16. Major Components
• The major components of an automobile are.
– An engine (power plant)
– A power train (transmission system)
– A suspension system
– A steeing system
– A braking system
– An electrical system
– A body
17. An engine
• Power plant provides the motive power for all the various
functions which the vehicle or any part of it may be called
upon to perform.
• The power plant generally consists of an I.C engine-spark
ignition-compression ignition.
• Gas turbines has also been used successfully.
• Electric motors powered by batteries have also been used.
• Combination of an I.C engine and electric motors have also
been successfully employed in hybrid vehicles.
• Solar energy powered systems have also been tried.
• Most promising future power plant is the one based on fuel
cells.
20. An I.C Engine
• The following sub systems supports the I.C
engine for continuous running.
• Fuel system
• Ignition system
• Lubricating and Cooling system
• Exhaust system
• Electrical and electronic system
21. Fuel System
• Supplies fuel to the engine
• Consists of
– Storage tank,
– Piping work,and,
– An arrangement for mixing with air and spraying into the
engine cylinder.
• In conventional petrol engines a carburetor is used for mixing the
fuel with air.
• Present, electronic fuel injection (EFI) is used to spray fuel air
mixture.
• An electronic control module (ECM) control the functions of EFI.
22. Ignition System
• Function is to supply high voltage surge at the
desired instant and of adequate strength to
produce a spark in the engine.
• Earlier electro mechanical system were used.
• Now days in modern engines electronic
systems are used.
23. Lubrication System
• The lubrication system keeps all moving parts
inside the engine coated with layers of oil.
• This reduces wears on the parts.
• It also allows the parts move freely with little
power lost in making them move.
• Relatively less viscous lubricating oils are used
in engines.
• Where as heavier oils and greases are used in
the transmission and wheel bearings.
24. Cooling System
• The cooling system removes just enough heat so the
engine runs smoothly at the proper temperature.
• It maybe of water cooling or oil cooling.
• A water pump circulates coolant between the engine
and the radiator.
• Cooler outside air flows through the radiator and picks
up and carries away the excess heat.
• A thermostat helps the coolant at the proper
temperature
• A fan helps keep air moving through the radiator.
25. Exhaust System
• Exhaust system used to vent exhaust gases
with least back pressure.
• It also reduce the engine noise with the help
of muffler.
• Now a days converters are also fitted in the
exhaust pipe to reduce the harmful
constituents in the exhaust gases.
26. Electrical System
