Chapter 5 Two & Four Cycle Engines page 77 Questions on pg 90
Small Engine Identification • # of strokes for a cycle • 2 • 4 • rotary
Four Stroke Cycle Engine • Intake • Compression • Power • Exhaust
Intake • Intake open • Exhaust closed • Piston moves downward • Vacuum
Compression • Both valves closed • Piston moves up • Compression 9:1
Power • Both valves closed • Spark • Ignites air/fuel mixture • 14.7:1 • Piston forced down
Exhaust • Exhaust valve opens • Intake valve closed • Piston moves up • Pushes exhaust out
Valve Timing • Valves must open and close at correct time • Align marks • Backfire • Lack power
Lubrication • Splash • Pressure • Hybrid
Two Stroke Cycle Engine • See: • http://science.howstuffworks.com/two-stroke2.htm
Variation in Design • Cross-scavenged • Contoured piston head • Deflect air upward • Reed valves/rotary valves • Loop-scavenged • Flat or domed piston • Intake offset for exhaust
Principles of Operation • Location of parts essential
Intake into Crankcase • Piston moves up • Causes vacuum • Reed/rotary valve opens
Fuel Transfer • Piston moves down • Pressurizes crankcase • Transfer port • Intake port uncovered • Air/fuel rush in
Ignition Power • Air/fuel compressed • 8:1 compression • TDC-spark • BTDC-advance (warm)
Exhaust • Exhaust port exposed • Intake pressure in • forces exhaust out
Scavenging & Tuning • Proper design • Full scavenging
Rotary Disc Valve Engine • Intake in crankcase • No reed valve • better fuel transfer
Reed Valve Engine • Intake directly into crankcase • Flexible spring steel • Reed stop • Limits valve opening • Reed opened by atmospheric pressure • Closed seals crankcase
4 Cycle VS 2 Cycle • 4 cycle • More power • More fuel efficient • No-premix • 2 cycle • Simple design • Smaller lighter • Runs at any angle • High speeds
