In a reciprocating engine, the use of water injection, also called anti-detonation injection or ADI, is used to prevent engine knocking also known as "detonation". [3] Commonly found on large radial engines with pressure carburetors , it is a mixture of water and alcohol injected into the carburetor at high power settings.
Allis-Chalmers (and Buda) produced heavy-duty engine designs that were built to handle a variety of fuel types (generally gasoline, diesel fuel, or liquefied propane gas). The types of fuel each engine could burn are listed where appropriate; further information on fuel types for each engine can be found in the individual engine articles.
The "Anti-Detonant Injection" (ADI) system injected a mixture of water and methanol into the carburetor to increase power for short periods. Several models of the R-2800s were fitted with ADI as standard equipment and were not given the W suffix. [nb 2] Few commercial aircraft used water injection. "A" Series: R-2800-1
The plow has a vertical wedge to push the snow horizontally away from the track. The vertical wedge may be less acute than the horizontal wedge, but often included a cast or sheet metal cutting edge on wooden plows. Pushing snow horizontally off the track may create an unbalanced horizontal force where asymmetrical snow accumulation is encountered.
The engine employs a simple thrust vectoring system that uses four swiveling nozzles, giving the Harrier thrust both for lift and forward propulsion, allowing for STOVL flight. Combustion system is an annular combustor with ASM low-pressure vaporising burners. [7] Engine starting was by a top-mounted packaged combined gas turbine starter/APU. [7]
From the degassing drum water passed to the injection filters. [3] Water was filtered in the water injection filters, one duty and one on standby/backwash. From the filters water was routed to the water injection pumps. The three water injection pumps each had a capacity of 221 m 3 /hr with a differential head of 2068.5 metres (209 bar). The ...
