Chapter (3)
11. Fuel injection system
1. Discuss the function required to be performed by a diesel fuel-injection system.
The fuel injection system of a diesel engine is required to perform the following
functions.
1. To develop the high pressure required to inject fuel in the cylinder. This pressure is of
the order of 200 to 300 kg F/cm2.
2. To meter or measure the correct quantity of Fuel for injection. The quantity varies
according to engine load and speed.
3. To inject the fuel at the correct time.
4. The rate of fuel injection should not be too slow or too fast. Thus too or too fast
injection rate have the same effect as incorrect timing.
5. To atomize (break up) the fuel into fine particles.
6. To distribute the fuel in the combustion chamber such that it will reach all parts of the
combustion chamber, where air is available.
This will result in better mixing of air and fuel and better combustion of Fuel.
12.
1. Common rail system, the pressure required to injection the fuel is developed in a pump.
2. The timing and metering of the fuel is accomplished in the injector.
3. Figure shows the schematic functioning of a common rail system.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
10
4. The fuel, at a high pressure, is supplied to a common rail system by the high pressure
fuel pump.
5. A spring loaded by pass valve maintains constant pressure on the common rail and
returns the excess fuel.
6. The pressure of the common rail can be adjusted by adjustment of the spring tension on
the bypass valve.
7. From the common rail, the fuel is distributed to the individual injectors by different fuel
lines.
8. Each injector contain a needle valve seated against the valve seat by a spring.
9. The valve is operated by a cam-follower-push rod-rocker arm mechanism.
10. The push rod is in two parts with a control wedge between its to portions.
11. The wedges of the different push rods are all connected to the governor or hand control.
12. When the thicker portion of the control wedge is between the two portions of the push
rod,
13. The effective length of the push rod increases, causing increase in the valve lift and in
the quantity of the fuel injected.
13. Filter is installed in a diesel engine fuel system
1. The diesel engine fuel injection pump and fuels injectors are manufactured to very close
to clearance.
2. If the diesel sent to these components is clean and chemically satisfactory.
3. There will be very little wear of these components even after prolonged operation.
4. So fuel filter is installed in the fuel injection system.
14. The purpose of the water separator.
1. The water in diesel may cause trouble in the operation of the engine as also rusting and
rapid wear of components
2. In the diesel supply system to prevent the water from going to the system.
15.
1. Fuel feed pump is used for transfer of fuel from the tank to the injection pump.
2. This pump is usually an integral part of the fuel injection pump and is driven by the cam
shaft of the fuel injection pump.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035

3. A hand primer is provided on the suction side of the fuel feed pump for bleeding of the fuel
system.
16.
1. The power developed by the engine should always by equal to the load on the engine.
2. Hence the supply of fuel should be changed when there is change of engine load.
17.
1. The fuel injector purpose of fuel injection system, receive fuel under pressure from the
fuel injection pump at the proper time.
2. Supplies this fuel to the combustion chamber in the form of a fine spray.
Chapter -4
18. Combustion systems
The process of combustion in a diesel engine, the following requirements should be
met,
(1) Fine atomization
This is achieved by supplying the fuel at a very high pressure through small orifice of
the injector.
(2) Proper Distribution of fuel
This depends on the injection pressure and location of the injector.
(3) High Temperature for prompt Ignition
The temperature of compressed air is dependent on the compression ration, engine
size and cooling arrangement.
(4) Air motion
A high relative velocity between fuel and air particles is desired so as to achieve
better combustion. This is dependent on the design of the combustion chamber.
(5) Proper Mixing of Air and Fuel
This also depends upon the design of the combustion chamber and the spray pattern.
19.
1. The ignition delay is the rate of fuel injection should not be too fast or too slow.
2. Too fast injection will cause greater ignition delay.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035

20. Diesel engine combustion chambers are
1. Open combustion chamber
2. Turbulence combustion chamber
3. Pre combustion chamber
4. Air-cell
5. Energy cell.
21.
1. Open type combustion chamber, all air at the time of the fuel injection is in a single
space and the fuel is injected directly in to the space.
2. The simples design of the open combustion chamber consists of a flat cylinder head and
a flat piston crown.
3. In modern designs the combustion space is made in the piston crown.
4. The different shapes of the open type combustion chamber are shown in figure
5. The piston top and cylinder head are very close to each other at TDC and a very small
clearance is provided between the two for mechanical reasons.
6. Open combustion chamber are generally used on medium and large size engines which
operate on moderate speeds.
7. This type of combustion, it is desirable to have higher injection pressures.

