Fuel Supply System
•Fuel is a substance consumed by the engine to produce power.
•The quality of fuel mainly depends upon the following properties:
(i) Volatility
(ii) Calorific value
(iii) Ignition quality of fuel
•A good fuel contains a combination of qualities such as good volatility,
high antiknock value, chemical purity, and freedom from gum.
•The common fuel for Internal Combustion engines are
1.Petrol 2. Power kerosene 3. High speed diesel

FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM IN DIESEL ENGINE
JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Powarkheda 10
FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM IN DIESEL ENGINE
•Fuel is drawn from fuel tank by fuel feed pump and forced to injection pump
through fuel filter.
•The injection pump supplies high pressure fuel to injection nozzles through
delivery valves and high pressure pipes.
•Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber through injection nozzles.
•The fuel that leaks out from the injection nozzles passes out through leakage
pipe and returns to the fuel tank through the over flow pipe.
•Over flow valve installed at the top of the filter keeps the feed pressure under
specified limit.
JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Powarkheda 11
Fuel injection pump
•It is a high pressure pump which supplies fuel to the injectors according to
the firing order of the engine.
•It is used to create pressure varying from 120 kg/cm2 to 300 kg/cm2.
•It supplies the required quantity of fuel to each cylinder at appropriate time.
Air venting of fuel system
•When air has entered the fuel lines or suction chamber of the injection pump,
venting should be done properly.
•Air is removed by the priming pump through the bleeding holes of the
injection pump.
JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Powarkheda 13
Fuel injector
•It is the component which delivers finely atomized fuel under high pressure to combustion
chamber of the engine.
•Modern tractor engines use fuel injectors which have multiple holes.
•Main parts of injectors are nozzle body, and needle valve.
•The needle valve is pressed against a conical seat in the nozzle body by a spring.
•The injection pressure is adjusted by adjusting a screw.
•In operation, fuel from injection pump enters the nozzle body through high pressure pipe.
•When fuel pressure becomes so high that it exceeds the set spring pressure, the needle
valve lifts off its seat.
•The fuel is forced out of the nozzle spray holes into the combustion chamber.

JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Powarkheda 16
Purpose of lubrication-
(i)Reduces the wear and prevents seizure of rubbing surfaces (Reduce
wear)
(ii)Reduces the power needed to overcome the frictional resistance
(Reduce frictional effect).
(iii)Removes the heat from the piston and other parts (Cooling effect)
(iv)Serves as a seat between piston rings and cylinder (Sealing effect)
(v)Removes the foreign material between the engine working parts
(Cleaning effect)
JNKVV-College of Agriculture, Powarkheda 17
Engine lubrication system
The lubricating system of an engine is an arrangement of mechanisms which
maintains the supply of lubricating oil to the rubbing surfaces of an engine at correct
pressure and temperature.
The parts which require lubrication are:-
1. Cylinder walls and piston 2. Piston pin
3. crankshaft and connecting rod bearings 4. Camshaft bearings
5. Valve operating mechanism 6. Cooling fan
7. Water pump 8. Ignition mechanism

Types of Lubricants
Lubricantsareobtainedfromanimalfat,vegetablesandminerals.Lubricantsmadeof

•Vegetable lubricants are obtained from seeds, fruits and plants. Cotton seed oil, Olive oil,
linseed oil and Castor oil are used as lubricant in small simple machines.
•Mineral lubricants are most popular for engines and machines. It is obtained from crude
petroleum found in nature. Petroleum lubricants are less expensive and suitable for IC
Engines.

Components of Lubrication System
Oil Pump
It is usually a gear type pump, used to force oil into
the oil pipe. The pump is driven by the camshaft of the
engine. An oil pressure gauge fitted in the line,
indicates the oil pressure in the lubricating system.
About 3 kg/cm

Purpose of cooling
1.To maintain optimum temperature of engine for efficient operation under all
conditions.
2.To dissipate surplus heat for protection of engine components like cylinder,
cylinder head, piston, piston rings, and valves
3.To maintain the lubricating property of oil inside engine

Thermostat valve: It is a control valve, used in the cooling system to control the flow of water when
activated by a temperature signal. It is a special type of valve, which closes the inlet passage of the
water connected to the radiator. The thermostat is placed in the water passagebetween the cylinder
head and the top of radiator. Its purpose is to close this passage when the engine is cold, so that
water circulation is restricted, causing the engine to reach operating temperature more quickly.
Thermostats are designed to start opening at 70ºC to 75 ºC and then fully open at 82 ºC for petrol
engine and 88-90 ºC for diesel engine.
Water jackets: Water jackets are cored out around the engine cylinder so that water can circulate
freely around the cylinder as well as around the valve opening.
Fan: The fan is usually mounted on the water pump shaft. It is driven by the same belt that drives
the pump and the dynamo. The purpose of the fan is to provide strong draft of air through the
radiator to improve engine cooling.

Differential
Differential unit is a special arrangement of gears to permit one of the rear wheels of the
tractor to rotate slower or faster than other. While turning the tractor on a curve path, the inner
wheel has to travel lesser distance than the outer wheel. The inner wheel requires lesser power
than the outer wheel, this condition is fulfilled by differential unit, which permits one of the
rear wheels of the tractor to move faster than the other at the turning point.

Ignition System
•Fuel mixture of I. C engine must be ignited in the engine cylinder at proper
time for useful work.
•Arrangement of different components for providing such ignition at proper
time in the engine cylinder is called ignition system.

Fundamentals for fluid power transmission
•Fluid power is based on the principle of Pascal’s law which states that pressure
applied to a fluid is transmitted equally in all direction.
•Hydraulic Fluid is assumed as incompressible.
•The fluid pressure controls the force of output. (P= F/A= force/area).
•The fluid flow controls the speed of output.

Air Cleaner

Air Cleaner
It is a device, which filters and removes dust, moisture and other foreign matter from the air
before if reaches the engine cylinder.
Air cleaner is usually of two types:
(1)Dry type air cleaner and
(2)Oil bath type air cleaner.
Dry type air cleaner
The filtering element in this case is a type of felt. The felt has got larger surface area, reduces
the air speed while passing through and consequently particle or dirt in the air is deposited on
or stopped by its surface.
