HISTORY OF TRACTOR
(INTERNATIONAL)
WHAT IS A TRACTOR ?
A Tractoris a vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at
slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or
construction.
The word tractorwas taken from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere"to pull". The first
recorded use of the word meaning "an engine or vehicle for pulling wagons or ploughs"
occurred in 1901, displacing the earlier term traction engine(1859).
The first powered farm implements in the early 19th century were portable engines
steam engines on wheels that could be used to drive mechanical farm machinery by way
of a flexible belt.
Around 1850, the first traction engines were developed from these, and were widely
adopted for agricultural use. The first tractors were steam-powered plowing engines.
They were used in pairs, placed on either side of a field to haul a plow back and forthbetween them using a wire cable. Where soil conditions permitted (as in the United
States) steam tractors were used to direct-haul plows, but in the UK and elsewhere
plowing engines were used for cable-hauled plowing instead. Steam-powered agricultural
engines remained in use well into the 20th century until reliable internal combustion
engines had been developed.
In 1892, John Froehlich invented and built the first gasoline/petrol powered tractor in
Clayton County, Iowa, USA. After receiving a patent Froehlich started up the Waterloo
Gasoline Engine Company, investing all of his assets which by 1895, all would be lost and
his business resigned to become a failure.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr
developed a two-cylinder gasoline engine and set up their business in Charles City, Iowa.
In 1903 the firm built fifteen "tractors". A term with Latin roots coined by Hart and Parr
and a combination of the words traction and power. The 14,000 pound #3 is the oldest

surviving internal combustion engine tractor in the United States and is on display at the
Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. The two-cylinder
engine has a unique hit-and-miss firing cycle that produced 30 horsepower at the belt and18 at the drawbar.
In Britain, the first recorded tractor sale was the oil-burning Hornsby-Ackroyd Patent
Safety Oil Traction engine, in 1897. However, the first commercially successful design was
Dan Alboins three-wheel Ivel tractor of 1902. In 1908, the Sanderson Tractor and
Implement Co. of Bedford introduced a four-wheel design, and went on to become the
largest tractor manufacturer outside the U.S. at that time.
While unpopular at first, these gasoline-powered machines began to catch on in the 1910s
when they became smaller and more affordable. Henry Ford introduced the Fordson, the
first mass-produced tractor in 1917. They were built in the U.S., Ireland, England and
Russia and by 1923; Fordson had 77% of the U.S. market. The Fordson dispensed with a
frame, using the strength of the engine block to hold the machine together. By the 1920s,
tractors with a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine had become the norm.

TYPES OF TRACTOR
ROW-CROP TRACTORS:
A row-crop tractor is a tractor tailored specifically to the growing of row crops (crops
grown in rows, as in truck farming), and most especially to cultivating. The big tractors
tended to be very big and heavy, so they were not well suited to getting into a field of
already-planted row crops to do weed control. Row-crop tractorslight, affordable, and
reliablecorrected this flaw.
ORCHARD TRACTORS:
Tractors tailored to use in fruit orchards typically have features suited to passing undertree branches with impunity.
GARDEN TRACTORS:
Garden Tractors (also called Mini Tractors) are small, light and simple tractors designed
for use in domestic gardens. Garden Tractors are usually designed primarily for cutting
grass, being fitted with horizontal rotary cutting decks. As well as dedicated manufacturers,
many makers of agricultural tractors have made (or continue to make) ranges of garden
tractors, such as Case, Massey-Ferguson, International Harvester and John Deere.
ENGINEERING TRACTORS:
The durability and engine power of tractors made them very suitable for engineering
tasks. Tractors can be fitted with engineering tools such as dozer blade, bucket, hoe, ripper,
and so on. The most common attachments for the front of a tractor are dozer blade or a
bucket. When attached with engineering tools the tractor is called an engineering vehicle.
A bulldozer is a track-type tractor attached with blade in the front and a rope-winch
behind. Bulldozers are very powerful tractors and have excellent ground-hold, as their main
tasks are to push or drag things.

TRACTOR HISTORY IN INDIA
1945 to 1960
War surplus tractors and bulldozers were imported for land reclamation and cultivation
in mid 1940's. In 1947 central and state tractor organizations were set up to develop and
promote the supply and use of tractors in agriculture and up to 1960, the demand was met
entirely through imports. There were 8,500 tractors in use in 1951, 20,000 in 1955 and
37,000 by 1960.
1961 to 1970
Local production began in 1961 with five manufacturers producing a total of 880 unitsper year. By 1965 this had increased to over 5000 units per year and the total in use had
risen to over 52,000. By 1970 annual production had exceeded 20,000 units with over
146,000 units working in the country.
1971 to 1980
Six new manufacturers were established during this period although three companies
(Kirloskar Tractors, Harsha Tractors and Pattie Tractors) did not survive. HMT, a large public
sector unit, began manufacturing Agricultural Tractors in 1972. Escorts Ltd. began local
manufacture of Ford tractors in 1971 in collaboration with Ford, UK.
1981 to 1990
Annual production exceeded 75,000 units by 1985 and reached 140,000 in 1990 when
the total in use was about 1.2 million. Then India - a net importer up to the mid-seventies -
became an exporter in the 1980s mainly to countries in Africa.
1991 to 1997
Since 1992, it has not been necessary to obtain an industrial license for tractor
manufacture in India. India now emerged as one of the world leaders in wheeled tractorproduction.

