The process of formation of a combustiblefuel-air mixture by mixing the properamount of fuel with air before it is admittedinto the engine cylinder.
Comes from the words car and burettebecause the carburetor meters theappropriate quantity of liquid fuel (like a
burette) and mixed it with air beforesending the mixture into the enginecylinder.

Carburetor size is stated in CFM (cubic feet of air per
minute).
This is the amount of air that can flow through thecarburetor at wide, open throttle.
CFM is an indication of the maximum air flow
capacity. Usually, small CFM carburetors are more
fuel-efficient than larger carburetors. Air velocity, fuelmixing, and atomization are better with small throttle
bores. A larger CFM rating is desirable for high enginepower output

This disc-shaped valve
controls air flow through
the air horn.
When closed, it restricts
the flow of air and fuel into
the engine, and when
opened, air flow, fuel flow,and engine power increase.

Venturi
Venturi works on high-low pressure.
As the air speeds up when passing through the air horn(venturi), itcreates vacuum, causing suction to pull fuel from the discharge tube.

Engine induction and fuel system mustprepare a fuel-air mixture that satisfiesthe requirements of the engine over itsentire operating regime.
Optimum air-fuel ratio for an SI engine isthat which gives
1. Required power output2. Lowers fuel consumption, and3. Consistent with smooth and reliable
operation

The constraints of emissions maydictate a different air-fuel ratio andalso require recycling some exhaust gas.(EGR)
Relative proportions of fuel and air that givethe above requirements depend on enginespeed and load.
Mixture strength is given in terms of air-fuel or
fuel-air ratio or equivalence ratio.

Mixture requirements are different for fullload (wide-open throttle or WOT) and forpart-load operation.
At full load, complete utilization ofinducted
air to obtain maximum power for a givendisplaced volume is the critical issue.At part-load at a given speed, efficient
utilization offuel is the critical issue.
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation
20/107
At part-load (or part-throttle) it is advantageous to dilutethe fuel-air mixture with excess air or with recycledexhaust gas. This dilution improves fuel conversionefficiency for three reasons:
1. The expansion stroke work is increased for a givenexpansion ratio due to the change in thermodynamicproperties,
2. For a given mean effective pressure, the intake pressureincreases with increasing dilution, so pumping workdecreases,
3. Heat losses to the walls are reduced because the burnedgas temperatures are lower.
In the absence of strict NOx emission control, excess airis the obvious diluent at part load and the engine runslean

The float system (fig. 4-20) maintains a steady working
supply of gasoline at a constant level in the carburetor.
This action is critical to the proper operation of the
carburetor. Since the carburetor uses differences in
pressure to force fuel into the air horn,
The float system keeps the fuel pump from forcing toomuch gasoline into the carburetor bowl
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation

An excessively high float levelwill cause fuel to flow
too freely from the discharge tube, causing an overly
rich mixture
whereas an excessively low float level will cause anoverly lean mixtureThe basic parts of the float system are thefuel bowl, the float, the needle valve, theneedle seat, the bowl vent
-

Idle system
Feeds fuel into air horn when thethrottle is closed (low enginespeed).
High vacuum below the throttleplate pulls fuel from the idle port.
Idle mixture screw allowsadjustment of fuel at idle.
Air bleed helps premix air and fuel.
-

Off idle system feeds fuel to the engine when the throttle is opened slightly.
It adds a little extra fuel to the extra air flowing around throttle valve
-

The off idle, also known as the part throttle, feedsmore fuel into the air horn when the throttle plate ispartially open. It is an extension of the idle system. Itfunctions above approximately 800 rpm or 20 mph.
Without the off idle system, the fuel mixture wouldbecome too lean slightly above idle. The idle systemalone is not capable of supplying enough fuel to theair stream passing through the carburetor. The off idlesystem helps supply fuel during the change from idle
to high speed.
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation

The, high-speed system, also called the mainmetering system, supplies the engine air-fuelmixture at normal cruising speeds.
This system begins to function when the throttle
plate is opened wide enough for the venturi action.Air flow through the carburetor must be relativelyhigh for venturi vacuum to draw fuel out of themain discharge tube.
The high-speed system provides the leanest, mostfuel efficient air-fuel ratio. It functions from about20 to 55 mph or 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation
32/107
The carburetor acceleration system, like the off idle system,provides extra fuel when changing from the idle system tothe high-speed system. The acceleration system squirts astream of fuel into the air horn when the fuel pedal ispressed and the throttle plates swing open.
Without the acceleration system, too much fuel would rushinto the engine, as the throttle quickly opened. The mixturewould become too lean for combustion and the enginewould stallor hesitate. The acceleration system prevents alean air-fuel mixture from upsetting a smooth increase inengine speed.
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation
33/107
Acceleration System
Accelerator pump squirts fuel into theair horn every time the throttle is opened.
This adds fuel to the rush of air enteringthe engine and prevents a temporary
lean mixture.
Pump check ball allows fuel to onlyenter the pump reservoir.
Pump check weight prevents the fuelbeing drawn into the air horn by theventuri vacuum.

High speed system (cruising speed)
The main jet controls the fuel flow andmixture.
At higher engine speeds, there is enoughair flow through the venturi to producevacuum.
This pulls fuel through the maindischarge.

Choke System
When the engine is cold thethermostatic springcloses the choke.
High vacuum below the choke pulls largeamounts of fuel out of the main discharge.
When the engine warms the hot air opensthe spring
Some chokes are electrically operated.
-
8/3/2019 SI Engine Mixture Preparation
36/107
When the engine is cold, the fuel tends to condenseinto large drops in the manifold, rather thanvaporizing. By supplying a richer mixture (8:1 to
9:1), there will be enough vapor to assure completecombustion.The carburetor is fitted with a choke system toprovide this richer mixture.The choke system provides a very rich mixture to startthe engine and to make the mixture less richgradually, as the engine reaches operatingtemperature. The two types of choke systems are themanual and automatic

The full-power system provides a means of enriching the
fuel mixture for high-speed, high-power conditions.
This system operates, for example, when the driver
presses the fuel pedal to pass another vehicle or to
climb a steep hill.
The full-power system is an addition to the high-speed
system. Either a metering rod or a power valve (jet) can
be used to provide variable, high-speed air-fuel ratio.

As atmospheric pressure increases, the amount of airmolecules present over the liquid also increases. The
increased presence of air molecules will slow the rate
of evaporation. This is because the molecules of liquid
will have more air molecules to collide with. In many
cases, they will fall back into the liquid after thecollision

The term volatility refers to how fast a liquidvaporizes. Some liquid vaporizes easily at room
temperature. Alcohol, for instance, vaporizes more
easily than water. A highly volatile liquid is one that
is considered to evaporate easily.

Atomization is the process of
breaking up a liquid into tiny
particles or droplets.
When a liquid is atomized, the
droplets are all exposedindividually to the air.
For this reason, atomization
greatly increases evaporation by
increasing the exposed surface areaof the liquid.
