  • Small Engine Parts and Operation
    1 Small Engine Parts and Operation INTRODUCTION The small engines used in lawn mowers, garden tractors, chain saws, and other such machines are called internal combustion engines. In an internal combustion engine, fuel is burned inside the engine to produce power. The internal combustion engine produces mechanical energy directly by burning fuel. In contrast, in an external combustion engine, fuel is burned outside the engine. A steam engine and boiler is an example of an external combustion engine. The boiler burns fuel to produce steam, and the steam is used to power the engine. An external combustion engine, therefore, gets its power indirectly from a burning fuel. In this course, you’ll only be learning about small internal combustion engines. A “small engine” is generally defined as an engine that pro- duces less than 25 horsepower. In this study unit, we’ll look at the parts of a small gasoline engine and learn how these parts contribute to overall engine operation. A small engine is a lot simpler in design and function than the larger automobile engine. However, there are still a number of parts and systems that you must know about in order to understand how a small engine works. The most important things to remember are the four stages of engine operation. Memorize these four stages well, and everything else we talk about will fall right into place. Therefore, because the four stages of operation are so important, we’ll start our discussion with a quick review of them. We’ll also talk about the parts of an engine and how they fit into the four stages of operation.

  • AREVA Design Control Document Rev. 4
    U.S. EPR FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT 9.5.8 Diesel Generator Air Intake and Exhaust System The diesel generator air intake and exhaust system (DGAIES) provides the diesel engine with combustion air from the outside. The combustion air passes through a filter, silencer, and heater before being compressed by a turbocharger and cooled by the coolant system before entering the individual cylinders for combustion. The exhaust gas system collects the exhaust gas from the individual cylinders and conveys them via the engine-mounted turbocharger, emissions equipment, and an exhaust gas silencer to the outside. 9.5.8.1 Design Basis The design of the system and EPGB establishes that the arrangement and location of the combustion air intake and exhaust gas discharge are such that dilution and contamination of the intake air will not prevent operation of the EDG at rated power output or cause engine shutdown as a consequence of any metrological or accident condition. Each EDG set has a separate, independent diesel engine combustion air and exhaust gas system, as shown in Figure 9.5.8-1—Emergency Diesel Generator Air Intake and Exhaust System. ● The safety-related portions of the DGAIES are designed in accordance with Seismic Category I. Safety-related systems are required to function following a DBA, and are required to achieve and maintain a safe shutdown condition. ● Safety functions can be performed, assuming a single active component failure coincident with the LOOP (GDC 17). ● None of the safety-related components of the DGAIES are shared with any other division or unit (GDC 5).

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article One-Dimensional Gas Flow Analysis of the Intake and Exhaust System of a Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Kyong-Hyon Kim 1 and Kyeong-Ju Kong 2,* 1 Training Ship Management Center, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Korea; bluefi[email protected] 2 Department of Mechanical System Engineering, Graduate School, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-51-629-6188 Received: 1 December 2020; Accepted: 18 December 2020; Published: 20 December 2020 Abstract: In order to design a diesel engine system and to predict its performance, it is necessary to analyze the gas flow of the intake and exhaust system. Gas flow analysis in a three-dimensional (3D) format needs a high-resolution workstation and an enormous amount of time for analysis. Calculation using the method of characteristics (MOC), which is a gas flow analysis in a one-dimensional (1D) format, has a fast calculation time and can be analyzed with a low-resolution workstation. However, there is a problem with poor accuracy in certain areas. It was assumed that the reason was that 1D could not implement the shape. The error that occurs in the shape of the bent pipe used in the intake and exhaust ports of the diesel engine was analyzed and to find a solution to the low accuracy, the results of the experiment and 1D analysis were compared. The discharge coefficient was calculated using the average mass flow rate, and as a result of applying it, the accuracy was improved for the maximum negative pressure by 0.56–1.93% and the maximum pressure by 3.11–7.86% among the intake pipe pressure results.

  • Development of Electric Supercharger to Facilitate the Downsizing of Automobile Engines
    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 47 No. 4 (December 2010) 7 Development of Electric Supercharger to Facilitate the Downsizing of Automobile Engines YUKIO YAMASHITA*1 SEIICHI IBARAKI*2 KUNIO SUMIDA*１ MOTOKI EBISU*3 BYEONGIL AN*4 HIROSHI OGITA*5 To satisfy both environmental regulations and drivability requirements, high-level control of automobile engines is currently in demand, and electrification is in progress. An electric supercharger, in which a supercharging compressor is driven by a high-speed motor instead of an exhaust turbine or belt, eliminates turbo lag by making use of the motor’s high-speed response. An engine with an electric supercharger offers comparable fuel consumption to a naturally aspirated engine, and is expected to facilitate the downsizing of engines. In this paper, we introduce the electric supercharger developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), including bench test results exhibiting a high-speed response of 1.0-s acceleration time to attain a compressor operating point rated at 2 kW, 140,000 rpm. |1. Introduction With the ongoing movement toward global environmental protection, regulations controlling the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of automobiles are being enforced. Turbochargers have improved the performance of diesel engines; currently, almost all diesel vehicles are equipped with turbochargers. More and more gasoline engines are also being fitted with turbochargers to decrease weight and increase efficiency1. In recent years, engine controls have become widely diversified for the sake of both the environment and operating performance. Variable geometry (VG) turbochargers, which can vary the turbine capacity in response to the engine load, are becoming increasingly popular.

  • Setting Valve Lash on an Inline 6
    SETTING VALVE LASH ON AN INLINE 6 STEP 1: Remove all valve covers from the engine. STEP 2: Rotate the crankshaft until the engine is at TDC #1. Use the markings on the flywheel to determine when the engine is at TDC. Check the rocker arms on cylinder #1, which is the cylinder closest to the flywheel. If the rocker arms are slightly loose and can be moved around a little, the camshaft is in the correct spot to begin checking and setting valve lash. If the rocker arms feel tight, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees until it is at TDC #1 again, then check the rockers on cylinder #1 – they should now move slightly. Another way to verify that the camshaft is in the correct position is to watch the rockers on cylinder #1 as the crankshaft is rotated. If the rockers are moving as the crankshaft approaches TDC #1, the crank will need to be rotated 360 degrees to set the engine for timing. If the rockers on cylinder #1 do not move as you approach TDC #1, the timing is correct and you may begin checking valve lash. Start with the valves indicated on the picture below with a WHITE ARROW. STEP 3: Use a 17mm wrench to loosen the nut around the lash adjuster you are going to set. Use a screwdriver to set the valve lash adjuster so that the feeler gauge of your desired thickness fits into the gap between the rocker arm and the valve tip. The gauge should fit snugly, but should still slide in and out – don’t clamp the rocker arm onto the feeler gauge.