22.
1. The pre-combustion chamber is also located outside the main cylinder.
2. How ever the contains only about one third the air change at end of the compression
stroke.
3. The remaining air is held in the main chamber.
4. Figure shows one design.
5. The pre-combustion chamber is approximately cylindrical in shape and the fuel nozzle
is located at one end.
6. The fuel spray is directed towards the throat.
7. When the fuel is injected in the pre-combustion chamber, the excessively rich fuel-air
mixture will burn with an insufficient amount of air resulting in its expansion.
23.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035

1. Air cell combustion chamber design is an auxiliary chamber which may be located
within the piston or outside the main cylinder.
2. Where a portion of compressed air is trapped at the end of the compression stroke.
3. However, unlike the turbulence or pre-combustion type chamber.
4. The fuel in this design is injected into the main combustion space.
5. The air in the air cell close to the maximum pressure.
6. When the piston starts its motion from TDC towards BDC there is a reduction of
pressure in the main chamber.
7. The higher pressure in the air cell causes its air to move towards the main combustion
space.
8. This causes additional turbulence and better burning of fuel is obtained.
9. Fig-shows an air-cell combustion chamber located in the piston.
24.
1. Shown in figure the design of a energy cell combustion chamber.
2. A narrow passage joints the main combustion space to the energy cell made in two
parts.
3. This energy cell will hold about 10% of the air volume at the end of the compression
stroke.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
15
4. The fuel nozzle is at the other end of the main combustion space such that the spray is
directed towards the passage connecting the main combustion space to the energy cell.
5. Near the end of the compression stroke, the fuel is sprayed in the combustion space in
the direction of the mouth of the energy cell.
6. A part of this fuel, while traveling through the centre of the main chamber burns.
7. The remaining fuel enters the energy cell and starts to burn there
8. The pressure in the energy cell rises due to this, and the products of combustion flow
back to the main combustion space at a high velocity.
9. This causes a swirling action of air and fuel in the two sections of the main combustion
space.
10. This results in better combustion.
Chapter 5
25. Cooling systems
1. The combustion of a fuel in diesel engine produces temperature.
2. Some of the heat produce by combustion is absorbed by the cylinder head, valves,
cylinder walls and piston.
3. This heat has to be removed so that these parts do not get much hot.
4. The temperature of the cylinder walls should not be allowed to increase, 200-250 C.
5. However, too much cooling of the engine is also not desirable.
6. The cooling of engine means carrying away of the heat energy of the fuel which could
otherwise be converted into the work.
7. Thus too much cooling will results in lower thermal efficiency of the engine.
26. The cooling system classified are two types.
1. These are air cooling system, include of two and three wheels, airplanes and small
stationary engines.
2. Next, cooling system is water cooling system, include of water jackets, water pump,
fan, radiator, thermostat, Radiator pressure cap and temperature indicators.

27.
1. The purpose of the water pump installed in cooling system.
2. Water pump driven by a v-belt from a pulls on the engine crank shaft is used to
circulate the water.
28.
1. The purpose of the radiator is installed in cooling system.
2. The radiator is a heat exchange device which transfers the heat of water to the air.
3. If consists of an upper tank, a core and a lower tank.
4. The upper tank is connected to the water outlet from the jackets through top hose and
the lower tank is connected to the pump inlet through the bottom hose.
5. Two designs of radiator core are commonly use tubular and cellular.
29.
1. The schematic diagram of a typical water-cooling system used in a marine engine is
shown in figure.
2. This is a closed-type cooling system with a water-to-water heat exchanger, the
secondary water being obtained from the sea or river
3. After passing through the engine, the primary water (soft water) passes to the heat
exchanger where its heat is absorbed by secondary water (raw water).
4. A by pass control is placed around the heat exchanger to control the water temperature.
5. After being cooled in the heat exchanger, the primary water flows back to the engine
water jackets.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
17
6. An expansion tank is used in the system, to which a pipe from the pump, suction side is
connected
7. This arrangement allows the closed cooling system to overcome the variation in water
volume resulting from expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling.
8. The secondary (raw) water pump draw water from the sea or river.
9. This secondary water is then passed through the lubrication oil cooler and heat
exchanger, after which it is discharge back to the sea or river
10. The system describe is also used in industrial installations, where ample raw water
supply is available.
30. Piston Engine Operation
1. Engine Construction
(a) Spark ignition engine and compression ignition engine are similar in construction.
(b) They both have pistons that move up and down in cylinder.
(c) The same actions take place in each cylinder usually at equally spaced intervals of the
crank shaft rotation as long as engine run.
(d) Automotive engine have three or more cylinder.
Engine Operation
1. The action or events in the spark ignition engine can be divided into four parts.
2. These are intake, compression, power and exhaust.
3. Each stroke is the movement of the piston from BDC to TDC or from TDC to BDC.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
18
Intake stroke
1. During the intake stroke of a spark ignition engine the intake valve is open and the piston
is moving down.
2. This creates a partial vacuum above the piston.
3. Atmospheric pressure air-fuel mixture to flow through the intake port and into the cylinder.
4. As the piston passes through BDC, the intake valve close.
5. This seats off the upper end of the cylinder.
Compression stroke
1. After the piston passes BDC, it starts moving up.
2. Both valves are closed.
3. The upward moving piston compresses the air-fuel mixture into a smaller space between
the top of the piston and the cylinder head.
4. This is the combustion chamber
5. In a typical spark ignition engine, the mixture is compressed into one-eight or less of its
original volume.
Power stroke
1. As the piston near TDC at the end of the compression strake, an electric spark jumps the
gap at the spark plug.
2. The heat from the spark ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture.
3. It burns rapidly, producing high temperature of up to 4500 F (2182 C).
4. These high temperature causes very high pressure which pushes down on the top of the
piston.
5. The connecting rod carries this Fo to the crank shaft.
6. Which turns to move the drive wheels.
Exhaust stroke
1. As the piston approaches BDC on the power stroke the exhaust valve opens.
2. After passing through BDC, the piston moves up again.
3. The burned gases escape through the open exchange port.
4. As the piston nears TDC, the intake valve opens.
5. So as the end of the exhaust stroke.