1997 to 1999
In 1998 Bajaj Tempo, already well established in the motor industry, began tractor
production in Pune. In April of the same year New Holland Tractor (India) Ltd launchedproduction of 70 hp tractors with matching equipment. Larsen and Toubro have established
a joint venture with John Deere, USA for the manufacture of 35-65 hp tractors. Mahindra
and Mahindra are also developing 60-200 hp range.
1999 to Present
Facing market saturation in the traditional markets of the North West (Punjab, Haryana,
and Western Uttar Pradesh) tractors sales began a slow and slight decline. By 2002 sales
went below 200,000. Manufacturers scrambled to push into eastern and southern India
markets in an attempt to reverse the decline, and began exploring the potential for
overseas markets. By 2004 a slight uptick in sales once again due to stronger and national
and to some extent international markets. But by 2006 sales once again were down to
216,000 and now in 2007-08 have slid further to just over 200,000.

ENGINE
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical
motion.Devices converting heat energy into motion are referred to as engines, which come in
many types. A common type is aheat enginesuch as aninternal combustion enginewhich typically
burns a fuel with air and uses the hot gases for generating power. External combustion engines
such assteam enginesuse heat to generate motion via a separate working fluid
The internal combustion engine is an engine in which thecombustionof afuel(generally,
fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal
combustion engine the expansion of the high temperature and high pressure gases, which are
produced by the combustion, directly applies force to components of the engine, such as the
pistons or turbine blades or a nozzle, and by moving it over a distance, generates useful
mechanical energy.
An external combustion engine (EC engine) is a heat enginewhere an internal working
fluidis heated by combustion of an external source, through the engine wall or aheat exchanger.
The fluidthen, by expanding and acting on the mechanismof the engine produces motion and
usable work.

Engine Configurations
Internal combustion engines can be classified by theirconfiguration.
a) Two-stroke cycle
b) Four-stroke cycle (or Otto cycle)
As their name implies, four-stroke internal combustion engines have four basic steps thatrepeat with every two revolutions of the engine:
1. Intake stroke: The first stroke of the IC engine is also known as the suction stroke
because the piston moves to the maximum volume position (downward direction in the
cylinder). The inlet valve opens as a result of piston movement, and the vaporized fuel
mixture enters the combustion chamber. The inlet valve closes at the end of this stroke.
2. Compression stroke: In this stroke, both valves are closed and the piston starts its
movement to the minimum volume position (upward direction in the cylinder) and
compress the fuel mixture. During the compression process, pressure, temperature and
the density of the fuel mixture increases.3. Power stroke: When the piston reaches the minimum volume position, the spark plug
ignites the fuel mixture and burns. The fuel produces power that is transmitted to the
crank shaft mechanism.
4. Exhaust stroke: In the end of the power stroke, the exhaust valve opens. During this
stroke, the piston starts its movement in the minimum volume position. The open
exhaust valve allows the exhaust gases to escape the cylinder. At the end of this stroke,
the exhaust valve closes, the inlet valve opens, and the sequence repeats in the next
cycle. Four stroke engines require two revolutions.

direction.

Most truck and automotive diesel engines use a cycle reminiscent of a four-stroke cycle,
but with a compression heating ignition system, rather than needing a separate ignition system.
This variation is called the diesel cycle. In the diesel cycle,diesel fuel is injected directly into the
cylinder so that combustion occurs at constant pressure, as the piston moves.
Otto cycle:Otto cycle is the typical cycle for most of the cars internal combustion engines, that
work using gasoline as a fuel. Otto cycle is exactly the same one that was described for the four-
stroke engine. It consists of the same four major steps: Intake, compression, ignition and
exhaust.

Parts of a Four-Stroke Engine-
Cylinder Head
Also referred to as the top end, the cylinder head houses the pistons, valves, rocker
arms and camshafts.

Page 29
Valves
A pair of valves, used for controlling fuel intake and exhaust, are controlled by a set of
fingers on the camshaft called lobes. As the intake valve opens, a mixture of fuel and air from
the carburetor is pulled into the cylinder. The exhaust valve expels the spent air/fuel mixture
after combustion..
Camshaft
Usually chain or gear-driven, the camshaft spins, using its lobes to actuate the rocker
arms. These open the intake and exhaust valves at preset intervals.
The Piston
The piston travels up and down within the cylinder and compresses the air/fuel mixture
to be ignited by a spark plug. The combustive force propels the piston downward. The piston isattached to a connecting rod by a wrist pin.
Piston Parts-
1. Head Or Crown
2. Piston Rings
3. Skirt
4. Piston Pin
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is made up of a left and right flywheel connected to the piston's
connecting rod by a crank pin, which rotates to create the piston's up-and-down motion. The
cam chain sprocket is mounted on the crankshaft, which controls the chain that drives the
camshaft.

