Scavenging in Diesel Engines: Satisfactory Scavenging Depends On

Scavenging is the process of removing exhaust gases from a diesel engine cylinder after combustion and replacing it with fresh air. Satisfactory scavenging depends on efficiently evacuating exhaust gases and timing the opening and closing of exhaust and scavenge ports to minimize the loss of fresh air. There are three main types of scavenging: cross flow, loop, and uniflow. Uniflow scavenging has the highest efficiency and is most suitable for pressure charging, but it also has a more complicated cylinder head design.

Scavenging in Diesel Engines

Scavenging is the process of removing exhaust gases from the cylinder after combustion and replenishing the
cylinder with fresh air.

Satisfactory Scavenging Depends on:

1. Efficient evacuation of exhaust gases


2. Exhaust ports or valves open before scavenge ports
3. Scavenge ports close after the process of gas exchange
4. Loss of fresh air through exhaust passage to be minimum

Different Types of Scavenging

Cross Flow Scavenging

Cross Flow Scavenging is the gas exchange process in which the charge air passes is directed upwards, passing
under the cylinder cover and down the opposite side, expelling exhaust gas through exhaust ports on that
side.This system is obsolete now.
Loop Scavenging

Loop Scavenging is the gas exchange process in which he charge air passes over the piston crown and rises to
form a loop within the cylinder, expelling exhaust gases through exhaust ports cut in the same side of the liner
above the scavenge ports.
Uniflow Scavenging

Uniflow scavenging is he gas exchange process in which the charge air passes straight up through the length of
the cylinder, forcing the exhaust gas through exhaust valve at the top of the cylinder.

Advantages

▪ Highest scavenge efficiency at all scavenge ratios


▪ Drop in scavenge efficiency lowest with high scavenge pressure
▪ Most suitable for pressure charging
▪ Greater area for air and gas flow
▪ Possibility of short circuiting and mixing less
Disadvantages

▪ Complicated cylinder head and increased maintenance
