Five Supporting Systems for Engine Operation

Image
 The most five supporting systems for Engine operation.  The automotive engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine, internal means combustion take place inside the combustion chamber. It is simply words to say that that burning air and fuel in the combustion chamber. So that power is produced by burning a mixture of air and fuel inside top of the engine cylinder any type of configuration of the engine whether it single-cylinder engine or multi-cylinder engine. Each cylinder has an engine piston fitted on the cylinder which reciprocates (up and down) in the cylinder. An engine that produces power to move the vehicle with associated other major components. Today all the vehicles are controlled and operated by the electronic control unit/module, (ECU/ECM). Sometimes it is also called a computer. When the engine to keep continue running and smooth operation of the engine required must five supporting systems. These are Engine electronic controls system, engine fuel system, engin...

Which one is better 3 cylinder or 4 cylinder engines?

 Which one is better 3 cylinder or 4 cylinder engines?   When we talk about the small car segment vehicle especially average family peoples in India their priority and demand are for mid-size hatchback cars or smaller cars, low fuel consumption and low-cost rates vehicles. On these categories, there are two choices are three-cylinder engine and a four-cylinder engine. Today all car manufacturers focused on a three-cylinder engine petrol engine to fulfil the demand of car buyers or customers. A four-cylinder engine already existing various car like sedan, SUV, Sport Utility Vehicle) mid-size SUV, crossover SUV and MUV (Multi Utility Vehicle). Now trending for a three-cylinder engine. It was decades before in the Indian car market we had noticed Maruti Suzuki and newly arrived Hyundai motor Maruti 800 car, Alto, Omni van later on Estilo model and Hyundai Eon model have three-cylinder engines are successful run on Indian Road especially rural as well as urban areas. After fe...

Car Electronic Control System

 Engine Control System  Nowadays, all modern vehicles are 80 to 90% fully equipped with electronically operated devices or components of the cars. It directly controls and monitors by electronic control module/unit ECM/ECU all major components with the help of various inputs devices sensors and switches which data and information provided to the ECM/ECU or Control unit then ECM decision make to the required amount of the form of signal, voltages or command to the several output devices or actuators for the accurate proper operation and functioning to the particular system. We know all, modern motor vehicles are become sophisticated and better performance plus provide less fuel consumption and emit quite less environmental friendly emissions. These all because of new advanced technology introduced in the last couple of decades, the many parts and components devices are switching from mechanically operated to electronic operates. So that results in the most accurate function and...

Dashboard warning / indicates lights

Dashboard warning /  indicates lights  These days, All modern vehicles have various features which electronics operate sensors switches and actuators is direct helps the driver of the vehicle that drivers gest information, warning, messages and a reminder on the front of the instrumental panel at the dashboard/cluster meters on the driver compartment. Laterally there are two main categories of the warning indicator light on the dashboard/cluster meter. One is directly vehicle engine functional concern matters so, you must take immediate attention. Another is the rest of the other major components their operation and function issues. This is also taken seriously should urgently checkup and service as soon as possible. Make sure you take care of your car and proper maintenance before a long drive. There are several colour codes icon/image on the dashboard warning lights mainly red, yellow, blue and green light display on the dashboard or sometimes blinking continuously on the da...

Electronic Ignition System:

 The ignition system of a petrol engine. There are major changes on older generation ignition systems to modern generation ignition systems, mechanical devices converted  Into the fully electronic system. The automobile industry has achieved drastic mechanical and technological advancement throughout history. The ignition system plays a vital role in creating combustion to run your vehicle. In modern cars, all ignition system is electronically operated by an Electronic Control Unit/Module (ECU/ECM). What is the Purpose of the ignition system?  In a petrol/gasoline engine the purpose of the ignition system is to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture in the engine combustion chamber. The system provides the sparks into the spark plug through ignition coils and ignites the compressed mixture in the combustion chamber and also ensure the voltage is delivered to the correct cylinder at exactly the proper time. After the air-fuel mixture enters the engine cylinder the pi...

HYBRID VEHICLES VS ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Image
  HYBRID VEHICLES VS ELECTRIC VEHICLES  When we discuss mobility often used on internal combustion engines (ICE) for a long time but, in modern vehicles, one form of the term that is trending nowadays is called electric and hybrid vehicles. This segment from the last decade lots improved on different automakers. The American car company Tesla Motor is one of the emerging Electric Vehicles in the world and another automaker also establishes and switches on the electric power energy on EV sector.  Generally, two basic types of electric motor vehicles are used in the modern car segment market in India. One is a Hybrid car and another is a fully electric-powered car Electric vehicle (EV). A hybrid car segment A hybrid car segment using more than powered energy either petrol or diesel and battery or electric-powered engines and sometimes both work together to powered engines.  Mostly hybrid vehicles that are powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) or said that conv...

CNG vs LNG vs H-CNG & S-CNG Fuels

Image
  Compressed Natural Gas CNG Compressed natural gas CNG is one of the alternatives fuels to run vehicles. It considers the safest fuel as it does not have any negative impact on the environment. It was discovered in the early 1800s, it is mainly used as a fuel for vehicles. It is also used fa or source of energy for heating,  electricity generation and industrial purpose. It is typically compressed to the pressure ranging from 200 to 250 kg/cm² in the gaseous state. CNG has stored onboard vehicles in a compressed gaseous state at a pressure of up to 3600 pounds per square inch (psi). Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) comprising of components methane (CH4) is 96.1 %, Ethane (C2H6) 2.50%, Propane (C3H8) 0.40%, Butane (C4H10) 0.14%, Pentane (C5H12) 0.01%, Nitrogen (N2) 0.59% and carbon dioxide (CO2) 0.15%. CNG ( Compressed Natural Gas ) has a calorific value of 35 to 40 mi/m³.It is a form of natural gas and its production cost is less as compared to other gas or fuel. Due to the major...