GOVERNOR of an engine-
A governor, or speed limiter, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a
machine,such as anengine.A classic example is thecentrifugal governor,also known as theWatt
or fly-ball governor, which uses weights mounted on spring-loaded arms to determine how fast
a shaft is spinning, and then usesproportional controlto regulate the shaft speed.

Types of governor-1) Centrifugal governor
2) Pneumatic governor
3) Hydraulic governor
1)Centrifugal governor
A centrifugal governor is a specific type ofgovernorthat controls thespeedof anengine
by regulating the amount of fuel(orworking fluid)admitted, so as to maintain a near constant
speed whatever theloador fuel supply conditions. It uses the principle ofproportional control.
Diesel engine speedis controlled solely by the amount of fuel injected into the engine by
the injectors. Because a diesel engineis not self-speed-limiting, it requires not only a means of
changing engine speed (throttle control) but also a means of maintaining the desired speed.
The governor provides the engine with the feedback mechanism to change speed as needed
and to maintain a speed once reached. A governor is essentially a speed-sensitive device,designed to maintain a constant engine speed regardless of load variation. Since all governors
used on diesel engines control engine speed through the regulation of the quantity of fuel
delivered to the cylinders, these governors may be classified as speed-
2)Pneumatic governor-
Pneumatic governor that is responsive to the air flow (vacuum) in the intake manifold of
an engine. A diaphragm within the governor housing is connected to the fuel control linkage
that changes its setting with increases or decreases in the vacuum.

Page 32
3)Hydraulic governor-
Although hydraulic governors have more moving parts and are generally more
expensive than mechanical governors, they are used in many applications because they are
more sensitive, have greater power to move the fuel control mechanism of the engine, and canbe timed for identical speed for all loads. In hydraulic governors, the power which moves the
engine throttle does NOT come from the speed-measuring device, but instead comes from a
hydraulic power piston, or servomotor. This is a piston that is acted upon by fluid pressure,
generally oil under the pressure of a pump. By using appropriate piston size and oil pressure,
the power of the governor at its output shaft (work capacity) can be made sufficient to operate
the fuel-changing mechanism of the largest engines. The speed-measuring device, through its
speeder rod, is attached to a small cylindrical valve, called apilot valve. The pilot valve slides up
and down in a bushing, which contains ports that control the oil, flow to and from the
servomotor. The force needed to slide the pilot valve is very little; a small ball head is able tocontrol a large amount of power at the servomotor. The basic principle of a hydraulic governor
(fig. 5-7) is very simple. When the governor is operating at control speed or state of balance,
the pilot valve closes the port and there is no oil flow.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
I.C. engine is made of many moving parts. Due to continuous movement
of two metallic surfaces over each other, there is wearing of moving parts,
generation of heat and loss of power in the engine. Lubrication of moving parts is
essential to prevent all these harmful effects.Lubrication produces the following effect-
1) Reduces frictional effect
2) Cooling effect
3) Sealing effect
4) Cleaning effect
Types of Lubricants
Lubricants can be classified by their originanimal (e.g. oil, goose grease), vegetable
(e.g., soybean oil, linseed oil), or mineral (e.g., petroleum, molybdenum sulfide). From ancient
times until the late 19th cent. lubricants were obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats and
oils. Today most are derived from mineral oils, such as petroleum and shale oil, which can be
distilled and condensed without decomposition. Synthetic lubricants, such as silicones, are of
great value in applications involving extreme temperatures. In certain types of high-speed
machinery films of gas under pressure have been successfully used as lubricants.
The lubricating system of an engine is an arrangement of mechanism and devices which
maintains supply of lubricating oil to rubbing surfaces of an engine at correct pressure and
temperature.
The parts which require lubrication are
Cylinder walls and piston
Piston pin
Crankshaft and connecting rod bearing
Camshaft bearings
Valve operating mechanisms Cooling fan
Water pump
Ignition mechanism

Types of Lubrication Systems-
1. Splash system
2. Forced feed system
3. Combination of splash and forced feed
In captain tractor splash system is used. So it is given as-
1. Splash Lubrication System
In the splash lubricating system, oil is splashed up from the oil pan or oil trays in the
lower part of the crankcase. The oil is thrown upward as droplets or fine mist and provides
adequate lubrication to valve mechanisms, piston pins, cylinder walls, and piston rings.
In the engine, dippers on the connecting-rod bearing caps enter the oil pan with each
crankshaft revolution to produce the oil splash. A passage is drilled in each connecting rod from
the dipper to the bearing to ensure lubrication. This system is usually used in single cylinder
engines with closed crankcase.

