Centrifugal type | Root Type | Vane Type || knowledgeaboutautomobille


Types of Supercharging:

  (i) Centrifugal type:

The centrifugal type supercharger is commonly used in automotive engines.





  A V-belt from the engine pulley runs the supercharger. First,the air-fuel mixture enters the impeller at the centre. It then passes through the impeller and the diffuser vanes. Finally, air or mixture enters the volute casing and then goes to the engine from the casing. The mixture will come out at higher pressure and this condition is called supercharged condition.

Because of higher pressure more air-fuel mixture is forced into the cylinder.About 30% more air-fuel mixture can be forced into the combustion chamber.

The impeller runs at very high speeds, about 80,000 revolutions per minute.Therefore the impeller should be able to withstand the high stresses produced at this speed.

 Impellers are usually made of duralumin, or alloy steels, towithstand the high stresses.

    (ii) Root’s type:

The Root’s super-charger has two rotors of epicycloids shape, with each rotor keyed to its shaft.One rotor is connected with the other one by means of gears. The gears are of equal size and therefore both the rotors rotate at the same speed. The Root’s supercharger operates like a gear pump. The mixture at the outlet of this supercharger will be at much higher pressure than the inlet.



    (iii) Vane type:

 A number of vanes are mounted on the drum which is inside the body of the supercharger.The vanes can slide in or out, against the force of the spring. Because of this arrangement, the vanes are always in contact with the inner surface of the body. The space between the inner surface of the body and the drum decreases from the inlet to the outer side. In this way, the quantity of the mixture which enters at the inlet, decreases in volume, because of which the pressure of the mixture will increase as it reaches the exit.

What is the MAGNETO IGNITION SYSTEM? | WORKING | knowledgeaboutautomobile957

MAGNETO IGNITION SYSTEM Magneto is a special type of ignition system with its own electric generator to provide the necessary energy for the system. It is mounted on the engine and replaces all the components of the coil ignition system except the spark plug. A magneto when rotated by the engine is capable of producing a very high voltage and it does not need a battery as a source of external energy. The high tension magneto incorporates the windings to generate the primary voltage as well as to step up the voltage and thus does not require a separate coil to boost up the voltage required to operate the spark plug. Magneto can be either rotating armature type or rotating magnet type. In the first type, the armature consisting of the primary and secondary windings all rotate between the poles of a stationary magnet. whilst, in the second type the magnet revolves and the windings are kept stationary. A third type of magnet to called the polar inductor type is also in use. In the polar in...

Introduction to LiDar Sensors // Self Driving Cars //Autonomous vehicle // Sensor

  1 / 3 Lidar — Light Detection and Ranging 2 / 3 Autonomous vehicle 3 / 3 Caption Three What is Lidar LiDAR, or light detection and ranging, is a popular remote sensing method used for measuring the exact distance of an object on the earth’s surface. Even though it was  first used in the 1960s  when laser scanners were mounted to aeroplanes, LiDAR didn’t get the popularity it deserved until twenty years later. It was only during the 1980s after the introduction of GPS that it became a popular method for calculating accurate geospatial measurements. According to the  American Geoscience Institute , LiDAR uses a pulsed laser to calculate an object’s variable distances from the earth surface. These light pulses — put together with the information collected by the airborne system — generate accurate 3D information about the earth surface and the target object Types of LiDAR Systems Works during day ...
