CARBURETOR
A device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine.
A carburetor (American and Canadian spelling), carburator, carburettor, or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling).
Carburetors have largely been supplanted in the automotive and, to a lesser extent, aviation industries by fuel injection. They are still common on small engines for lawn mowers, rototillers, and other equipment.
The word carburetor comes from the French carbure meaning "carbide" Carburer means to combine with carbon (compare also carburizing). In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fluid by mixing it with a volatile hydrocarbon.
- HISTORY
- INVENTOR/discoverer
The first carburetor was invented by Samuel Morey in 1826.
Another carburetor was developed by Enrico Bernardi at the University of Padua in 1882, for hisMotrice Pia, the first petrol combustion engine (one cylinder, 121.6 cc) prototyped on 5 August 1882.
In 1885, Wilhelm Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler developed a float carburetor for their engine based on the atomizer nozzle
- ELEMENT COMPOSITION
- aluminum alloys
- A carburetor contains many parts working together to facilitate its core function. The main structure and largest component of the carburetor is the molded body made from a lightweight alloy or aluminum. The stationary body is under little stress and pressure, therefore, stronger metals are unnecessary.
- GOOD/BAD EFFECTS
- Deliver the correct amount of fuel to keep the fuel/air mixture in the proper range (adjusting for factors such as temperature)
- Mix the two finely and evenly
- Cold start
- Hot start
- Idling or slow-running
- Acceleration
- High speed / high power at full throttle
- Cruising at part throttle (light load)