38/140
Page 38
2. Forced feed lubrication system-
In this system, the oil is pumped directly to the crankshaft, connecting rod, piston pin,
timing gears and camshaft of the engine through suitable paths of oil. Usually the oil first enters
the main gallery, which may be a pipe or a channel in the crankcase casting. From this pipe, it
goes to each of the main bearings through holes. From main bearings, it goes to big endbearings of connecting rod through drilled holes in the crankshaft. From there, it goes to
lubricate the walls, pistons and rings.
Fig:forced feed system
OIL FILTER-
An oil filter removes all the dirty elements of the oil in an effective way. It is a type of
strainer using cloth, paper, felt, wire screen or similar elements. An oil filter is afilter designed
to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil, or hydraulic oil.Oil
filters are used in many different types ofhydraulic machinery.A chief use of the oil filter is in
internal-combustion engines in on- and off-roadmotor vehicles,lightaircraft,and variousnaval
vessels. Other vehicle hydraulic systems, such as those in automatic transmissions andpowersteering,are often equipped with an oil filter.
Wearing of parts, oil consumption and operating cost of an engine can be considerably
reduced by proper maintenance of oil filters. These are of two types-
a) Full-flow filter
b) By-pass filter

a)Full-flow filter-
In this filter, the entire quantity of oil is forced to circulate through it before it enters the
engine. A spring loaded valve is usually fitted in the filter as a protection device against oil
starvation in case of filter getting clogged. Filter element consists of felt, cloth, paper, and
plastic.
Fig:full-flow filter
b)By-pass filter-
In this type of filter, the supply lines are from the pump and are connected to permit only a
part of the oil through the filter, the balance oil reaches directly to the engine parts.
Mechanical filter-
Mechanical designs employ an element made of bulk material (such as cotton waste) or
pleatedFilter paper to entrap and sequester suspended contaminants. As material builds up on
(or in) the filtration medium, oil flow is progressively restricted. This requires periodic
replacement of the filter element (or the entire filter, if the element is not separately
replaceable).

TROUBLES IN LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Excessive oil consumption- when there is excessive oil consumption, the reasons are-
i. More oil goes to combustion chamber and gets burnt
ii. Some leakage occurs in some part of the line.iii. Loss of oil in form of vapour through ventilating system.
Oil can enter the combustion chamber through rings and cylinder walls, worn piston rings
and worn bearings.
Low oil pressure-it results due to-
i. weak relief valve spring
ii. worn oil pump
iii. cracked oil line
iv. obstruction in the oil lines
v. very thin oilvi. worn-out bearings
Care should be taken to remove these defects as far as possible to increase the oil pressure
in the lubricating system.
Excessive oil pressure- it may result due to
i. stuck relief valve
ii. strong valve spring
iii. clogged oil line
iv. very heavy oil
These defects should be removed to reduce the excessive oil pressure in the lubricating
system. Sometimes defective oil pressure indicator shows high oil pressure.
LUBRICATING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
There are certain lubricating system service jobs that are more or less done
automatically when an engine is repaired. For example, the oil pan is removed and cleaned
during such engine overhaul jobs as replacing bearing or rings. When the crankshaft is
removed, it is usual procedure to clean out the oil passages in the crankshaft. Also, the oil
passages in the cylinder block should be cleaned out as part of the overhaul. As a Construction
Mechanic, you will be required to maintain the lubrication system. This maintenance normally
consists of changing the oil and filter(s). Occasionally you will be required to perform such
maintenance tasks as replacing lines and fittings, servicing or replacing the oil pump and relief
valve, and flushing the system. Oil and Filter Change It is extremely important that the oil and
filter(s) of the engine are serviced regularly.

Fuel system
Properties of fuel
Fuel is a substance consumed by the engine to produce energy. The common fuel for
internal combustion enginesare:
Petrol
Power kerosene
High speed diesel oil
Light diesel oil
Quality of fuel
The quality of fuel mainly depends upon the following properties: Volatility of fuel
Calorific value of fuel
Ignition quality of fuel
Volatility:
Volatility of fuel has considerable effect on the performance of the engine by affecting
the following:
a) Ease of starting the engine
b) Degree of crankcase oil dilutionc) Formation of vapour lock in the fuel system
d) Accelerating characteristics of the engine
e) Distribution of fuel in multicylinder engine
Calorific value:
The heat liberated by combustion of a fuel is known as calorific valueor heat valueof
the fuel. It is expressed In kcal/kg of the fuel. The heat value of a fuel is an important measure
of its worth, since this is the heat which enables the engine to do work.
Ignition quality:
Ignition quality refers to ease of burning the oil in the combustion chamber. Octane
numberand cetane numberare the mesasures of ignition quality of the fuel.

