Abstract:
An internal combustion engine generally utilizes a conventional four stroke process including an intake stroke, compression stroke, expansion stroke, and exhaust stroke and in addition to this four stroke process, adds a secondary process having two additional strokes for scavenging the combustion chamber with fresh air. This two stroke scavenging process employs a fresh air intake stroke and a fresh air exhaust stroke to exhaust any remaining burnt and unburnt gases from the combustion chamber.
Abstract:
A cold enrichment device for an internal combustion engine having a pair of parallel flow paths communicating with the engine for delivering cold enrichment fuel. One of the flow paths includes a valve that is responsive to starting of the engine for delivering fuel for a predetermined time period whereas the other flow path includes a temperature responsive valve for providing cold running enrichment fuel.
Abstract:
An improved carburetor having a mixing passage adapted for connection to an internal combustion engine, a pair of venturi plates pivotally mounted in the passage positioned in response to vacuum generated by the engine, a fuel spray bar extended across the passage, a primary fuel system for supplying a primary fuel to the bar automatically controlled in response to the positions of the plates, and an enrichment fuel system for supplying an enrichment fuel to the bar automatically controlled in response to the positions of the plates independently of the primary fuel system.
Abstract:
A Thermal and Vacuum Tracking Carburetor With Jet Electronic Control System which allows the continuous monitoring of the temperature of the exhaust gas and the manifold vacuum of an internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
A spark ignition internal combustion engine having an exhaust emission control system including an air pump driven by the engine to pump fresh air directly into the exhaust duct in order to promote a further combustion of partly burnt components in the gases coming from the combustion chambers, excess air pressure being released by a pressure relief valve into an air filter for the induction air; the system also comprises an exhaust gas recirculating system comprising a pneumatic valve which opens, when the conditions are appropriate, to draw off a proportion of the exhaust gases from the exhaust side of the engine and admit them to the induction side of the engine; in addition there is a system for admitting supplementary air to the induction manifold downstream of the carburettor during engine overrun conditions except when the engine is cold, and the carburettor is provided with supplementary pumps and valves which only function when the engine is cold, being inhibited as the engine approaches its normal working temperature.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine having a starter carburetor in addition to a main carburetor. The starter carburetor includes a starting mixture passage provided with a starter valve which is normally open and adapted to be closed under an influence of the engine intake pressure when the engine temperature has reached a certain value. The engine includes a temperature responsive valve to mantain the influence of the engine intake pressure to hold the starter valve in the closed position after engine stop as far as the engine temperature is above a second certain value.
Abstract:
A manifold depression responsive fuel pump has its fuel outlet connected to an automatic cold start air/fuel mixture supply device, and a movable stop, which limits movement of the pump diaphragm to enlarge the fuel chamber, has its position controlled by the engine temperature responsive thermostatic control mechanism of the cold start device. The pump diaphragm carries a shut-off valve opposite the pump fuel inlet. Fuel is pumped into the cold start device by the pump when the carburetter throttle valve is opened before the engine has warmed up to normal working temperature. The movable stop is moved towards the pump fuel inlet, as the engine warms up, and seats the shut-off valve in that fuel inlet when the engine has warmed up to its normal working temperature so that the pump does not function to pump fuel into the cold start device once the engine has warmed up to its normal working temperature.
Abstract:
A carburetor for internal combustion engines including an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of the engine, a main fuel nozzle opening to the intake passage, a main throttle valve device provided in said intake passage, a float chamber for supplying fuel to said main fuel nozzle, a starting air passage opening to the intake passage at the downstream side of the throttle valve shut-off valve in the starting air passage, a second float chamber for supplying fuel to said starting air passage, and a passage introducing intake suction pressure to the upper portion of only the second float chamber. Also disclosed is apparatus wherein the main fuel nozzle and starting fuel nozzle communicate with a common float chamber, and the starter valve means comprises means for connecting the overlaying region of said float chamber with the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve when the starter valve means is in the open position.
Abstract:
Internal combustion engine including a fuel supply system which comprises a main carburetor having an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of the engine. The engine is further provided with a starting fuel supply device which includes a starting fuel supply passage having one end opening to atmosphere and the other end connected with the intake passage. The starting fuel supply passage is provided with a fuel discharge nozzle and a starter valve disposed downstream of the nozzle. The supply passage has a cross-sectional area which is small in relation to that of the intake passage so that adequate air flow speed can be ensured even in engine starting period.
Abstract:
An acceleration pump delivers additional fuel to both the main intake passage and the auxiliary intake passage of an internal combustion engine, to facilitate cold starting. In such an engine, each main combustion chamber is in communication with an auxiliary combustion chamber, respectively. Coordinated means are provided for operating said acceleration pump and throttle valves in said intake passages. Communication between the acceleration pump and the main intake passage remains open at all times, but a passageway connecting the acceleration pump and the auxiliary intake passage is closed except when the ambient temperature is low. Closure of the connecting passageway is effected automatically or in coordination with operation of the choke valve for the main intake passage.
