2. • CARBURETORS:
• Carburetor is a device used for atomoizing and vapourizing
the fuel and mixing it with the air in varying proportions to
suit for changing the operating conditions of engines.
• Functions of carburetor:
It prepares a mixture of petrol and air in correct
proportions.
It maintains a small reserve of petrol in the float chamber
at constant head
It atomizes and vaporizes the fuel.
It supplies a fine spray of petrol
It produces a homogeneous mixture
It measures and supplies the proper quantity and
proportions of air and fuel under all conditions of engine
operation such as temperature, speed and load
10. Limitation of carburetor
• In multi cylinder engines, it becomes very difficult for
simple carburetor to supply uniform quality and
quantity
• The induction passages are of unequal lengths
• Venturi throat of the carburetor causes a restriction in
the passage of air flow to the engine.
• Air-fuel mixture supply becomes acute at low speed
and air velocity decreases which causes less efficient
atomization
• There is a loss of volumetric efficiency
• Carburetor has many wearing parts. After wear, it
operates less efficiently
16. • Air sensor: How much of air being draw into the intake
manifold for adjusting the quantity of fuel
• Intake air temp sensor:measure the temp of the intake air
for fine tuning the mixture strength
• Exhaust gas oxygen: located in the exhaust system
provides ECU the amount of oxygen in exhaust gases. ECU
determine if the air/fuel ratio is correct.
• Manifold absolute pressure: It senses the vacuum pressure
in the engines inlet manifold & gives an indication of the
load to the engine.
• Speed/crankshaft:It provided the information to ECU
about engine rotating speed and the position of the
crankshaft.
• Engine temp: sense the temp of the coolant in the engine.
• Knock sensor: is a microphone type sensor that detects
the sounds of knocking so that ignition timing can be
retarded.

• Weight and space requirement are more than conventional
carburettor.

• To maintain the power of a reciprocating IC
engine even at high altitudes where less oxygen is
a available for combustion.
37. • Engine pollutants:
• Carbon monoxide(CO): air fuel mixture due to lack of
sufficient oxygen for the combustion of the fuel.
• CO has more affinity than oxygen for hemoglobin in our
blood. Affect the nervous system , finally affects heart.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2): During complete combustion the
hydrocarbons in the fuel are converted into carbon dioxide is
13.7% of exhaust gas.
• Nitrogen oxides(NOx):All combustion processes where air
containing nitrogen is burned. In high temp, nitrogen reacts
with oxygen produces nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen
dioxide(NO2). Affect living organisms & blood purification
system.
• Hydrocarbons(HC): emissions are also the result of
inadequate amount of oxygen being present to support the
complete combustion of the air fuel mixture. This is
produces smog, affects vision of human being.
38. • Smoke: produced because of insufficient mixing
of fuel and air. It contains Co andCO2. When
cold starting, blue white smoke is produced
when more carbon particles are mixed with
exhaust. Irritation of eyes, coughing, headache

• Sulphur oxide: is produced if the fuel has
sulphur. It may damage the plants. It causes
irritation to eye and throat and it gives
respiratory troubles to children.

42. • Evaporative emission control for SI engine.
• Petrol vapour from fuel tank escapes into atmosphere by
evaporation
• When the engine is not running, petrol will evaporate in the
carburettor float chamber.
• Is consists of a device to store fuel vapour produced in the fuel
system due to evaporation
• Vapour liquid separater provided at the top of a fuel tank.
Vapour goes to the top of the separater where the liquid petrol
is separated and it is returned to the tank.
• A vent valve is provided for venteing the fuel vapour to the
canister.
• A canister containing activated charcoal is used to store the
fuel vapour. The canister adsorbs the vapour and store it.
• When engine running, the vacuum created in the intake
manifold is used to draw fuel vapour from the canister into the
engine.
• Purging air is sucked through the canister which leads the fuel
vapour from canister to the engine.
43. • Purging is the process by which the petrol vapour
is removed from the charcoal particles inside the
canister.
• Electronically controlled purge valve is used.
• During engine acceleration additional mixture
enrichment can be tolerated and under these
operating conditions the stored fuel vapour are
usually purged into the intake manifold.
• This system is a fully closed system.
• Flow of vapour from the fuel tank may be
controlled by a mechanically operated vent valve
or an electrically operated solenoid valve.
45. • Excessive nitrogen oxides(NO2) form when the peak combustion temp
exceeds 1950 C. to Lower the combustion temp, may engines have
EGR system
• Cooler exhaust gas absorbs heat from combustion process.
• It reduces the peak combustion temp and lowers the formation of
NO2.
• EGR system provides a passage between exhaust manifold and
inlet manifold.
• EGR control valve is used to regulate flow of EGR depending upon
engine operating conditions.
• The intake manifold pressure and exhaust manifold back pressure
may be used to control the EGR rate with vary with engine load.
• It consists of a spring loaded vacuum diaphragm linked to a tapered
valve.
• A vacuum chamber is provided at the top of the valve.
• This valve controls the passage of exhaust gas
• The chamber is connected by tube to a vacuum port in the throttle
body.
46. • When there is no vacuum at this port, the spring pushed
the diaphragm down and keeps the passage closed.
• No exhaust gas recirculated. It happens during idle when
NO2 formation is at a minimum.
• When the throttle is opened from the idle position,
vacuum applied will gradually open throttle valve.
• It causes the exhaust gas to flow into the intake
manifold. Open throttle, the intake manifold vacuum is
low and EGR valve is closed by the spring.
• EGR valve system do not affect full power operation.
• The exhaust gas is recirculated only in this system when
the engine operating conditions are supposed to form
NO2.
