Kawasaki KIPS. Kawasaki uses a power-valve system called KIPS (Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System) on their two-stroke bikes. The KIPS utilizes both alterations in port height, closing of the secondary port ducting, and a resonant chamber. KIPS is operated by a mechanical governor on single cylinder machines.
A two-stroke diesel engine is a diesel engine that uses compression ignition in a two-stroke combustion cycle. It was invented by Hugo Güldner in 1899. [1] In compression ignition, air is first compressed and heated; fuel is then injected into the cylinder, causing it to self-ignite. This delivers a power stroke each time the piston rises and ...
The Detroit Diesel Series 71 is a two-stroke diesel engine series, available in both inline and V configurations, manufactured by Detroit Diesel. The number 71 refers to the nominal displacement per cylinder in cubic inches, a rounding off of 70.93 cu in (1.2 L). Inline models included one, two, three, four and six cylinders, and the V-types ...
A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft. (A four-stroke engine requires four strokes of the piston to complete a power cycle, in two crankshaft revolutions.)
Cross-sectional schematic. A carburetor (also spelled carburettor or carburetter) [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] is a device used by a gasoline internal combustion engine to control and mix air and fuel entering the engine. [ 4 ] The primary method of adding fuel to the intake air is through the Venturi tube in the main metering circuit, though various other ...
Crankcase ventilation system. A crankcase ventilation system (CVS) removes unwanted gases from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The system usually consists of a tube, a one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have leaked past ...
In crankcase scavenged 2-stroke engines, exhaust and intake are performed mostly simultaneously and with the combustion chamber at its maximum volume. The main advantage of 2-stroke engines of this type is mechanical simplicity and a higher power-to-weight ratio than their 4-stroke counterparts. Despite having twice as many power strokes per ...
The Fairbanks-Morse 38 8-1/8 is a diesel engine of the two-stroke, opposed-piston type. [ 1 ] It was developed in the 1930s, and is similar in arrangement to a contemporary series of German Bombers aircraft diesels. [ 2 ] The engine was used extensively in US diesel electric submarines of the 1940s and 1950s, as backup power on most US nuclear ...
