Working of Valves in Four stroke S.I Engine and Valve Timing Diagram

The exact moment at which each of the valves open and close with reference to the position of the piston and crank can be shown graphically in a diagram. This diagram is known as " Valve timing Diagram".

Theoretical Valve Timing Diagram :

In Theoretical valve timing diagram, inlet and exhaust valves open and close at both the dead centers. Similarly, all the processes are sharply completed at the TDC or BDC. shows a theoretical valve timing diagram for the four stroke S.I Engine.

Actual Valve Timing Diagram :

Actual valve timing Diagram for four stroke S.I Engine. The inlet valve open 10* - 30* before the TDC. The air - fuel mixture is sucked into the cylinder till the inlet valves closes. The inlet valve closes 30 - 40* or even 60* after the BDC. The charge is compressed till the spark occurs. The Spark is produced 20* - 40* before the TDC. It gives sufficient time for the fuel to burn. The pressure and Temperature increase. The burnt gases are expanded till the exhaust valve opens

The Exhaust Valve opens 30* - 60* before the BDC. The exhaust gases are forced out from the cylinder till the exhaust valve closes. The exhaust valve closes 8 - 20* after the TDC. Before closing, again the inlet valve opens 10 - 30 * before the TDC. The period between the IVO and EVC is known as valve overlap period. The angle between the inlet valve opening and exhaust valve closing is known as angle of valve overlap.

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 object to be checked is place

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 movement of the
