CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING OF CAV FUEL INJECTION PUMP

The function of the fuel injection pump is to measure and deliver the correct quantity of fuel at high pressure to the injector. CAV fuel injection pump is most commonly used in  diesel engines. 


Construction :

It is a plunger type pump. It has a reciprocating plunger which reciprocated inside the barrel. The plunger has a helical groove. This groove extends as vertical groove to the top. The plunger is operated by a cam mechanism.

Working : 

The plunger is moved up by a cam and return back to is initial position by tension spring. The plunger can also be rotated by the rack and pinion arrangement. Fuel Delivery valve is seated in its seat by the force of the spring. Two ports are provided in the barrel. One is known as supply port and other is known as spill port. This port is opened and closed by the moving plunger. The fuel passage is connected to fuel injector. 

When the supply port is opened., The fuel is filled in the barrel. When the cam rotates, it will lift the plunger up. The moving plunger first closes the supply and spill ports. Then the fuel above the plunger is compressed and high pressure is developed. Due to this high pressure, the delivery valve is lifted off and the fuel flows through the fuel passage to the atomizer.

The quantity of fuel delivered is controlled by the rack and pinion arrangement. When the rack moves, the pinion is rotated. The plunger is rotated inside the barrel. It alters the effective stroke of the plunger. Thus, amount of fuel supplied is varied.

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.

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of  detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of  a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of  the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of  electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a  roll. The objec...

THROTTLE GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES

Steam Pressure at inlet to a steam turbine is reduced by throttling process to maintain the speed of the  turbine constant at part load and hence this method of governing is called "Throttle Governing".  Construction : Throttle governing system consists of  a centrifugal governor, a lever , an oil pump , a pilot piston , control valve , a relay piston and a throttle valve. The throttle valve is moved by a relay piston. The relay piston is actuated by pilot piston control valve. There are two piston valves covering ports in the pilot piston control valve without any overlap. These piston valves are operated by lubricating oil supplied by a gear pump at 2 to 4 bar. The oil returns to the drain from this chamber.  Working : When the turbine works on full rated load, the throttle valve will remain open. When the load is decreased, the energy output of the turbine becomes in excess and the turbine shaft speed increases. Hence, governor sleeve will lift. The upward movemen...
