  2. Smudge pot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smudge_pot

    The draught caused by the breeze passing through the chimney will draw air through the open damper into the fuel tank, where the surface of the fuel inside will light and burn instantly. Once the choofer is sufficiently warm, the damper may be closed until a steady rate of burning is attained, when the characteristic " choofa choofa choofa ...

  3. Wet stacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking

    Cold weather running or other causes that prevent the engine from reaching proper operating temperature can cause a buildup of fuel due to incomplete burn that can result in 'wet stacking'. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In diesel generators , it is usually because the diesel engine is running at only a small percentage of its rated output.

  4. Heated air inlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_air_inlet

    These vehicles have a MAF sensor, Air Temperature sensor, and when equipped with the 2.3L 4-cylinder, two spark-plugs per cylinder. This combination ensures the air is just warm enough to vaporize the droplets and does very noticeably improve performance and emissions at the same time in cold, northern winter weather. [citation needed]

  5. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

    A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

  6. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    The exhaust port is connected directly to the cylinder wall. The transfer and exhaust port are opened and closed by the piston. The reed valve opens when the crankcase pressure is slightly below intake pressure, to let it be filled with a new charge; this happens when the piston is moving upwards.

  7. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    The intake manifold vacuum, with wide open throttle, is lower in these conditions, which causes the PCV valve to open and the crankcase gases flow to the intake system. [13] The greater flow rate of intake air during these conditions means that a greater quantity of blow-by gases can be added to the intake system without compromising the ...

  8. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

    Typical modern mechanical ventilation systems use as little as 2000 J/m 3 for fan operation, and in cold weather they can recover much more energy than this in the form of heat transferred from waste exhaust air to fresh supply air using recuperators. Ventilation heat loss can be calculated as:

  9. Expansion chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_chamber

    When the descending piston first exposes the exhaust port on the cylinder wall, the exhaust flows out powerfully due to its pressure (without assistance from the expansion chamber) so the diameter/area over the length of the first portion of the pipe is constant or near constant with a divergence of 0 to 2 degrees which preserves wave energy.
