OTTO ENGINE

ELEMENTS OF MOTOR
1. Cylinder Block 2. butt 3. sump 4. Multiples (Collectors)

Cylinder Block
The cylinder block are located with their shirts, holes or cavities that arepracticed in it, inside which the pistons move. The latter is considered the heartof the engine.

The most common provisions of the cylinders can be found in the blocks ofgasoline engines are: 1.- On-line 2.- "V" 3.- Planes with cylinders arranged oppositely

PISTON
Is the component which moves inside the cylinder which receives it directly onthe impact of combustion of the mixture. It is divided into two main parts, the socalled head of the piston and piston skirt another call.

SPARCK PLUG
Electrode coated with a ceramic insulator material. At its upper end is connected to one of the high tension wires or voltage from the distributor, where he received an electric charge of between 15 000 and 20 000 volts or so.

At the other end of the spark plug has a screw to fit lica goal in the butt and an electrode that is located inside the camera Fuel n. The function n of the spark plug is to jump on the electrode spark ela ctricawithin the camera Fuel n of the cylinder when it receives the burden of highvoltages n from coil ignition n and distributor. On cue, the spark caused theexplosion of the fuelair mixture sets in motion the pistons. Each engine requires a spark plug per cylinder that contains the block.

OTTO ENGINE OPERATION

When the crank arm is in an upright position, the piston is ranked highest of his career. This situation is said to be in the top dead center (TDC). And when the piston is at the lower part of his tour, is said to be in the bottom dead center (PMI). The distance between two points is called a dead career. As the piston makes a stroke, the crankshaft rotates around.

The four-stroke Otto engine are: ADMISSION At the beginning of this time the piston is at TDC. At this time the intake valve is open and the piston, in your career or downward movement is creating a vacuum inside the combustion chamber as it reaches the PMI, be helped by the starterwhen we start engine, or because the movement itself that gives the wheelinertia once it is running.

The vacuum created by the piston at this time, causes the air-fuel mixture that sends the carburetor to the intake manifold from entering the combustion chamber of the cylinder through the intake valve open.

COMPRESSION

Once the piston reaches BDC, the camshaft, which rotates synchronously with the crankshaft and has until now kept open the inlet valve to allow the airfuelmixture enters the cylinder, closed. At that moment the piston begins to risecompressing the mixture of air and gasoline inside the cylinder.

EXPLOSION. Once the cylinder reaches TDC and the airfuel mixture has reached the maximum compression in an electrical spark jumps the electrode of the spark plug that ignites the mixture and makes it explode. The force of the explosionforces the piston down sharply and this movement is transmitted straight through the rod to the crankshaft, where it becomes useful work and rotational movement.

ESCAPE El pistn, que se encuentra ahora de nuevo en el PMI despus de ocurrido el tiempo de explosin, comienza a subir.
El rbol de leva, que se mantiene girando sincrnicamente con el cigeal abre en ese momento la vlvula de escape y los gases acumulados dentro del cilindro, producidos por la explosin, son arrastrados por el movimiento hacia arriba del pistn, atraviesan la vlvula de escape y salen hacia la atmsfera por un tubo conectado al mltiple de escape.
