Overview of Vehicle

The document provides an overview of the main vehicle systems, including the engine, cooling system, lubrication system, drive-train, electrical system, fuel system, exhaust/emission system, braking system, ignition system, steering system, and suspension system. It describes the basic components and functions of each system, such as how the engine converts fuel energy into mechanical energy using pistons, camshafts, and crankshafts, and how the cooling system maintains an optimum engine temperature using a radiator, hoses, water pump, and coolant. It also explains that the lubrication system reduces friction between moving parts to lower engine temperature and wear, and that the drive-train transmits power from the engine to the

Overview of Vehicle

Engine
Converts Energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy.

•Internal Combustion Engine


•Piston
•Camshaft

•Crankshaft
•Timing Belt, chain, gears

•Short-Block

•Valves
Cooling System
Takes the engine to an optimum running temperature as soon as
possible and maintains it there.

•Radiator

•Hoses

•Water pump

•Water Jackets

•Coolant
•Thermosta
t
•215°F - 235°F
Lubrication System
Designed to reduce friction between moving parts.
By reducing friction, engine temperature drops, hence lowering wear
on the moving parts.

•Oil

•Grease

•Oil Pump

•Oil Pan

•Oil Galleries
Drive-Train
•Transmits power from the engine to the drive wheels.
•It varies the torque applied to the drive wheels, depending on load.
•Transmission
•Drive shaft
•Axles
•differential
Drive-Train
Electrical System
Produces, stores, and distributes electricity for the numerous electrical
devices which contributes to the operation of the total vehicle.

•Stores Power - Battery

•Produce Power - Alternator

•Starter

•Wiring Harness
Fuel System
•Designed to store and deliver (mystify) the fuel.
•Correct Air to Fuel ratio is 14.7 : 1 (Stoichiometric Ratio)
•Four common fuels:
•Patrol
•Diesel
•Propane (LPG)
•Natural Gas (Compressed Natural Gas)
•Fuel Pump

•Injectors
•Carburetor
•Fuel Tank / Lines
•Fuel Filter
Exhaust/Emission System
Removes the Exhaust gases from the engine, Muffles the sound,
Cleans and cools the burned gases before they enter the atmosphere.

•Headers / Exhaust manifold

•Catalytic Converter

•Exhaust Pipes

•Muffler

•Resonator
Braking System
•Allows the driver to slow or stop the wheel from rotating, which
in turn will reduce the vehicle speed or stop and hold the vehicle
from moving.

•Converts kinetic Energy into Heat.

•Master Cylinder

•Brake Fluid

•Lines / Hoses
•Caliper, Pads, Rotors - FRONT

•Wheel cylinder, Shoes, Drums - Rear


Ignition System
•Provides spark for the Patrol, CNG and LPG Engines.
•Converts 12 volts to 60,000 volts

•Sparkplugs

•Distributor

•Sparkplug wires

•Ignition Switch

•Ignition Coil
Steering System

Controls the direction of the vehicle.

•Steering

•Rack-and-pinion

•Gear Box

•Power steering Pump

•Steering Linkage
Suspension System
Keeps the wheels in firm contact with the road for maximum traction.

•Shocks

•Struts

•Springs

•Control arms

•Ball Joints
