Mubin Shaharin, Anwar Sulaiman, Dr. Rahmat, Iskandar Shazi miorazman@petronas.com.my mutarazmin_mubin@petronas.com.my shaharin@petronas.com.my rahmats@petronas.com.my Engine Internal combustion Spark ignition Volumetric efficiency Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.myiem.org.my/ Air enhancement devices for air intake manifold systems of automotive engines have been widely available in the market with the claim that they can improve fuel-air mixing and thus bring more power to the engine performance and better fuel efficiency. However, there is lack of evidence to complement the claim. The objective of this study is to investigate the ability of an air enhancement device in improving the performance of a Spark Ignition (SI) engine. The investigation is performed by an experiment on a four-stroke single-cylinder engine test bed, in which the air enhancement device is installed at the downstream of the air intake manifold. The result is compared to the performance of the engine without the air enhancement device. It is shown that the brake power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) and torque increase significantly with the engine speed when operated at 30% to 50% of the open throttle positions. However, no distinct difference in the results is observed when the engine is running at higher throttle openings. 2011-09-04T03:30:09Z 2011-09-04T03:30:09Z 2009-09 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 72(3), 2009, pages 9-14 0126-513X http://www.myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2009-180.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13640 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia |
