ignition Flashcards
Also known as a cylinder block
contains all of the major components that make up at the bottom end of a motor
engine blocking
In this configuration the engines are arranged in two rows
v engine cylinder
The cylinders in the engines arranged in a line
inline cylinder
blocks arriving two rows of two cylinders each set oppposite to each other
Boxed cylinder/ opposed engine cylinder
is a process that utilizes non-reusable sand molds to form metal castings.
sand casting
a type of casting where it uses single use mold or expanded polystrene and unbounded sand
expendable pattern
the mold is formed around a pattern by ramming sand mixed with the proper bonding agent
conventional sand casting
contains all of the major components that make up the bottom end of a motor
cylinder block
is an essential component of a car enginethat is mounted on the cylinder block.
cylinder head
the energy of motion is converted into rotational energy by the crankshaft and subsequently moves the wheel.
crankshaft
the use of such an electronic switch
distributor based electronic ignition
serves to close the cylinder with the cylinder block to prevent leakage
piston ring
the heart of the engine, which plays a direct role in the combustion to produce power
piston
oldest type of ignition system
distributor based breaker point ignition
works as a reservoir for engine oil
crankcase or oil pan
to generate a very high voltage from the car’s 12 volt battery
ignition system
fully mechanical distributor was removed
distributor less ignition
converts chemmical energy to electrical energy
battery
used in light duty commercial vehicle
lead acid battery
used in heavy duty commercial vehicle
alkaline battery
regulates the temperature of ignition coil by regulating current and voltage passing from it to avoid overloads
ballast resistor
used to turn on and off the ignition system
ignition switch
also known as spark coil
which transforms the battery low voltage into thousand volts
ignition coil
it is made up of thick copper wire having 200 to 300 turns insulated from each other
Primary winding
it is made up of thin copper wire having large number of turns about 2,100 turns.
Secondary Winding
it consists of a laminated iron core. It is used to store energy in the form of magnetic field
iron core
is an enclosed rotating shaft used in spark ignition internal combustion engines that have mechanically timed ignition
distributor
drives the engine, it is a rotating object usually made of metal that contains pointed cams, which converts rotational motion to reciprocal motion
camshaft
is a type of electrical switch, and the term typically refers to the switching device found in the distributor of the ignition systems of spark ignition internal combustions engine.
contact breaker
is attached to a high tension cord which allows high voltage current to flow through the ignition system
terminal
this part insulates the terminal centre shaft and centre electrode from the housing
insulator
this spark plug component helps the insulator and the housing tightly fit each other and maintain airtightness
ring parking washer
makes the housing and the engine perfectly fit each other and also maintain
gasket
connects the terminal and the centre electrode
center shaft
located between the centre shaft and insulator to main the airtightness
glass seal
a special nickel alloy is employed at the cemtre electrode
electrode with copper
creates an outer shell that surrounds and supports the insulator
housing
to lower the spark voltage, secure reliable soarj improves ignition performance and reduces the quenching effect
central electrode
