During the compression stroke of an internal combustion engine, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. This closure allows the piston to compress the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, increasing its pressure and temperature in preparation for ignition. The intake valve remains closed to prevent any backflow of the mixture, while the exhaust valve is also closed to contain the combustion gases until the power stroke is completed.
The piston is on the up stroke to compress so both valves are closed
You can determine if you're on the compression or exhaust stroke by observing the position of the piston and the alignment of the crankshaft. When the piston is at the top dead center (TDC) and both valves are closed, it's the compression stroke. Conversely, if the piston is moving down from TDC and the exhaust valve is open, then it's the exhaust stroke. Additionally, you can feel for air pressure at the spark plug hole during the compression stroke.
At TDC of the compression stroke for cyl #1, the cam lobes will be in a position such that they are putting no pressure on the valves, and valves are closed. At TDC of the exhaust stroke for cyl #1, the lobes will be in a position such that intake and exhaust valves may be open. Exhaust will be closing, and intake will be opening. There are two revolutions for the crank for one of the cam. TDC usually refers to TDC of the compression stroke, when valves are closed. This is when combustion/spark occurs, and is when the valves are adjusted on most engines.
During the compression stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. This sealing allows the piston to compress the air-fuel mixture (in gasoline engines) or air (in diesel engines) within the cylinder, increasing the pressure and temperature before ignition. The closed valves ensure that no gases escape and that the compression is efficient, setting the stage for a powerful combustion event in the subsequent power stroke.
Intake valve must be open to allow atomized fuel mixture to enter cylinder--than all valves are closed during compression stroke 4- stroke engine 1) intake valve open to allow fuel mixture to enter cylinder 2) compression stroke all valves closed 3) ignition stroke mixture is ignited by spark from spark plugs 4) exhaust stroke--exhaust valve is open to allow residue to escape
Bad compression is usually worn out piston rings, no compression is usually bad valves - assuming it's a 4-stroke.
The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.
Yes - at the compression stroke both valves are closed (ready to fire) at the exhaust stroke the exhaust valve is open
The combustion chamber has an exhaust valve and an intake valve. The power stroke is ignited just before TDC, in timing with the spark plug to ignite the fuel/air mixture. Hence, this forces the piston down with both valves closed. NOTE:Intake stroke (valve open to receive the f/a mixture), Compression stroke, both valves closed, Power stoke (see above), Exhaust stroke (piston upwards, with only exhaust valve open.
In a four-stroke reciprocating engine, both valves—the intake valve and the exhaust valve—open to facilitate the engine's four distinct strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The intake valve opens to allow the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber during the intake stroke, while the exhaust valve opens to release exhaust gases after combustion during the exhaust stroke. This coordinated opening and closing of the valves ensure efficient engine operation and optimal performance.
all strokes are the same intake, compression, power, exhaust but it all happens in 2 revolutions of the crank instead of four revolutions like 4 stroke. Also 2 stroke has no valves and four stroke has intake and exhaust valves. hope this helps
Valves on a small engine control the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber and the expulsion of exhaust gases. Typically, there are two types of valves: intake valves, which open to allow the air-fuel mixture in, and exhaust valves, which open to let out combustion gases. These valves are operated by a camshaft that pushes them open at specific times during the engine's four-stroke cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust). Proper valve timing and function are crucial for efficient engine performance and power generation.
