Page 31 - ... had been in use sixty hours ; but it had proved quite sufficient for the other parts of the engine to be cleaned once a month. The diagram would show that ignition took place at the dead point. Instantaneous ignition at the right time was obtained in the following manner : — The feed-pump injected oil into the valve a before the downstroke of the piston, or just before the period of suction commenced. On the downstroke of the piston, the space in the interior of the cylinder was enlarged, causing...
Page 31 - ... spraying-valve a was met by the incoming air and sprayed into the vaporizer c ; coming into contact with the cherry-red walls of the latter, it was instantaneously vaporized, and admitted immediately into the cylinder in which the suction took place. The vaporized petroleum issued from the vaporizer long before the end of the period of suction, whereas the air was admitted by the valve a into the vaporizer as long as the process of suction continued. Consequently, when the period of suction was...
Page 3 - On the other hand, engineers in Sweden and America adhered to a lower compression and utilised a hot combustion chamber in direct communication with the cylinder to enable ignition to take place.

Page 31 - ... upper part of the combustion-chamber was likewise full of air. This column of air formed an insulator. It prevented the inflammable mixture from coming in contact with the cherry-red walls of the vaporizer; and, by the up-stroke of the piston, by which the insulating column of air was also compressed, the inflammable mixture moved upwards until, at the dead point of the piston, it reached the interior of Mr.
