METHODS OF FUEL INJECTION USED in C.I ENGINES ( DIESEL ENGINES)

 There are two methods of fuel injection used in C.I Engines :

 a) Air Injection System 

 b) Air-less or solid Injection


A) AIR INJECTION SYSTEM :

    In this method, initially air is compressed to a very high pressure by means of compressor. The fuel was metered and pumped to the nozzle. which was also connected to a source of high pressure air. When the nozzle was opened, the air would sweep the fuel into the engine and deliver  a well atomized spray. This method is not used now - a -days because of complicated and expensive system. 

B) AIRLESS OR SOLID SYSTEM :

   This method has greatly replaced the air injection method. The fuel under pressure is directly injected into the combustion chamber in atomized state. It requires a pump to deliver the fuel at high pressure ( as high as 300bar abs). It may be further classified into the following two commonly used systems.

i) Common Rail System 

ii) Individual Pump System 


i) COMMON RAIL SYSTEM :

    Multi-cylinder high pressure pump is used to supply the fuel at a high pressure to a common rail on header. A metered quantity of fuel is supplied to each cylinder from the rail.




ii) INDIVIDUAL PUMP SYSTEM :

    In this system, each cylinder of the engine is provided with an individual injection valve, a high -pressure pump and a metering device. It is quite compact but since at all operating loads and speeds each pump in this unit should very precisely match its companions, extremely close tolerances are required during manufacturing. Therefore, it involves higher costs.

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...

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.
