    2.direct & Indirect Combustion Chamber

    Uploaded by

    Sundar Mahalingam
    This document discusses different types of direct and indirect combustion chambers used in compression ignition (CI) engines. It describes the key differences between direct and indirect combustion chambers. Direct combustion chambers have the entire combustion volume located within the main cylinder, while indirect chambers separate the combustion space between the cylinder and cylinder head. The document then outlines the main advantages and drawbacks of direct combustion chambers and describes some common types of direct combustion chambers like shallow depth, hemispherical, cylindrical, and toroidal chambers. It also classifies the three main types of indirect combustion chambers: swirl chambers, pre-combustion chambers, and air cell chambers.

    Direct & Indirect combustion

    chamber

    CI engine combustion chamber


    Direct combustion chamber
    Indirect combustion chamber

    Direct combustion chamber


    Open combustion chamber
    Entire vol of combustion chamber is located in
    the main cylinder
    Fuel - injected into this vol.

    Advantages
    Minimum heat loss during compression
    because of lower surface area to vol ratio
    Better efficiency
    No cold starting problems
    Fine atomization because of multi-hole nozzle

    Drawbacks
    High fuel-injection pressure is required
    Need complex design of fuel-injection pump
    Necessity of accurate metering of fuel by the
    injection system, particularly for small engines

    Types

    Shallow Depth Chamber


    Hemispherical chamber
    Cylindrical chamber
    Toroidal chamber

    Shallow Depth Chamber


    Depth of cavity
    provided in the piston is
    quite small
    Large engines running
    at low speed
    Cavity dia is very large,
    the squish is negligible

    Hemispherical chamber
    Gives small squish
    Depth of dia ratio for a
    cylindrical chamber can
    be varied to give any
    desired squish to give
    better performance

    Cylindrical Chamber
    Recent diesel engines
    Modification of cylindrical
    chamber in the form of a
    turncated cone with base
    angle of 30o
    Swirl was produced by
    making the valve for
    nearly 180o of
    circumference
    Squish varied by varying
    the depth

    Toroidal Chamber
    Provide a powerful
    squish along with the
    air movement
    Cone angle for spray
    150 to160o

    Indirect injection system


    Combustion space is divided into 2 parts
    One part main cylinder
    Other part cylinder head
    Fuel injector is located in cylinder head

    Classification
    1. Swirl chamber in which compression swirl is
    generated
    2. Pre-combustion chamber in which
    combustion swirl is induced
    3. Air cell chamber in which both compression
    and combustion swirl are induced

    Swirl chamber

    Pre-combustion chamber

    Air cell chamber
