INTERNAL <strong>COMBUSTION</strong> ENGINES (ELECTIVE) (ME667)SIXTH SEMESTER Swirl can be generated by masking one side <strong>of</strong> theinlet valve so that air is admitted only around a part <strong>of</strong>the periphery <strong>of</strong> the valve and in the desired direction. Swirl can also be generated by casting a lip over oneside <strong>of</strong> the inlet valve.Swirl generated by induction isvery weak. Thus singleorifice injection cannot provide the desired air fuel mixing.Therefore, with Induction swirl, it is advisable to use amultiple-orifice injector.Advantages <strong>of</strong> Induction swirl.o Easier starting (due to low intensity <strong>of</strong> swirl).o High excess air (low temperature), lowturbulence (less heat loss), therefore indicatedthermal efficiency is high.o Production <strong>of</strong> swirl requires no additional work.o Used with low speeds, therefore low quality q<strong>of</strong>fuel can be used.Disadvantages <strong>of</strong> induction swirl:o Shrouded valves, smaller valves, low volumetric efficiency.oWeak swirl, low air r utilisation (60%), lower M.E.P. . and large size (costly) engine.o Weak swirl, multi-orifice nozzle, high induction pressure; e; clogging <strong>of</strong> holes, highmaintenance.o Swirl not proportional to speed; efficiency not maintained at variable speedengine.o Influence minimum quantity <strong>of</strong> fuel. Complication at high loads and idling.Jagadeesha T, Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, Department <strong>of</strong> Mechanical Engineering, Adichunchanagiri <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>, Chikmagalur
