Valve Timing Diagram
AIM:- To study and draw the valve timings diagram Four-Stroke, Single-Cylinder
Diesel Engine.
APPARATUS USED :- Four-Stroke, Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine Test Rig,
Sprit Level,Marking Pencil, and Device for measuring crank angle.
THEORY :-
In four- stroke S. I. Engine the opening and closing of the valves, and the
ignition of the air fuel mixture do not take place exactly at the dead centre
positions. The valve open slightly earlier and close after their respective dead centre
positions. The ignition also occurs prior, to the mixture is fully compressed, and the
piston reaches the top dead centre position. Similarly in a C. I. Engine both the
valves do not open and close exactly at dead centre positions, rather operate at
some degree on either side in terms of the crank angles from the dead centre
positions. The injection of the fuel is also timed to occur earlier.
INLET VALVE:- During the suction stroke the inlet valve must be open to admit
charge into the cylinder, the inlet valve opens slightly before the piston starts
downward on the suction stroke. The reason that the inlet valve is open before the
start of suction stroke is that the valve is necessary to permit this valve to be open
and close slowly to provide quite operations under high speed condition.
begin to rush out of their own accord. This removes the greater part of the burnt
gases reducing the amount of work to be done by the piston on its return stroke.
PROCEDURE:-
1) Fix a plate on the body of the Engine touching the flywheel.
2) Mark the positions of the both the dead centers on the flywheel with the
reference to the fixed plate. TDC and BDC in case of vertical Engines, IDC
and ODC in case of horizontal Engines.
3) Mark on the flywheel when the inlet and exhaust valves open and close as the
flywheel is rotated slowly.
4) Measure the valves (Tappet) Clearance.
5) Mark the spark ignition timing in case of petrol Engine and fuel injection
timing in case of Diesel Engine.
6) Measure the angles of the various events and plot the valve timing diagram.
