Turbulence in the Engine Cylinder

TURBULENCE IN THE ENGINE CYLINDER 

  • It is swirling movement of air  causes air to rotate in  the combustion chamber at the end of compression which is achieved by movement of piston.

  • For the better swirling movement scavenging port is tilted radially and in case of air inlet valve at the cylinder head is fitted with  shields or deflectors .
  •  Care must be taken while assembling air inlet valve to ensure that deflector is located at its position.
  • With the help of nozzle in the injector helps in turbulence of air fuel mixture.

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Cross and loop scavenging Disadvantage

Cross scavenging Disadvantage 1. It requires longer  piston skirt to prevent exhaust gas and air leaks from the ports when piston is at TDC . Loop scavenging Disadvantage 1. Both exhaust port and scavenge port are at the adjacent side of the liner which causes temperature differential problem for the liner material . Hence , we are using mostly the uniflow scavenging which is having very lesser mixing and better scavenging efficiency. Source : DA Taylor
