VEHICLE SUSPENSION SUPERCHARGING SYSTEM

Mechanical Engineering

The progress of automobiles for transportation has been intimately associated with the progress of civilization. The automobile of today is the result of the accumulation of many years of pioneering research and development. A supercharger is an air compressor used for forced injection of an internal combustion engine. The purpose of a supercharger is to increase the density of air entering the engine to create more power. Supercharging helps in achieving high power output of engine by increasing the density of air providing more oxygen for complete combustion. At present supercharging is used in four-wheeler and above for better performance. Different researchers in automotive field are working on how to increase the performance of the superchargers. But they are not so successful in implementing superchargers in miniature engines. Due to this reason the work related to supercharging a two wheeler is very few. Till now supercharger is being successfully employed in heavy engines but its use in smaller engine is still under development. However, a new supercharger of small size has been developed for supercharging two wheeler and testing had proved that there is an improvement in engine performance but this supercharger if implemented would drain a major part of the power output from the engine for it’s working. So our aim is to study the possibility of freely compressing the air, i.e., a non-conventional method to do the task of supercharging. In this work, we try to increase the performance of a miniature engine equipped with air suspension and valves. An attempt has been made in this project; the suspension air is forced into the intake of the carburetor of the engine. It is also good with regard to economic considerations and efficiency.
