Modification of carburetor

Carbureted 2-stroke engines are a worldwide pandemic. There are over 50 million 2-stroke cycle engines in Asia alone, powering motorbikes, mopeds, three-wheelers , auto-rickshaws , tuk-tuks , and tricycles . These carbureted 2-stroke engines are characterized by high levels of hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions. Direct injection is a technology that has shown a great ability to reduce these emissions while at the same time improves fuel economy. A prototype kit has been designed for use in retrofitting existing carbureted two-stroke engines to direct injection. The design involved replacing the existing cylinder head with one designed to incorporate the direct injection valves as well as a modified combustion chamber. An external compressor was added to supply compressed air to the system. The carburetor was replaced with a throttle body outfitted with a position indicator, and an encoder system was added to provide speed and position feedback to the engine control unit (ECU). Once design and manufacture of the system was complete, it was installed on the motorcycle. The motorcycle was then mounted in a low inertia eddy current dynamometer test cell for calibration. Calibration was done on the dynamometer for power and engine performance. The system was also tuned in real world road tests for drivability. When calibrations were complete emissions and fuel consumption measurements were taken for the vehicle. The results showed an 88% reduction in hydrocarbon emissions and a 72% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions versus the baseline engine, while at the same time virtually eliminating visible smoke. The retrofitted system also showed a 32% increase in fuel economy, and had similar to better performance than the carbureted engine. The retrofitted system also showed improved cranking and idling characteristics over the carbureted engine.
This project aims to maximize efficiency of petrol engine by modifying carburetor in design and functioning principle , actually carburetor is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine.

Carburetor Principle

The carburetor works on Bernoulli's principle: the faster air moves, the lower its static pressure, and the higher its dynamic pressure. The throttle (accelerator) linkage does not directly control the flow of liquid fuel. Instead, it actuates carburetor mechanisms which meter the flow of air being pulled into the engine. The speed of this flow, and therefore its pressure, determines the amount of fuel drawn into the air stream