42/140
Page 42
Detonation (Knocking):
Detonation or engine knocking refers to violent noises, heard in an engine, giving a
pinging sound during the process of combustion. It occurs during the process of combustion of
the mixture within the cylinder after the ignition has taken place. It is an undesirable
combustion and results in sudden rise in pressure, a loss of power and overheating of the
engine. It is caused by -
Improper combustion chamber
High compression pressure
Early ignition timing
Improper fuel
Inadequate cooling arrangement
Preignition
Burning of air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber before the piston has reached
the top dead centre is called preignition. It occurs when the charge is fired too far ahead of the
top dead centre of the piston due to excessive spark advance or excessive heat in the cylinder.
Fuel Test
A few important tests are recommended to determine the suitability of fuels for an I.C.
engine. The following are the important tests.
1. Gravity test:
The gravity of a fuel or oil may be expressed as specific gravity or as API gravity, a scale
devised by American Petroleum Institute. The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of its weightto the weight of an equal, volume of water at 60'1
01 the relationship of the API gravity scale to
specific gravity is expressed by the formula:
A.P.I. degrees = 141.5 131.5
Specific gravity of oil at 60'T
The instrument used for testing the specific gravity of oil is known as hydrometer. The
lighter fuel of lower specific gravity has higher API gravity expressed in degrees. Pure water has
got API gravity as 10.
2. Distillation test:It is a measure of volatility of a fuel. In this test, measured amount of oil is boiled in a flask,
starting from a low temperature and gradually increasing it. The amount of condensed vapour
corresponding to each temperature is collected and noted separately. This process goes on
operating till the evaporation ceases.
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
43/140
Page 43
3. Vapour pressure test:
A special instrument known as Reid vapour pressure test is commonly used to measure the
vapour pressure of a fuel. The pressure is read on the Bourdon gauge at 100F temperature.
Vapour pressure is a measure of starting ability as well is vapour lock tendencies of the fuel.
4. Sulphur test:
Sulphur test is done for the following purposes:(a) To find out presence of corrosive sulphur compounds in the fuel oil.
(b) To find out quantity of free and combined sulphur present in the fuel oil.
The corrosive sulphur is indicated by immersing a polished strip of copper in the fuel for 3
hours at 122F. A comparison is made with this strip and a freshly polished copper. If' corrosive
sulphur is present, the colour would be discoloured. For finding the total quantity of sulphur,
sample of fuel is burnt in test bombs or wick lamps and sulphur is measured.
5. Carbon residue:
Carbon residue is an indication of the carbon forming properties of the oil under certain
engine conditions. It is a means of measuring the amount of carbon residue left on evaporating
in oil under specified conditions.
6. Colour test:
Colour test also indicates certain physical properties of oil to some extent but it is not a very
reliable test.
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
44/140
Page 44
7. Gum test:
Gum test is a measure of the presence of gum in the oil. The test consists of evaporating
samples of fuel in special apparatus. The residue is weighed in milligrams per 100cc of fuel. The
evaporation takes place in a copper dish and is continued for a longer period of time, indicating
gum-forming properties that may develop upon storage, exposure to air and light.
8. Flash test:
The flash point of oil is the temperature at which inflammable vapours are given off. The oil
sample is heated and the temperature at which distinct flash is obtained when flame is passed
over the container is called flash point. The results are important for safety and fire protection
measures.
Qualities of diesel fuel
The diesel fuel is of two types:1. High speed diesel oil (HSD)
2. Light diesel oil (LDO)
High speed diesel oil is used for high speed diesel engines. It is lighter than LDO. Light diesel
oil is the main source of fuel for slow speed engines.
I. Diesel fuel should be free from acid or any foreign matter, dirt and moisture.
II. It must be able to lubricate the fuel pumps and fuel injection nozzles, light fuels lack
sufficient lubricating qualities.III. Diesel fuels are rated according to the cetane number, which is the indication of ignition
quality of the fuel. The higher the cetane number, the better the ignition quality of the
fuel.
Fuel combustion
The process of fuel combustion converts the chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy.
Fuel combustion of I.C. engine takes place in two ways:
1) A mixture of air and fuel is compressed and ignited by a spark. This is called spark
ignition engine or carburetor type engine.
2) Air alone is compressed and fuel is injected near the end of the
Compression stroke. Fuel is ignited by the heat of compression.
This is called diesel engine or compression ignition engine.
For getting maximum power from the carburetor engine, it is essential:
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
45/140
Page 45
1) To maintain proper proportion of fuel and air.
2) To ignite the mixture at the proper time.
Best result is obtained when carburetor is so adjusted that alit- fuel ratio is about 15:1. Such
mixture is called chemically correct mixture. This relation is explained in the following example.
Example 5.1. Find air-fuel ratio for complete combustion of fuel in a carburetor engine,wane petrol which approximates to hexane C6H14.
Solution. Air contains 23% oxygen by weight.
Petrol when mixed with oxygen forms carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.
C6H14+ 02 CO2 + H2O ...(1)
After balancing the above equation, it is obtained as:
2(C6H12) + 19(O2) = 12(CO2) + 14(H20)
or (2 x 86) + (19 x 32) = (12 x 44) + (14 x 18) or 780 = 780
Oxygen per kg of fuel = 608/172=3.54kg
Correct air supply per kg of fuel = 3.54 x 100/23
= 15.36 kg,
Correct air-fuel ratio = 15.37:1
Fuel Supply System In Spark Ignition EngineThe fuel supply system of spark ignition engine consists of
1. Fuel tank 2. Sediment bowl
3. Fuel lifts pump 4. Carburetor and5. Fuel pipes.
In some spark ignition engine, the fuel tank is placed above the level of the carburetor. The
fuel flows from the fuel tank to the carburetor under the action of gravity. There are one or two
filters between the fuel tank and the carburetor. A transparent sediment bowl is also provided
to hold the dust and dirt of the fuel. If the tank is below the level of the carburetor, a lift pump
is provided in between the tank and the carburetor for forcing fuel from the tank to the
carburetor of the engine, The fuel comes from the fuel tank to the sediment bowl and then to
the lift pump. From there the fuel goes to the carburetor through suitable pipe. From the
carburetor, the fuel goes to the engine cylinder through the inlet manifold of the engine.

