5 GAS DIAGNOSTICSWhat Goes InMust Be Consumed,If Not It Comes Out! Steve Zack
Agenda • The Theory of 5 Gas • Diagnostics with a 5 Gas Analyzer
The Theory of 5 Gas • Air Contains 77% to 78% Nitrogen, N2 • N2, 2 Elements ofN • N2 Absorbs Heat • In the Atmosphere • In the Combustion Chamber • N2 Separates Under Pressure and Temperature
Nitrogen -N2 N N
The Theory of 5 Gas • Remaining Air Contains 21% Oxygen, O2 • O2,2 Elements of O • O2 is an Oxidizer • Remaining Portions of Air • Argon, Ar • Helium, He • Hydrocarbons, HC • Etc.
Oxygen - O2 O O
The Theory of 5 Gas • Intake Valve Opens Exposing Low Pressure • Injector Sprays Atomized HC • HC, Gasoline • 1 Element ofH - Hydrogen • 1 Element of C - Carbon • 14.7 Psi Pushes Air and Fuel in
Gasoline - HC H C Atomized Liquid The Hexane Value Gas Analyzers Measure GASOLINE FORMULA: 27% AROMATIC (BENZENE C6H6), 12% OLEFINS (CnH2n), 1% BENZENE (C6H6), 305PPM SULFUR (S), 11% MTBE (METHYL TERTIARYBUTYL ETHER), 2% OXYGEN (O)
O O N N H O O C O O O O H C
The Theory of 5 Gas • Piston Rises in Compression Stroke, Pressure Builds • The Compounds Will Rub Together • This Causes Friction of the Elements • Friction Causes Heat
The Theory of 5 Gas • Heat Absorbed by the Elements • O2 AbsorbsHeat Separates to Oand O • HC Absorbs Heat Separates to H and C • O2and HC Now Vapor
O O C H Pressure and Heat Now Vapor
The Theory of 5 Gas • Piston Continues to Rise • Friction Causes 2300 F • Pressure has Increased • N2 Will Absorb Heat at 2300 F • N2 Will Separate to N and N, Now Vapor
N N Extreme Heat and Pressure Now Vapor
N O O N O H C O O O C H O O
The Theory of 5 Gas • The Spark Plug Ignites, Pressure Increase • Voltage is Pressure • The O Elements Will Oxidize with N, C, and H • 2OElements to 1C Element= CO2 • 1O Element to 2H Elements= H2O • XO Elements to1NElement =NOx • Oxidation,O Elements Attaching to Other Elements
The Theory of 5 Gas Sparks • Oxidation Createsas the Elements Collide • All the Combined Appear as • Oxidation Creates Energy Through Heat • The Heat Energy Forces the Piston Down Sparks Fire
H H O N N O H O H O O C O C O O
N O H O O H O C C O O O O N
The Theory of 5 Gas • As Combustion Occurs a Good Running Engine Produces • H2O - 2 H - Hydrogen Elements and 1 O - Oxygen Element • CO2- 1 C - Carbon Element and2 O - Oxygen Elements
A Product of Combustion O H H Water -H20
A Product of Combustion O C O CarbonDioxide- CO2 Displaces N2 in Atmosphere
The Theory of 5 Gas • As Result of Driving Conditions Most Engines Will Produce • H2O • HC -1 H - Hydrogen Element and 1 C - Carbon Element • CO - 1 C - Carbon Elementand1 O - Oxygen Element • O2 - 2 O - Oxygen Elements • CO2 • NOx - 1 N - Nitrogen Element and Unknown O - Oxygen Elements
The Theory of 5 Gas • The Catalytic Converter Will Oxidize and Reduce • HC to H2O and CO2 • CO to H20 and CO2 • NOx toCO2 and H2OandN2