31. Electronic Fuel injection system
Engines in most 1980 and later automotive vehicle have an electronic engine control
(EEC) system.
It uses a computer to control the ignition, fuel metering and, other related systems.
On most automotive engine fuel metering is performed by an electronic fuel injection
(EFI) system.
Two type of the spark ignition engines are
Multiport fuel injection (MFI) which has a fuel injection in each intake port.
Throttle-body fuel injection (TBI) in which one or two fuel injection are located
above the throttle valves.
with either system;
1. The electric fuel pump supplies the injectors with the fuel under pressure
2. When the engine computer signals the injector a solenoid-operated valve opens as the
end of the injection.
3. The pressure Fo the fuel to spray out.
4. When the proper amount of fuel is injected into the passing air, the valve closes and fuel
injected stops.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035

Simplified electronic fuel injection
1. Figure shows the components in a simplified electronic fuel injection system.
2. Most of fuel injection systems are electronically controlled.
3. The controller is the engine computer an electronic control module (ECM) or power
train control module (PCM )
4. It is also called the onboard computer because it is on board the vehicle.
5. Various parts of the engine and fuel system have sensors that send electric signals to the
ECM.
6. Each sensor is a device that receives and reacts to a signal such as a change in
temperature, pressure or voltage.
7. Some sensors reports the amount of air entery.
8. Using this information, the ECM continuously calculates how much fuel to inject.
9. It then opens the fuel injectors so the proper amount of fuel sprays out to produce the
desired air-fuel rotio.
32. An electronic fuel injection system is a type of electronic control system.
It includes sensors or input devices a controller (ECM or PCM) and various actuators or
output devices that are operated by the ECM or PCM.
Sensors that report to the ECM include
(1) Engine speed
(2) Throttle position
(3) Intake manifold vacuum or manifold absolute pressure
(4) Engine coolant temperature
(5) Amount and temperature of the intake air solenoid-operated fuel injector
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
21
33. Solenoid
(1) The solenoid-operated injector is turned on and off by the ECM.
(2) A electric solenoid in the injector opens and closes it.
(3) The solenoid has a small coil of wire that becomes magnetized when a voltage is applied.
(4) The magnetism lifts the armature which rises a needle valve or pintle off its seat.
(5) Fuel sprays out as long as the pintle is raised.
(6) When the voltage stops, the coil loses its magnetism.
(7) Then the closing spring pushes the pintle back down onto the seat.
(8) This stops the fuel spray.
34. Mechanical Fuel Injector
1. The figure shows a continuous injection system.
2. It has a mechanical fuel injector a each intake port.
3. The injector is basically a fixed orifice with a pressure operated needle valve in the end.
4. The amount of the fuel injected depends on the pressure applied to the fuel.
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
22
5. The open and closed positions of the needle valve in the mechanical injector are shown
in figure.
6. As fuel flows through, the passing fuel causes the needle valve to open and close
rapidly.
7. This chattering, which sometimes can be heard helps break the fuel into a fine mist
while the engine is running.
8. When the ignition key is turned off, the electric fuel pump stops and fuel pressure
drops.
9. Then the spring forces the needle valve to remain closed.
10. This prevents fuel from dribbling into the intake part.
Chapter 5
35. Carburetors
Purpose
The carburetor is a mixing device that can supply a spark ignition engine with a
combustible mixture of air and fuel.
The carburetor is mixing device that can supply a spark ignition engine with a
combustible mixture of the air and fuel. Two basic type of carburetor are based on
automobile engines. These are the fixed-venturi (FV) carburetor and the variable-venturi
(VV) carburetor.
36. Fixed-venturi carburetor systems
(1) Float system
(2) Idle system
(3) Main metering system
(4) Power system
(5) Accelerator-pump system
(6) Choke system
Mechanical Engineering ME 2035
23
37. Float system
In the carburetor, the float bowl is supplied with fuel from the fuel tank by a fuel
pump.
(2) The figure shows the float system
(3) A vent in the top of the float bowl allows the atmosphere pressure to act on the fuel in
the float bowl.
(4) The atmospheric pressure pushes the fuel up through the fuel nozzle
(5) If air is passing through the carburetor, the air flow through the venture produces a
vacuum around the discharge end of the fuel nozzle.
(6) The resulting pressure differential causes fuel discharge from the fuel nozzle.
(7) The resulting pressure differential causes fuel discharge from the fuel nozzle into the
passing air.
(8) The float system includes a small fuel reservoir with a float and needle valve.