METHOD OF SUPPLYING FUEL TO TILE JET OF THE CARBURETOR
If the fuel tank above the carbutor, the fuel flows by gravity force to a float chamber which
maintains constant head at the jet of the carburetor. If the tank is below the carburetor, thereare three methods of supplying fuel to the jet of the carburetor:
(a) Suction method
(b) Overflow method
(c) Float valve method
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
47/140
Page 47
(a) Suction method:
In this method, there is a check valve, provided in the fuel tank. The check valve is connected to
the needle valve through a pipe. It is mainly used on single cylinder engine operating at
constant load or speed. Any change in engine load or speed, requires adjustment of the needle
valve. The fuel is drawn from the tank through a tube and the amount of fuel is controlled by a
needle valve.
(b) Overflow method:
A pump sup-plies fuel to a chamber equipped with an overflow pipe. It is used on
stationary single cylinder engine.
Carburetor with feed pump to fuel reservoir
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
48/140
Page 48
A fuel pump is used to maintain regular supply of fuel oil. Excess fuel is sent back to the fuel
tank by a return pipe.
Diaphragm type fuel pump
(c) Float valve method:
A diaphragm pump is used to lift the fuel from the tank to the float chamber. This
method is common on multicylinder engines. The amount of fuel is controlled by a float
operated needle valve in the pressure line.
CARBURETOR
The process of preparing an air-fuel mixture away from the cylinders of an engine is called
carburetion and the device in which this process takes place is called carburetor
Principle of carburetor
The basic principle of all carburetor design is that when air flows over the end of a narrow
tube or jet containing liquid, some liquid is drawn into the air stream. The quantity of liquid
drawn into they air stream increases as the speed of air flow over the jet rises and also the
quantity is greater if the jet is made larger.In practice, the fuel level in the jet is maintained by a float chamber. The fuel levels in the
jet and in the float chamber are always the same. As the fuel is consumed, the level in the float
chamber goes down. The float in the float chamber also goes down and the needle valve comes
off its seat allowing more fuel into the chamber from the fuel tank. When the fuel level rises to
its correct level, the float presses the needle valve back to its seat and cuts off the fuel flow.
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
49/140
Page 49
The velocity of the air flowing over the jet is increased by a constriction. in the induction pipe
known as Venturi.
A throttle butterfly valve provides an adjustable obstruction in the induction pipe. It is
used to control the flow of air-fuel mixture to the engine. As the butterfly valve is turned into
the accelerate position, the air flow over the jet increases and more fuel is drawn out into the
air stream, keeping the mixture strength constant.A second butterfly valve called Choke is used to provide a richer mixture for the engine to
start in cold condition. The choke controls the volume of air entering into the venturi. A second
jet is fitted near the throttle butterfly which is used when the engine is idling.Fuel is delivered to the float chamber through fuel pipe either by gravity or by a pump.
The float chamber is connected with the mixing chamber (venturi) via fuel nozzle equipped with
fuel jet.
Float and needle valve maintain a constant fuel level in the float chamber. As the float
chamber is filled with fuel, the float rises by virtue of its buoyancy; this actuates the needle
valve to close the inlet passage when the desired level of fuel is reached. When the fuel levelgoes down, the float also goes down; allowing more fuel to enter the float chamber and same
sequence is maintained.
Function of Carburetor
The main functions of the carburetor are:
I. To mix the air and fuel thoroughly
2.To atomise the fuel
3.To regulate the air-fuel ratio at different speeds and loads and
4.4. To supply correct amount of mixture at different speeds and loads.
COMPONENTS OF CARBURETORA carburetor consists of the following components:
I. Venturi tube. It is provided to produce low pressure in the throat of the carburetor.
The suction force causes the fuel to rise in the jet. The fuel is discharged at a rate
proportional to the air velocity, available at that point.
II. Float chamber. Float chamber is a reservoir to maintain a constant level of fuel in
the carburetor. Fuel comes from the tank to the float chamber. There is a hollowfloat provided with a needle. With the level of the fuel going down, the float with
the needle also goes down allowing the fuel to come into the float chamber from
the fuel tank. As the fuel level goes up, the needle closes the passage and the fuel
does not come in the float chamber. Thus a constant level in float chamber is always
maintained.
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
50/140
Page 50
III. Throttle. It is a butterfly valve between the mixing chamber of the carburetor and
the inlet manifold of the engine to regulate the quantity of charge. It may be
operated by a hand lever, a foot lever or a governor.
IV. Choke. It is a device for restricting the air supply, in the carburetor. With restriction
of air supply, the mixture becomes richer which helps in starting the engine easily. Itis a type of butterfly valved in the air passage of the carburetor unit.
V. Main jet. It is a small opening of exact size through which fuel passes from the float
chamber to the throat of the carburetor in form of spray. The jet may be of fixed
type or adjustable type. Small stationary single or multicylinder engines are usually
equipped with fixed type of jet, whereas large size tractor engines are equipped with
adjustable type of jet.
VI. Idling jet. It is a special type of jet which supplies fuel at idling speed or low speed of
the engine. It usually consists of a passage which goes to the air stream at the end of
the butterfly. The opening is on the manifold side of the butterfly. When the
butterfly valve is closed, the sucking force in the manifold pulls the necessary idling
fuel from the idling jet.
VII. Compensating jet. Whet main jet supplies richer mixture at higher speed the
compensating jet supplies leaner mixture at that speed. This helps the mixture to
maintain correct proportion of air-fuel at different loads and speeds. There is an
accelerating well through which the jet gets the fuel.
VIII. Economizer. It is a device for regulating the fuel supply in the main jet. The
difference of air pressure at the air intake and above the throttle, affects the
movement of the piston.
METHOD OF MOUNTING CARBURETOR ON ENGINE
On the basis of ways of mounting the carburetor on the engine body, carburetor may be
divided into two classes:
1.Downdraft carburetor.
It is mounted above the intake manifold of the engine, so that the air enters the upper
part of the carburetor and the mixture flows downward into the manifold. Downdraftcarburetors are used mostly on automobiles, trucks and stationary engines,
2. Updraft carburetor.
It is mounted below or beside the engine block and the mixture flows upward into the
engine.

