• The choke valve of usual type is used for
starting purpose. During starting the choke
valve is closed postion, the whole of the
engine suction is applied to the main nozzle
which delivers the fuel.
• As the air flow is quite small, the mixture
supplied is very rich.
33. Idling and low speed running
• For idling, rich mixture of small quantity is
required. During idling , the throttle valve is
almost closed. The whole of engine suction is
applied to the idle port.

• Generally 6-12 volt battery is used.
• The ignition coil consist of two windings
primary winding and secondary winding.
• The primary winding consist of thick wire with
less number of turns.
• The primary winding has 200-300 turns and
secondary has 21,000 turns with sufficient
insulation to withstand voltage.
57. Battery coil Ignition system

61. ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
• There are some drawbacks in the magneto
ignition system. Firstly contact breaker is only
a mechanical device which cannot operate
precisely at high speed and the it gets burned.
• The conventional contact breaker is given the
satisfactory performance only about 400
sparks per second.
62. ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
• The disadvantages of convection contact
breaker assisted ignition system can be
completely eliminated by used of electronic
controlled ignition system using contactless
triggers to give timing system.
64. Transistorised ignition system
• A transistorized interrupt a relatively high
current carrying circuit, i.e., it controls high
current in the collector circuit with less
current in the base circuit.
• A transistor is used to assist the work of
contact breaker. Hence this system is known
as transistor assisted ignition system or
transistorized ignition system.
65.
66. Construction
• It consist of battery, ignition switch, Transistor,
Emitter, ballast resistor, contact breaker,
ignition coil, distributor and spark plug.
• The emitter of the transistor is connected to
the ignition coil through a ballast resistor.
67.
68. When the contact breaker point are
closed
• A small current flows in the base circuit of the
transistor.
• A large current flows in the emitter or
collector circuit of the transistor and the
primary winding of the ignition coil due to the
normal transistor transistor action.
• A magnetic field is set up in the primary
winding of the coil.
69. When the construction breaker points
are open
• The current flow in the base circuit is stopped.
• The primary current and the magnetic field in
the coil collapse suddenly due to immediate
reverting of the transistor to the non-
conductive state.
• It produces a high voltage in the secondary
circuit.
70. When the construction breaker points
are open
• This high voltage is directed to the respective
spark plugs through the rotor of the
distributor.
• This high voltage produces a spark when it is
tried to jump the spark plug gap. It ignites air-
fuel mixture in the cylinder.

• A CDI module has a capacitor storage of its
own and it sends a short high voltage (about
250+ volts) pulse through the coil. The coil
now acts similar to a transformer and it
multiplies this voltages even higher.
74.
75.
76. Capacitive Discharge ignition system

output and hotter spark.
• The spark duration is much smaller amount
10-20 microseconds and accurate.
• It is better at high RPM but it can be a
problem for both starting period ad lean
mixture or high compression situation.
77. Distributed Ignition system

to route high voltage spark plugs called
distributorless ignition system.
• The high voltage plug wire runs directly from
the ignition coil to the spark plug.
• The spark timing is controlled by an ignition
control unit ICU and Engine Control Unit.
78. Distributorless Ignition System

