ATDC stands for "After Top Dead Center," a term used in combustion engines to describe the position of the piston after it has reached its highest point in the cylinder. This position is critical for understanding the timing of the combustion process and the intake and exhaust strokes. ATDC is measured in degrees of crankshaft rotation and helps engineers optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. Proper timing related to ATDC can significantly influence engine power output and efficiency.
Combustion is a hemical reaction.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Combustion is a chemical property.
Combustion is a an oxydation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
In mechanical terms, ATDC stands for "After Top Dead Center." It refers to the position of a piston in an internal combustion engine when it has moved past the highest point in its stroke (top dead center) and is descending. This measurement is crucial for timing the ignition and fuel injection events to optimize engine performance and efficiency. Understanding ATDC helps engineers design and tune engines for better power output and emissions control.
After Top Dead Center.
1600 = 5 atdc
Intake Valve open 64 Degree BTDC and closes at 34 Degrees BTDC. Exhaust valve opens at 36 or 37 Degree's ATDC and closes at 79 Degrees ATDC

10 degrees btdc with spout connector unplugged.
it is 12 atdc for the 88, I assume they are the same

The timing on an International 446 gas motor refers to the precise moment when the spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, which is crucial for optimal engine performance. Proper timing ensures efficient combustion, smooth operation, and maximum power output. It can typically be adjusted using the ignition timing specifications provided by the manufacturer, often measured in degrees before or after top dead center (BTDC or ATDC). Regular maintenance and adjustments may be necessary to keep the timing in check, especially as the engine ages or if modifications are made.
