1 S.I Engine
2 C.I Engine
Now this question must be coming to your mind that what are S.I engine and c.i engine and how do they work, let us answer all these questions.
SI Engine
You might know S.I engine as spark ignition engine because s.I engine is the full form of spark ignition engine, so it is also known as S.I, now let's talk about how it works.
Because petrol is used as fuel in S.I engine
And in it, a spark of fuel burns, which comes out of the spark plug, enters the cylinder-, and burns petrol, which converts the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical and turns the shaft.
Now this question must be coming to your mind that why diesel is not used in S.I engine, the answer is that
In an S.I engine, the spark from the spark comes inside the cylinder and ignites the petrol whereas in the case of diesel there is no spark, the fuel is ignited by the carburetor
Now let's talk about what happens to the C. I engine, how it works and why it is kept separate from the S.I engine.
CI Engine
CI engine is also called compressor ignition engine CI engine is used as fuel and the method of combustion of fuel in this Si
engine is very different, it has no spark pluck like Si while the fuel in it as combustion fuel. is caused by the compressor
Now all of you must have understood that what is S.I engine and c.i and how both of them work.
now comes the stroke
Stay tuned in this article to know what are strokes, what are 2 strokes and 4 strokes and how they work, only then you will be able to understand the working of 2 strokes and 4 strokes.
the strokes
If the piston of the S.I engine or C. I engine moves from TDC [top dead center] to BDC
[bottom dead center], we know that the distance between moves as one stroke, then the piston moves from BDC to TDC from above Is. Second stroke.
Classification of IC locomotives
1 based on the number of strokes per cycle
2 Based on fuel used
3 Based on the number of cylinders
5 based a cooling system
6 based engine speed
1 based the number of strokes per cycle
four-stroke engine
2 Based on fuel used
[A] Petrol
[B] Diesel
[c] gas engine
[D] Bi-fuel engine which is primarily designed for both fixed fuel and gas but uses liquid fuel for starting purposes
Example - Initially when we take a petrol or diesel vehicle, after some time we call that vehicle as L.P.G or C.N.G.
3 Based on the number of cylinders
[A] Single cylinder engine
[B] Multi-cylinder engine
For example - A Motorcycle engine uses one cylinder while some motorcycles have more than one cylinder
4 based on the ignition system
[A] Spark Ignition [SI] Engine – Petrol engines use a spark ignition system to ignite the compressive charge
[B] Compression Ignition – The diesel engine uses the higher engine temperature raised due to the higher compression ratio of the cylinders
5 based on the cooling system
[A] Water Cooled Engine
[B] air-cooled engine
6 based engine speed
[A] low speed
[B] medium speed
[c] high speed
Note - Petrol engines are high-speed engines and diesel engines are low to medium speed engines
