ABSTRACT

A two-stroke engine complete with a scavenging system, operating with

external pumping mechanism is being developed. The engine comprises of two pair

of combustion chambers and a pair of piston pumps that are integrated onto the

Scotch-Yoke crank mechanism. The Schnurle type loop scavenging arrangement was

selected for the scavenging arrangement for the engine port design. The pump was to

be driven by the engine’s pistons linkages. The significant advantages of this

opposed piston-driven pump concept is the double action of air pumping at every

180° interval of crankshaft revolution. In addition, extensive work using

Computational Fluid Dynamic code simulation tools were applied throughout the

project to ensure that the scavenging port geometry is optimized. Also developed was

a scavenging test rig specifically to verify the simulation results. The unfired tracer

gas sampling method was developed for the scavenging measurement purposes. The

experimental testing was carried out successfully with the use of instrumentations

such as Dewetron High Speed Data Acquisition and crank encoder. Both the

simulation results and experimental results showed good scavenging characteristic,

where the scavenging efficiency is closed to the perfect mixing scavenging model.

The development of the scavenging system will allow for the reduction of the

pollutant emission, and the overcome short-circuiting problem of the two-stroke

engine.

ABSTRAK

Rekabentuk enjin dua lejang telah dibangunakan dengan sistem hapus-sisa

lengkap, di mana ia beroperasi dengan pengepaman udara dari luar. Rekabentuk

enjin ini adalah berpandukan mekanisme Scotch-Yoke yang beroperasi dengan dua

pasang kebuk pembakaran dan sepasang pemampat piston. Susunan sistem hapus-

sisa jenis “Schnurle” telah dipilih untuk mereka pembukaan udara dalam enjin. Pam

ini dipandu secara terus oleh penyambungan omboh yang bersalingan. Kelebihan

mekanisme yang ketara ialah ia dapat menghasilkan dua kali kerja pengepaman pada

setiap 180° putaran aci engkol. Tambahan lagi, kajian yang mendalam pada bahagian

penukaran udara telah dijalankan dengan kod program computer Computational

Fluid Dynamic untuk memastikan rekabentuk pembukaan udara dalam keadaan yang

memuaskan. Sementara itu, rangka uji-kaji sistem hapus-sisa telah dibangunkan

untuk mengesahkan nilai keputusan daripada simulasi komputer. Teknik

pengambilan jenis gas dalam keadaan tanpa bakar, telah dijalankan dengan

kelengkapan alat pengukuran seperti Dewetron High Speed Data Acquisition dan

pengecod engkol. Kedua-dua keputusan daripada simulasi komputer dan ujikaji telah

menunjukkan kecekapan hapus-sisa dalam keadaan yang baik, di mana nilainya

adalah menghampiri model hapus-sisa yang sempurna. Pembangunan sistem hapus-

sisa ini telah menjamin keberkesanannya dalam mengurangkan hasil kotoran

daripadan pembakaran dalam enjin dan juga menyelesaikan masalah short-circuiting

rekabentuk enjin jenis dua lejang.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Preface

The emphasis of the research project is to design a scavenging system for a

newly conceptualized small capacity (500 cc), multi-cylinder, two-stroke engine

based on the Scotch-Yoke mechanism. The research work on the Scotch-Yoke engine

concept was attempted by CMC SYTECH Corp. of Australia [2] and was proven to

have several advantages i.e. small size, perfect balance, reduction of the engine

weight compare to the conventional reciprocating engine of a same displacement.

The scavenging process in the two-stroke cycle engine has direct influent on

the performance of their combustion processes and remains one of the fundamental

important strategies towards improvement of fuel utilization efficiency and the

reduction of pollutant.

Several CFD simulation analyses have been done to characterize the

scavenging process for the port geometry optimization. In addition, an unfired test

rig for scavenging system measurement has been developed in conjunction with this

research work.

1.2 Objectives

The objectives of the research project are:

i. To design an external scavenging system of a two stroke Scotch-Yoke multi-

cylinder engine

ii. To develop a scavenging system test rig to optimize the scavenging process.

iii. To reduce fresh charge short-circuiting problem in the two-stroke engine.

1.3 Statement of Problem

Scavenging process is required in two-stroke engines in assuring the

appropriateness of combustion. However it will also result in the short-circuiting of

fresh charge (flow directly from the engine’s transfer to the exhaust port). The short-

circuiting phenomenon is responsible for the low fuel economy/efficiency and high-

unburned hydrocarbons emission.

1.4 Hypothesis

An external scavenging system is required to retrofit the small capacity multi-

cylinder, two-stroke horizontally opposed Scotch-Yoke engine to improve its

scavenging efficiency and overcome the mixture short-circuiting problem.

advancements of two-stroke technologies such as the scavenging systems and

Scotch-Yoke engine design itself. The previous technical references which are

published in the reputable journals such as Engineering Society for Advancing

mobility Land Sea, Air and Space (SAE) Technical Paper Series, will assist the author

in providing new research methods for the scavenging system development. Besides,

there are several books and publications on two-stroke engines which will provide

first hand knowledge on approaches to engine design and analysis.

1.6.2 Design Concept

With the knowledge obtained from literature study, a design concept of an

external scavenging system which is suited to the design of Scotch-Yoke mechanism,

as well as piston pumps design will be proposed. The loop scavenging arrangement,

which is suitable for small capacity gasoline type two-stroke engine, will then be

applied for the scavenging port geometry design work.

1.6.3 CAD Solid Drawings

It is in the opinion of the author that Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

software, (e.g. SolidWorks 2004) is suitable tool to enable engine parts be designed

and eventually developed. The specification of the engine parts will be shown in

intricate details in finalizing engineering drawings.

1.6.4 CFD Simulations

The Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation work is an important

approach to predict the characteristic of the gas exchange processes particularly

during the scavenging process. The design of the porting will be improved through

the analysis of a series of simulation results.

1.6.5 Development of an Unfired Scavenging System Test Rig

The fabrication works of the unfired scavenging system test rig was done

with the assistance of a local engineering company. Prior to this, the engine

components detail drawings are prepared for the fabrication works. However, the

assembly of the components into a complete unit was not made by the said company,

but was made by the author in UTM, specifically at the Automotive Development

Center (ADC).

After the engine model was completely assembled, it was simulated for

motion analysis using a specially designed motorized control system. The

instrumentations for the scavenging measurement were installed at the engine model.

A technique call gas sampling method was applied to evaluate for the engine’s

overall scavenging system efficiency.
