carburetor

Definition von carburetor im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: A device in an internal combustion engine where fuel is vapourized and mixed with air prior to ignition; In the former air is charged by being passed over the surface of gasoline; Alcohol and other volatile inflammable liquids may be used instead of gasoline; Called "carb" for short The mechanism on an engine that controls the ratio of fuel and air that enters the engine There are different types of carburetors: Rotary Carburetor: the standard model engine carburetor, carried over from airplane engines when they were adapted for car use For most hobbyists and racers this type of carburetor is fine, because it is simple to install and adjust The throttle servo turns a "barrel", which has a hole through it, and this controls the amount of air going into the engine A needle valve on the carburetor controls the amount of fuel going into the engine Slide Carburetor: a highly modified, car-specific type of carb that has the barrel of the carb slide along its axis, instead of turning This provides a quicker response at the expense of a complicated set-up procedure This type of carb will benefit a small number of racers and is not suggested for casual hobbyists Two or three needle valves control the fuel intake at different RPM ranges; This is the component that supplies fuel to your engine (unless you have fuel injection) It mixes air and fuel in varying proportions according to the position of the throttle opening and engine vacuum Carburetor adjustments include idle speed, idle fuel mixture and choke setting Most carburetor problems are due to choke misadjustment or dirty air or fuel Dirt can plug up the tiny metering orifices, resulting in a variety of driveability problems Wear around the throttle shafts or warpage or vacuum leaks around the base plate can also cause problems Overhaul kits are available to the do-it-yourself mechanic but many carburetors can be very difficult to rebuild correctly A better alternative is a factory rebuilt carburetor that can be easily installed; an apparatus for supplying an internal combustion engine with an explosive mixture of vaporized fuel and air; Device which mixes fuel and air and controls the amount of mixture entering the engine The carburetor provides the engine with the proper mixture of fuel and air; - A mechanical device found on the intake side of the engine which mixes fuel and air to create the volatile mixture that gets ignited in the engine; device for mixing vaporized fuel with air to produce an explosive mixture; the part of the engine which controls the speed; A mechanism which mixes fuel with air in the proper proportions to provide a desired power output from a spark-ignition internal combustion engine On production vehicles, carburetors have been replaced by electronic fuel injection; In the latter a fine spray of gasoline is drawn from an atomizing nozzle by a current of air induced by the suction of the engine piston, the supply of gasoline being regulated by a float which actuates a needle valve controlling the outlet of the feed pipe; A vacuum-dependent device used to mix fuel with air to form a vapor that is ideal for combustion; A device through which air and fuel are atomized and drawn into the engine It meters the proper proportions of fuel and air to form a combustible mixture and varies the ratio according to the engine operation; An apparatus in which coal gas, hydrogen, or air is passed through or over a volatile hydrocarbon, in order to confer or increase illuminating power; The carburetor for a gasoline engine is usually either a surface carburetor, or a float, float- feed, or spray, carburetor; mixes air with gasoline vapor prior to explosion; A device through which air is drawn into the engine and mixed with fuel to form a combustible mixture that can be burned in the engine's cylinders The carburetor changes the ratio of fuel and air according to varying engine operating conditions such as starting, idling, cruising and maximum power; an apparatus in which air or gas is carbureted, as by passing it through a light petroleum oil; Used in older cars, this is a complex device usually found right below the air cleaner that uses a series of flaps and valves to vaporize fuel and mixed it with air in proper quantities to suit the varying needs of the engine; (Otomotiv) Used in older cars, this is a complex device usually found right below the air cleaner that uses a series of flaps and valves to vapourize fuel and mixed it with air in proper quantities to suit the varying needs of the engine; The chamber which mixes air from the venturi and fuel from the fuel jet The carburetor in a NORVEL engine is pressure fitted into the crankcase, and are sold as a unit; The fuel system component that mixes, meters, and atomizes fuel and air, as well as supplies the proper amounts of both fuel and air to the engine Carburetors require constant adjustment and are pretty much a thing of the past Today fuel injection has replaced these antiquated fuel distributors; A device that combines fuel with air entering the engine; capable of precision control over the air volume and the ratio of the fuel-to-air mixture; One that carburets; specif; The part of the engine which controls the speed or throttle setting and lean/rich mixture via setting of the needle valve; Device for supplying a spark-ignition engine with a mixture of fuel and air. Carburetors are used in small gasoline engines, such as lawn mowers and chainsaws. Once an essential component in all gasoline engines, automobile carburetors were displaced by electronic fuel injection systems from the late 1970s through 1990. Carburetors for automobile engines usually contained a storage chamber for liquid fuel, a choke, an idling jet, a main jet, an airflow restriction, and an accelerator pump. The quantity of fuel in the storage chamber was controlled by a valve actuated by a float. The choke, a butterfly valve, reduced the intake of air so that a fuel-rich charge was drawn into the cylinders when a cold engine was started. As the engine warmed up, the choke was gradually opened. Reduced pressure near the partially closed throttle valve caused the fuel to flow from the idling jet into the intake air. Further opening the throttle valve activated the main fuel jet. Then the venturi-shaped airflow restriction created reduced pressure, drawing fuel from the main jet into the airstream at a rate related to the airflow so that a nearly constant fuel-air ratio was obtained. The accelerator pump injected fuel into the inlet air when the throttle was opened suddenly. See also gasoline engine; venturi tube; A device connected indirectly to the gas pedal and mounted on top of the engine; {i} part of an internal-combustion engine (also carburettor); {i} carburetter
carburetor barrel: (Otomotiv) The tube-like part of the carburetor through which air flows and is mixed with vapourized fuel. The choke butterfly valve is located at the top of the carburetor barrel, and the throttle valve is located at the bottom. The size and quantities of barrels dictate the volume of air that will enter the car's combustion chamber
