 2-Stroke Engines
One drive cycle for every
360 degrees of crankshaft
rotation
It is characterized by its
simple design and small
number of simple moving
parts. It is also lighter in
weight, less expensive, has
fewer malfunctions, and
lower maintenance costs.
The weight to power ratio is
(2.5-45) Kg/Kw and the
power to volume ratio is
(25-45) Kw/L
Effective pressure (5-7) bar
Open gas exchange and
greater exhaust losses,
which leads to higher fuel
consumption
The torque is regular and
the power is better. At no
load and at low speeds, the
torque decreases
More complex in design and
more sensitive to see the
exhaust smoke of oil
combustion
A question mentioned in the lecture:
Which engine needs more lubrication?
A two-stroke engine requires more lubrication due to its reliance on air
cooling.
4-Stroke Engines
One duty cycle for every P-V work chart
720 degrees of crankshaft
rotation
It requires a large number design
of equipment to control the
operation of the valves,
requires more space for
installation, and is heavier
and more expensive
The weight to power ratio is The ratio of power to both
greater than or equal to weight and volume
(2.5-6.5) Kg/Kw and the
power to volume ratio =
(20-50) Kw/L
Effective pressure (7-10) bar pressure
Closed gas exchange and Gas exchange
small expulsion losses,
which leads to a reduction
in the specific fuel
consumption rate
Irregular because the work Torque
cycle includes one block
cycle and three work-free
cycles
Simpler in design and less Gas control
sensitive, no exhaust smoke
from oil combustion is seen
