Various Components in Simple Carburetor

 The different components in simple carburetor are, 



i ) Tickler.

    Ticklers are the devices are used for flooding of the carburetor while starting an engine. More fuel  would be provided by depressing the tickles which would depress the float.

ii ) Choke. 

    A choke is a simple butterfly valve ( i . e same as throttle valve) fitted at the top  of the air horn. 

    It may be operated by hand or it may be automatic. During starting, the choke is kept closed in   order   to   provide a rich mixture so that very small quantity of air passes through it. The suction   applied to the   nozzle is quite sufficient to deliver a large percentage of fuel. In order to open the  choke Immediately  after the start of the engine, any of the following two methods are employed.  

    a) Choke is fitted eccentrically. When the engine starts , the air force on the two side of the choke  spindle are unequal. It produces turning moment to open the choke.

    b) A strangler valve is fitted on the choke. When the engine is started , the stranger is opened against  spring pressure by the air pressure which pressure which forces to allow entry of air in the        carburetor.

iii) Adjustable area jet : 

     In this arrangement, a long tapered needle is screwed into the jet. During starting, the screw is  loosened so that the area of the jet is increased to provide increased fuel. 

iv) Separate air passage :

     A separate air passage is provided just below the throttle valve. During starting, throttling valve is kept closed and the auxiliary passage allows the flow of  air and the fuel goes through it because    whole of suction is now applied to it resulting in rich mixture.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...

MELTING FURNACES FOR FERROUS METALS : CUPOLA AND ITS WORKING

Various types of melting furnaces are used in different foundry shops, depending upon the quantity of metal to be melted at a time, and the nature of work that is carried out in the shop.  The primary objective in cupola is to produce iron of desired composition, temperature and properties at the required rate in the most economical manner. Besides, this furnace has many distinct advantages over the other types, e.g., simplicity of operation, continuity of production, and increased output coupled with a high degree of efficiency.  Description Of a Cupola : The Cupola Furnace consists of a vertical, cylindrical steel sheet, 6 to 12 mm thick, and lined inside with acid refractory bricks or acid tamping clay. The refractory bricks or the tamping clay used consist of  silicon oxide acid (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3). The lining is generally thicker in the lower where the temperatures encountered are higher than in the upper region. The shell is mounted either on a brick work fo...
