Air conditioning

Automotive air conditioning is done to control the temperature, humidity, purity of the atmospheric of the air and circulate the same in the automobile to make the journey of passengers comfortable so that they Should not feel too much cold in winter and too hot in summers. Earliest, most of cars were having the cooling provision only as shown in Figure. It consists of refrigeration system, an air circulation and distribution system and a control system as shown in the layout. It includes the compressor, condensor, dehydrator and connecting lines in addition to expansion valve, orifice tube, suction throttle valve and high pressure cut off  switch. The commonly used refrigerant is freon 12 .


The compressor driven by a belt from the engine pulley through an electromagnetic clutch sucks the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant vapour from the evaporator ad compresses it to high temperature and high pressure vapor. Then it is discharged to the condenser Air is caused to flow across the condenser while driving or by the action of the engine fan or a electric fan. Cooling of the refrigerant vapor covers it into liquid at high pressure This liquid is ten stored in the receiver from where, it is passed through dehydrator to extract any moisture the Then the dry refrigerant liquid is passed through the expansion valve mounted at the net side of the evaporator The expansion valve allows the liquid refrigerant to expand to low pressure the evaporator. A sensing device called temperature tube signals the diaphragm in the expansion in valve its e size depending upon the refrigerant at the outlet, temperature evaporator to vary This helps in achieving automatic temperature control.
Air from the blower is forced to low over the evaporator coils Which removes the latent heat of vaporisation moisture and impurities from the air. Condensed moisture from the evaporator and impurities dip into a tray from where they are drained out. The automatic temperature control or manual control system uses the same refrigeration and air during circulation.
In winter season for heating the air, the hot water of the engine is circulated through the pipe coils or through the independent small med under the radiator cooling col. Air is forced by the blower through these coils. The warm air is distributed through the grills in the car. At the time of heating cooling is stopped.

Common Rail Type Fuel Injection System

  Electronic control common rail type fuel injection system drives an integrated fuel pump at an ultrahigh pressure to distribute fuel to each injector per cylinder through a common rail.   This enables optimum combustion to generate big horsepower, and reduce PM* (diesel plume) and fuel consumption. Bosch will supply the complete common-rail injection system for the high-performance 12-cylinder engine introduced by Peugeot Sport for its latest racing car. The system comprises high-pressure pumps, a fuel rail shared by all cylinders (i.e. a common rail), piezo in-line injectors, and the central control unit which compiles and processes all relevant sensor data.

Turbocharger

  A turbocharger is actually a type of supercharger. Originally, the turbocharger was called a "turbo super charger." Obviously, the name was shortened out of convenience. A turbocharger’s purpose is to compress the oxygen entering a car’s engine, increasing the amount of oxygen that enters and thereby increasing the power output. Unlike the belt-driven supercharger that is normally thought of when one hears the word "supercharger," the turbocharger is powered by the car’s own exhaust gases. In other words, a turbocharger takes a by-product of the engine that would otherwise be useless, and uses it to increase the car’s horsepower. Cars without a turbocharger or supercharger are called normally aspirated . Normally aspirated cars draw air into the engine through an air filter; the air then passes through a meter, which monitors and regulates the amount of air that enters the system. The air is then delivered to the engine’s comb...

Different types of Casting Process

1) Investment casting 2) Permanent mold casting 3) Centrifugal casting 4) Continuous casting 5) Sand casting Investment casting Investment casting (known as lost-wax casting in art) is a process that has been practiced for thousands of years, with lost wax process being one of the oldest known metal forming techniques. From 5000 years ago, when bees wax formed the pattern, to today’s high technology waxes, refractory materials and specialist alloys, the castings ensure high quality components are produced with the key benefits of accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity. Investment casting derives its name from the fact that the pattern is invested, or surrounded, with a refractory material. The wax patterns require extreme care for they are not strong enough to withstand forces encountered during the mold making. One advantage of investment casting it that the wax can be reused. The process is suitable for repeatable ...
