TWO STROKE ENGINE

2103471 Internal Combustion Engine

Two-Stroke Engines No separate intake and exhaust strokes One power stroke per revolution Two strokes per cycle

Two Stroke Spark Ignition Engine Stroke 1: Fuel-air mixture is introduced into the cylinder and is then compressed, combustion initiated at the end of the stroke Combustion products expand doing work and then exhausted

Stroke 2:

* Power delivered to the crankshaft on every revolution

Where are they used? Small size engines Model engines, scooters, chainsaws, motorcycles etc Very large size Marine engines, power generation applications

Advantages (Small size SI engines) - Compact - Light - Simple - Robust - CHEAP

Disadvantages

-Poor scavenging (gas exchange) - Short circuiting of fuel - High thermal stresses

Scavenging concepts

- Cross scavenging - Loop scavenging - Uniflow scavenging (through scavenging) - Reverse loop scavenging
