    Governing of IC Engines

    The document discusses different methods for governing internal combustion engines to maintain a constant speed under varying load conditions. It describes hit and miss governing used for smaller engines where explosions are omitted to reduce speed. Qualitative governing controls the fuel quantity mixed into the charge via a valve regulated by a centrifugal governor. Quantitative governing varies the air-fuel mixture quantity supplied to the cylinder using a throttle valve also controlled by the governor, while keeping the mixture ratio constant. A combination system uses elements of both qualitative and quantitative governing.

    Governing of IC Engines

    The process of providing any arrangement, which will keep the engine speed
    constant (according to the changing load conditions), is known as governing of I.C.
    engines. Though there are many methods for the governing of I.C. engines, yet the
    following are important:

    1. Hit and miss governing. In this system of governing, whenever the engine
    starts running at higher speed (due to decreased load), some explosions are omitted
    or missed. This is done with the help of a centrifugal governor. This method of
    governing is widely used for I. C. engines of smaller capacity or gas engines.

    2. Qualitative governing. In this system of governing, a control valve is fitted in


    the fuel delivery pipe, which controls the quantity of fuel to be mixed in the
    charge. The movement of control valve is regulated by the centrifugal governor
    through rack and pinion arrangement.

    3. Quantitative governing. In this system of governing, the quality of charge (i.e.


    air-fuel ratio of the mixture) is kept constant. But the quantity of mixture supplied
    to the engine cylinder is varied by means of a throttle valve which is regulated by
    the centrifugal governor through rack and pinion arrangement.

    4. Combination system of governing. In this system of governing, the qualitative


    and quantitative methods of governing are combined together.

    Q: What is quantity governing and quality governing in SI engines?

    Quantitative governing. In this system of governing, the quality of charge (i.e.


    air-fuel ratio of the mixture) is kept constant. But the quantity of mixture supplied
    to the engine cylinder is varied by means of a throttle valve which is regulated by
    the centrifugal governor through rack and pinion arrangement.

    The part load efficiency of SI engine is poor because air fuel ratio
    remains constant even if we need low power.

    Qualitative governing. In this system of governing, a control valve is fitted in the


    fuel delivery pipe, which controls the quantity of fuel to be mixed in the charge.
    The movement of control valve is regulated by the centrifugal governor through
    rack and pinion arrangement.

    Part load efficiency of CI engine is good because we can use lean


    mixture and rich mixtures easily according to our requirement.