Fuel pump for carburetor engine
It is also called gasoline pump. It is a diaphragm type pump. It consists of (1) body, (2) cover
and (3) lead. The pump body accommodates pivoted rocker arm with its return spring and has a
priming lever. Flexible diaphragm is made of varnished or rubberized cloth. Plates connect the
diaphragm to spindle whose lower end is linked with inner end of the rocker arm,. Under the
diaphragm there is a pressure spring. The pump is driven from an eccentric or a special fuel
pump lobe on the engine camshaft. As the camshaft rotates, the eccentric pushes against the
outer end of the rocker arm forcing the arm to pivot on its pin. Operation of diaphragm creates
a vacuum in the chamber above the diaphragm which, opens inlet valve and makes petrol flow
from the fuel tank through the fuel line and filter.
Precautions in handling carburetors
1) The carburetor should be serviced by wiping it clean, checking the mounting, eliminating
fuel leaks, draining the sludge from the float chamber and washing the filter.
2) Carburetor components should always be washed in clean gasoline. Care should be
taken not to damage the gasket, while opening or closing the carburetor.
3) Jets should always be blown with compressed air only Never use wire or any other
metallic object to clean the jets and passage.
4) Check the carburetor and do setting of the jet at regular interval for satisfactory
performance of the engine.
FUEL SYSTEM OF DIESEL ENGINE
Fuel system of diesel engine consists of the following components Fuel tank
1. Fuel lift pump or feed pump
2. Fuel filter
3. Fuel injection pump
5. High pressure pipe
6. Over flow valve
7. Fuel Injector (Injection nozzles)
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
52/140
Page 52
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by the Feed pump (Fig. 5.8] and forced to the Injection
pump through Fuel filter. The Injection pump supplies high pressure filet to injection nozzlesthrough delivery valves and high pressure pipes. Fuel is injected into the Combustion chamber
through Injection nozzles. The fuel that leaks out from the injection nozzles passes out through
leakage pipe and returns to the.Fuel tank through the over flow pipe.
Overflow valve installed at the top of the filter, keeps the feed pressure under specified
limit. If the feed pressure exceeds the specified limit, the overflow valve opens and then the
excessive fuel returns to fuel tank through overflow pipe.
General lay out of fuel supply in diesel engine
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify

Page 53
1. Fuel Tank
It is a storage tank of suitable size and shape, usually made of mild steel sheet. Atmospheric
pressure is maintained in the tank with the help of a pin hole on the cap. Usually a wire gauge
strainer is provided under the cap to prevent foreign particles. Usually a drain plug is provided
at the bottom for flow of fuel.
2. Fuel Lift Pump (Feed pump or Transfer pump)
Fuel lift pump may be
(i) Plunger type,
(ii) Diaphragm
Plunger TypeIt may be single acting or double acting pump usually mounted on the side of the
Injection pump housing. It is driven by injection pump camshaft.
It transfers fuel from the fuel tank to the inlet gallery of the Injection pump through
fuel filter, the fuel pressure at the feed pump must be in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 kg/cm2, It
delivers adequate amount of fuel to the injection pump. The pump consists ofi) Body, (ii) piston, (iii) inlet valve, (iv) Pressure valve
The valves are tightly pressed against their seats by springs. The piston is free to slide in the
bore.
The fuel contained in the space below the piston is forced to flow through filter to the
injection pump. At the same time, downward movement of the piston creates a depression in
the space above the piston, which causes the fuel to be drawn in the transfer pump from the
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify

Page 54
fuel tank through inlet valve and filter. When starting the engine and venting any possible air,
the priming pump provides manual pump operation also.
Diaphragm type FeedPump
It consists of:I. Main body 2. Diaphragm
3. Spring 4. Rocker arm
5. Inlet and outlet valve 6. Sediment bowl
Suction is created in the main chamber of the pump by pulling down the diaphragm. The
fuel is sucked through the inlet valve. During this period, outlet check valve remains closed.
When there is no pressure of the cam on the rocker arm of the pump, it returns its original
position due to the tension of the return spring.
Upper movement of the diaphragm creates a pushing effect on the fuel, which has entered
the chamber during its downward movement, under the pressure of the fuel, outlet valve
opens and the fuel is pumped through outlet chamber. Thus the fuel flows from the tank to
Fuel Injection pump.
Preliminary filter (Sediment bowl assembly)This filter is mostly fitted on the fuel lift pump. It prevents dust and foreign materials from
reaching inside the fuel line. It usually consists of a glass cap with gasket. Heavy dust particles
settle at the bottom and clean fuel flows ahead.
Fuel filterMostly two stage filters are used in diesel engines:
1. Primary 2. Secondary
1. Primary filter removes coarse material, water and dust.
2. Secondary filter removes fine dust particles.
Filters are made of different materials like:
(a )Metal element
(b)Felt and cloth element
(c ) Paper disc
(d)Metal element consists of porous metal filter elements.
(e ) Felt & cloth element is a cloth of special weaving, which facilitates easy filtration.

(f ) Paper disc type filtering element is enclosed in a metal case, which can be replaced
easily after being clogged.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP
It is a high pressure pump, which supplies fuel to the injectors according to the firing orderof the engine. It is used to create pressure
Varying from 120 kg/cm2to 300 kg/cm
2. It supplies metered quantity of fuel to each cylinder at
appropriate time.
Fuel Injection pump is usually of two types:
1. Multi element pump
2. Distributor (Rotary) type pump
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
56/140
Page 56
1) Multi element pump.
Each fuel pump unit consists of the following components:
(a) Plunger and barrel (b)Camshaft
(c) Delivery valve (d)Fuel control valve
Plunger and Barrel
Each pump element consists of
1. Plunger
2. Barrel
The plunger has helical groove. The rotation of the plunger changes the position of its
helical groove with respect to the barrel port. The fuel enters the barrel through these ports.
Control rod of the pump governs the movement of plunger. This control rod is connected to the
governor by a linkage. Locking screw controls the length of stroke of the plunger. Calibration is
necessary in such cases.
Working of plungerWhen the plunger is at BDC, the barrel is occupied by the fuel which has entered through
the barrel ports either under the force of gravity or from a fuel pump. As the plunger rises, the
fuel is pushed back through the barrel ports until they are closed by the top of the plunger
position. The effective stroke of the plunger begins at this point. Further upward movement
forces the fuel through the delivery valve, causing it to lift up from its seat. The fuel then enters
the pipe, connecting the pump to injector. A corresponding amount of fuel leaves it at the other
end and enters the cylinder through the injector.
This action continues until the plunger reaches a position when the lower edge of the
control helix uncovers the barrel ports allowing the fuel to pass out via the vertical slot in the
plunger.
8/11/2019 Industrial Training Report Modify
57/140
Page 57
By rotating the plunger, the effective stroke can be shortened or lengthened depending
upon which part of the helix is in line with the barrel port, through which the fuel escapes at
the end of stroke. Thus the quantity of fuel, injected into the cylinder can be varied.
Camshaft
The camshaft of a fuel pump is timed with the crankshaft and operates the figake4and
exhaust valves. It also operates the plunger at the correct sequence according to the firing
order of the the engine.
The fuel from tank passes through filters and flows to Fuel injection pump and fr