• No distributor cap and rotor are required.
• There are no moving parts to wear out.
• Less maintenance is required.
82. SUPERCHARGING
• Supercharging is the process of supplying the
air fuel mixture to the engine just above the
atmosphere pressure. A supercharger
increases the pressure of the air fuel mixture
from the carburettor before it enters the
engine.
84. Types of super chargering
• Positive Displacement type-
Positive displacement blowers and compressor
deliver at constant level of pressure increase at
all engine speed in RPM.
• Dynamic compressor type-
Dynamic compressor do not deliver pressure at
low speed and above threshold speed, the
pressure increases with the engine speed.
85. Types of super charging
a)Centrifugal type supercharging-
centrifugal supercharging compresses the
air inside the case of the supercharger using at
impeller. Then, it discharge the air out of the
scroll to the motor.
This design is similar to turbocharging except for
centrifugal supercharger which do not use the
exhaust to build pressure.
88. Turbo charger
• A centrifugal or axial flow or displacement
type pump supercharger are driven by the
crankshaft in IC Engine.
• Some super chargers are driven by a gas
turbines which are driven by using the exhaust
gases.
89. Purpose of turbocharger
• To reduce the weight per horse power of the
engine as required in aero engines.
• To reduce the space occupied by the engine as
required in marine engines.
• To have better turbulence and it ensures more
complete combustion giving greater power
and low specific fuel consumption.
92. Methods of turbocharger
• Turbocharging is carried out in six method
such as-
• Constant pressure turbocharging.
• Pulse turbocharging.
• Pulse converter turbocharging.
• Two-stage turbocharging.
• Miller turbocharging.
• Hyperbar turbocharging.
93. Advantages of turbocharger
• It provides high power to weight ratio.
• High brake mean effective pressure can be
obtained.
• Thermal loading is moderate.
• Surge pre-operation is possible by using a by-
pass control.
• Good torque and acceleration can be
achieved.
94. disadvantages
• Fuel consumption increase throughout the
operation due to low compression ratio.
• System is more complex.
Limitation of turbochargers-
• Special Exhaust manifolds are required for the
turbocharging system.
• In order to inject more fuel per unit time, fuel
injection needs modification.
95. Engine emission and its control
• During the combustion , the oxygen combines
with carbon in various combination. During
combustion oxygen combines with hydrogen
and carbon to form water, carbon mono
oxides, and carbon dioxides.
• The oxides of nitrogen together with hydrogen
reacts in the presence of sunlight and they
form petrochemical smog.
96. Diesel Engine Emission
• Diesel Smoke is another pollutant in case of
diesel engine.
• The types of smoke are-
• White smoke.
1. it is mainly caused because of low operating
temperature.
2. Long delay between start of injection and
beginning of combustion
• Black smoke.
97. Diesel Engine Emission
• Blue smoke-
1. It is occur due to combustion of lubricating
oil.
2. It is the emission that indicates that the
Piston Rings have worn out.
98. S I Engine Emission
• There are three main sources of air pollution
due to petrol engine-
1. Evaporative Emission.
2. Crankcase blow-by, and
3. Exhaust Emission.
100. Exhaust gas recirculation
• The valve controls the passage of the exhaust
gas. The chamber is connected by a tube to
vacuum port in the throttle body.
• Therefore no exhaust gas recirculation. It
happens during idle when NO2 formation is at
minimum.
101. Engine Emission Control by Catalytic
Converter
• The term catalytic convertor convers a
stainless steel box mounted in the exhaust
system.
• The catalytic is inside the cover which is
ceramic or metallic base with an active coating
incorporating alumina, ceria and other oxides
and combinations of precious metallic such as
platinum, palladium and rhodium.
104. (i) Reduction catalyst:
The reduction catalyst is the first stage of the
catalytic converter. It uses platinum and rhodium to help in
reducing NOx emissions. When an NO or NO2 molecule
contacts the catalyst, the catalyst rips the nitrogen atom out
of the molecule and holds on to it, freeing the oxygen in the
form of O2. The nitrogen atoms bond with other nitrogen
atoms which are also stuck to the catalyst, forming N2.
2NO => N2+ O2
105. (ii) .Oxidation catalyst:
The oxidation catalyst is the second stage of the
catalytic converter. It reduces the unburned hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide by burning (oxidizing) them over a
platinum and palladium catalyst. This catalyst aids the
reaction of the CO and hydrocarbons with the remaining
oxygen in the exhaust gas.
2CO + O2 => 2CO2
106. Major Drawbacks in Catalytic
convertor
• Owing to the exothermic reaction in the
catalyst bed the exhaust system are hotter
than normal.
• Cars equipped with such convertor should not
use leaded fuel as lead destroys complete
catalytic activity.
• If the fuel contains Sulphur (as Diesel oil)
emission of SO3 is increased.
107. Failures in catalytic convertor
• Converter of catalytic melt down.
• Catalyst Fracture.
• Carbon deposit.
• Poisoning.
108. EMISSION NORMS (EURO AND BS)
• Emission norms for automobiles are the standards set by the
authority of different countries focusing on controlling the
amount of pollutants released into the environment from
automobiles.
• Each stage of emission standards specifically describes the
amount of pollutants from vehicles such as carbon monoxide
(CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide
(CO2), hydrocarbons (HC) and particulates which can be
emitted from an automobile into the environment. These
regulatory standards differ from bottom to nation. But the
aim is common to control the environmental pollution.
109. Parameters determining emission from vehicles:
• Vehicular technology
• Fuel quality
• Inspection & maintenance of in-use vehicles
• Road and traffic management.
110.
111. Bharat stage Norms
• BS emission standards are emission standards
instituted by the Government of India to
regulate the output of air pollutants from IC
Engines.
• The first Indian Emission regulation Limits
which was started in 1989, Supreme court of
India order to follow the Euro-I or India 2000.
