Scavenging Process , Scavenging Process in two stroke engine

     -: Scavenging Process :- 


The process of clearing the cylinder after the expansion stroke is called scavenging process .

                                      In a two stroke engine because of non - availability of an expression stroke , its combustion chamber is left full of combustion product so for this , scavenging process used in a two stroke engine . 
In other words , Scavenging process is the replacement of combustion products in the cylinder from previous power stroke with fresh air charge to be burned in the next cycle . This process must be completed in a very short duration available between the end of the expansion stroke and start of the process of charging . 


-: Scavenging Process in Two stroke Engine :-
Scavenging process can be divided into the following four parts - 
1- Pre blowdown  
2- Blow-down 
3- Scavenging 
4- Additional Charging 

1- Pre-Blowdown :- 

                             In this stage , On the opening of inlet port , the gases expending in the main cylinder tend to escape from it and to be pre discharge into the scavenge air manifold . This pre blowdown process ends with the opening of exhaust port . 

2- Blow-down :- 
                           In this stage with the opening of exhaust ports , the gases existing in the cylinder at the end of expansion stroke discharge simultaneously into exhaust manifold , consequently the pressure of main cylinder drops to a valve lower than existing in scavenge air manifold. This blowdown process terminates at the moment the gas pressure inside the cylinder attains a value slightly less than air pressure inside scavenge manifold . 

3- Scavenging :- 

                          This phase of the scavenging process starts at the moment when the spontaneous exhaust of gases from cylinder terminates and ends at the moment the exhaust ports are closed . 
 The scavenge air sweeps out all residual gases remaining in the main cylinder . At the end of spontaneous exhaust and replaces them as completely as possible with fresh charge . 

4- Additional Charging :- 
                                            After the completion of scavenging phase , the fresh charge continues to flow till the scavenge ports are open and pressure in the cylinder rises . This last phase result in better filling of the cylinder .
