LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Purpose of lubrication system
Minimizing wear and power loss from friction
Types of friction
Dry friction, greasy friction, Viscous friction
Removing heat from engine parts such as piston
Absorbing shocks between bearings and other engine parts
Forming a seal between piston rings and cylinder walls
Acting as a cleaning agent
Reduction of noise
Cools best when oil is thin but seals best when it is thick

TYPES OF LUBRICATION SYSTEMS
4
ME 423T AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING
MIST LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Used in Two stroke engines
Lubricating oil is added to the fuel tank
A fuel/oil ratio of 40 to 50 :1 is optimum
Sensitive to fuel - oil combination
Influences internal corrosion, bearing life, ring sticking, combustion chamber
deposits, spark plug fouling, exhaust smoke
Advantages :
Simplicity, low cost
Disadvantages :
Heavy emissions and carbon deposits
Losing of anti corrosion properties due to contact with acidic vapors
Mixing of oil and fuel
Starvation of oil
High oil consumption, 5 to 15% more than 4 stroke engines
No control and over - oiled

DRY SUMP LUBRICATION SYSTEM
In a wet sump, turning, braking and acceleration can cause the oil to
pool on one side of the engine.
At least two oil pumps in a dry sump -- one pulls oil from the sump
and sends it to the tank, and the other takes oil from the tank and
sends it to lubricate the engine.
Can lower the center of gravity and can also help aerodynamics
The oil capacity of a dry sump can be increased
The tank holding the oil can be placed anywhere on the vehicle.

PROPERTIES OF OIL
Viscosity- Measure of resistance to flow
Body and fluidity
Body : do with the resistance to oil film puncture during heavy load
Prevents squeezing out the oil film
Cushions shock loads, provide good seal
Fluidity : do with the ease with which oil flows through oil lines
Body and fluidity are opposing characteristics
Body and fluidity changes with temperature
Adequate fluidity at low temperature
Sufficient body at high temperature
Viscosity index Variation of viscosity with temperature
Cloud and pour point
Flash point- safety
Resistance to carbon formation High temperature cause oil to break down or
burn producing Carbon
piston rings sticking poor compression, blow by, high oil consumption
piston head & cylinder head increases compression - knocking
Piston underside over heating of piston
39
Oil pan- Oil channel clogging, spark plug fouling.
ME 423T AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING
Oxidation stability- Oil on oxidation breaks down to harmful substances-
-Oxidation products coat engine parts with an extremely sticky tarlike
material
Clog oil channels
Oil oxidation produce corrosive materials which corrodes bearing and other
surfaces.
Foaming resistance- Foaming oil will not be able to provide normal lubrication,
lost through crank case ventilator
Corrosion Acid formation - Corrosion and rust inhibitors- Displace water from
metal surfaces, alkaline reaction neutralizes acids - Neutralization number
Detergents- Loosens and detach the carbon deposits
Dispersants- Prevent the particles from clotting, keep them finely divided.

IGNITION SYSTEMS
Ignition is the prerequisite of the Combustion
Energy is supplied from an external source.
Break down voltage ( depends on spark plug gap & pressure)
Ignition has no degree
The high temperature plasma kernel created by the spark developes
into a self sustaining and propagating flame front
The ignition process must add necessary energy for starting and
sustaining burning of the fuel till combustion takes place.
Rate of supply of energy is important
195
ME 423T AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING
BASIC REQUIREMENT OF A SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM
The duration of the spark must be long enough with sufficient energy to
ensure that ignition of the mixture has a high chance of occurring
The system must distribute this high voltage to each of the spark plugs at
the exact time in every cycle.

Heat Ranges of Plugs
The difference between a "hot" and a "cold" spark plug is in the shape of the ceramtip.
The carmaker will select the right-temperature plug for each car.
Some cars with high-performance engines naturally generate more heat, so
they need colder plugs.
If the spark plug gets too hot, it could ignite the fuel before the spark fires; so it
is important to stick with the right type of plug for your car.
Operating temperature is 500C 850C.
At low temperature Plug fouling Hot plug (to be used)
At high temperature Pre ignition cold plug(to be used)

ELECTRONIC INJECTION SYSTEM
Electronic systems have two circuits: a primary circuit and a secondary
circuit.
Electronic ignition systems differ from conventional ignition systems in
the distributor component area.
Instead of a distributor cam, breaker plate, points, and condenser, an
electronic ignition system has an armature (called by various names
such as a trigger wheel, reluctor, etc.), a pickup coil (stator, sensor, etc.),
and an electronic control module.
With the ignition switch turned on, primary (battery) current flows from
the battery through the ignition switch to the coil primary windings.
Primary current is turned on and off by the action of the armature as it
revolves past the pickup coil or sensor.
As each tooth of the armature nears the pickup coil, it creates a voltage
that signals the electronic module to turn off the coil primary current.
A timing circuit in the module will turn the current on again after the coil
field has collapsed.
When the current is off, however, the magnetic field built up in the coil is
allowed to collapse, which causes a high voltage in the secondary
windings of the coil.

PROGRAMMED ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Ignition timing are adjusted based on load and engine speed .
Ignition timing or advance angle as determined by ECU is sum of three
components
Initial advance for starting the engine
Basic advance determined from map depending on manifold
pressure and speed
Correction advance Knock control, engine temperature
With the firing point established, the module switches off the ignition coil
primary circuit, the magnetic field in the coil collapses and the high
tension voltage is created.
At precisely the right instant the ESC II module switches the coil primary
circuit back on and the cycle is repeated for each cylinder in turn.

Digital Twin Spark Plug Ignition (DTSi)
2 spark plugs in the single cylinder
engine and the timing of sparkplugs
are controlled by a digital
microprocessor.
The 2 spark plug set up leads to better
burning of the air fuel mixture, which
results in delivering better fuel
efficiency without any compromise in
power.
