase in temperature ➢ Cloud point ❑ If an oil is cooled , it will start solidifying at some time . ❑ Temperature at which oil starts solidifying , is called cloud point PROPERTIES OF LUBRICANTS ➢Pour point ❑ It is temperature just above which the oil sample will not flow under certain prescribed conditions ❑ this property is important for operation of engines and substances at low temperature conditions ➢ Flash point and Fire point ❑ The temperature at which vapour of an oil flash when subjected to a naked flame is called flash point ❑ Fire point is the temperature at which the oil ,it once lit with flame ,will burnt steadily at least for 5 seconds ➢ Specific Gravity ❑ It varies between 0.85 to 0.96 SAE Number • Society of Automotive Engineer has recommended SAE viscosity number for lubricating oils.

  • Fuel Sump Maintenance
    Fuel Sump Maintenance WARNING Rural Energy Enterprises, Inc. does not accept liability for the improper use of this information. Installation, service, and maintenance of heating equipment should be performed by a qualified technician. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. When servicing a Toyostove, be sure to pay attention to the fuel sump, the piping from the fuel tank, and the fuel filter. Here are a few easy steps to follow: 1. Replace the fuel tank filter annually. Rural Energy strongly recommends a Golden Rod Water-Block Fuel Filter 2. Inspect the fuel line for kinks, leaks and bad flares. Repair as needed. 3. Pull the inlet strainer from the fuel sump. 4. Clean the inlet filter by spraying the filter from the outside in with carburetor cleaner (this should be done in a well-ventilated work area). 5. With the screen removed, slightly open the service valve on the incoming fuel line. (This valve is not the fusible link valve. The fusible link valve is a fire safety device and should not be used for service). If no service valve is installed, now would be a good time to install one. 6. With the valve open, the fuel should freely come rushing out of the inlet screen hole. If the flow is diminished or the fuel coming out is dirty, the fuel line will need to be flushed out or replaced. 7. Drain the fuel out of the sump. Inspect the fuel for water contamination. If water is present in the sump, the tank and fuel line are contaminated as well.
