Valve Timing Diagram of Petrol Engine
Valve Timing Diagram for a Four Stroke Cycle Petrol Engine -The petrol engines is also known as spark ignition engines.The valve timing diagram for a four stroke cycle petrol engine is shown in Figure:
The
following particulars are important for a four stroke cycle petrol engine
regarding valve timing diagram:
(a)
The inlet valve opens (IVO) at 10°- 20°
before top dead center (TDC) and closes 30° - 40°
after bottom dead center (BDC).
(b)
The compression
of charge starts at 30° - 40° after BDC and ends at 20° - 30° before TDC.
(c)
The ignition
(IGN) of charge takes place at 20° - 30° before TDC.
(d)
The expansion
starts at 20° - 30° before TDC and ends at 30° - 50°
before BDC.
(e)
The exhaust
valve opens (EVO) at 30° - 50° before BDC and closes at 10° - 15° after TDC.
Note:-
(i)
The inlet valve of a four stroke I.C. engine remains open for 230°.
(ii)
The charge
is compressed when both the valves (i.e. inlet valve and exhaust valve) are
closed.
(iii)
The charge
is ignited with the help of a spark plug.
(iv)
The pressure
inside the engine cylinder is above the atmospheric pressure during the exhaust
stroke.
