Chapter 3 - Scavenging the <strong>Two</strong>-<strong>Stroke</strong> Engine<br />

The input <strong>and</strong> output data in Fig. 3.41 detail the geometry <strong>of</strong> a four-cylinder DI diesel<br />

engine. Those dedicated to the design <strong>of</strong> the spark-ignition engine should note that the expected<br />

power output <strong>of</strong> this two-liter diesel automobile engine is 104.9 kW at 4500 rpm,<br />

which is well up to the performance levels <strong>of</strong> any gasoline engine <strong>of</strong> the same swept volume.<br />

The design has been conducted so that the maximum port angle, 6p, <strong>of</strong> any one port does not<br />

exceed 25°, permitting the use <strong>of</strong> unpegged rings on the piston. Even though the back ports<br />

are elevated at 60°, while the side ports are at 0°, the effective port width ratio, Cpb, for the<br />

scavenge ports is high at 1.23 <strong>and</strong> reflects the design criterion <strong>of</strong> maximized port area for the<br />

given bore circumference. The equivalent Cpb number for the exhaust ports is (4 times 18.6<br />

divided by 86) 0.865, also a high number by loop-scavenging design st<strong>and</strong>ards. The exhaust<br />

<strong>and</strong> scavenge port timings are low at opening values <strong>of</strong> 113° <strong>and</strong> 129° atdc, which mild timing<br />

still gives acceptably high values <strong>of</strong> time-areas (see Sec. 6.1) in order to pass the requisite<br />

exhaust <strong>and</strong> scavenge flows in the allotted time span at 4500 rpm. The low port timings are<br />

required to give good cylinder trapping conditions for a four-cylinder engine from both a<br />

scavenging st<strong>and</strong>point <strong>and</strong> from that <strong>of</strong> the exhaust system gas dynamics.<br />

A fuller debate on the latter topic is in Chapter 5, Sec. 5.5.3, where this program is used to<br />

provide the porting data for the simulation <strong>of</strong> a four-cylinder, externally scavenged, sparkignition,<br />

direct-injection engine for automobile applications.<br />

3.6 Scavenging design <strong>and</strong> development<br />

The development <strong>of</strong> good scavenging is essential for the two-stroke engine to provide the<br />

ever more sophisticated performance characteristics required <strong>of</strong> engines to meet international<br />

legislation for exhaust emissions <strong>and</strong> fuel consumption levels. In Fig. 3.42 is a tiny sample <strong>of</strong><br />

the range <strong>of</strong> scavenging characteristics found experimentally from some 1300 differing geometries<br />

tested in recent times. They are for uniflow engines (triangle symbol), cross-scav-<br />
