Scavenging

There are three main types of scavenging in two-stroke engines: cross-flow scavenging, loop scavenging, and uniflow scavenging. Cross-flow scavenging uses oppositely placed intake and exhaust ports to push exhaust out with incoming air. Loop scavenging places the ports on the same side to encourage gases to loop. Uniflow scavenging allows both fresh air and exhaust to move upward simultaneously through separate ports. Each method has advantages for power, efficiency, and heat management but also disadvantages in complexity, cost, or performance under different operating conditions.

EXHAUST
SCAVENGING

• Scavenging is the process of removing exhaust gases from the cylinder after
combustion and replenishing the cylinder with fresh air.
• Efficient scavenging is necessary for good combustion of fuel inside the engine
cylinder.
• The passage of scavenge air will also assist cooling of the cylinder, piston and
valves.
• Time available for scavenging process in 2 stroke engine is less than 4 stroke
engines.

THERE ARE MAINLY THREE TYPES OF
SCAVENGING METHOD ON THE BASE OF THE
FLOW OF AIR

- CROSS FLOW SCAVENGING


- REVERSE OR LOOP SCAVENGING
- UNIFLOW SCAVENGING

• Cross flow and Revere loop scavenging
take place with the help of piston
movement. Cross flow scavenging,
transfer port (inlet) and exhaust port are
situated on the opposite side of the
cylinder. The exhaust gas is pushed out by
cross flow. The piston head is designed to
have a hump shape called a deflector. The
fresh air entering the engine cylinder is
deflected upward by a deflector and
pushes exhaust gas down the other side.

• Advantages:

■ Low manufacturing cost.

■ Good scavenging at low speed and part throttle.

■ Low engine volume for the multi cylinder arrangement.

• Disadvantages:

■ Heavy piston with very high heat absorption.

■ High tendency to knock.

■ Poor scavenging at high speed and full throttle.

■ Compulsory water cooling, difficulty in cooling piston crown.

● Similar to the cross flow scavenging, but
the inlet and exhaust port are placed the
same side of the engine cylinder. The gases
Insert Image are encouraged to move loops. This type of
scavenging used a carefully designed
transfer port (inlet) to loop fresh air up
towards the cylinder head on one side and
push the burnt gas down to the exhaust port
installed just above the inlet. It has a flat or
slightly domed piston crown. This is the
most used type of scavenging system.

• ADVANTAGES:

■ Low maintenance.

■ The low surface area to the volume of the cylinder (hence the heat loss
reduced).

■ Good scavenging at full throttle.

■ Water cooling system is not necessary.

• DISADVANTAGES:

■ Poor scavenging at part throttle operation.

■ Scavenging time is short.


8
Uniflow scavenging is so called
because both fresh charge and
exhaust gas move in the same
Insert Image upward direction. In this method,
fresh air enters from the lower
side of the cylinder, and it pushes
out exhaust through the exit valve
situated at the top of the cylinder.
This method is used in large two-
stroke diesel engines.

• Advantages:
• Extended time for valve operation.
• The possibility of mixing is reduced due to uniflow.
• Increase power output.
• Most efficient of all three methods.
• Good scavenging at all speed ranges and throttle position.
• Low fuel consumption compared to other scavenging types.
• Disadvantages:
• Elaborate and costly construction.
• Difficulty in cooling the piston.
