Here are the functions of key components found in actual carburetors used in SI engines:
🔸 1. Boost Venturi (Auxiliary Venturi)
✅ Function:
-
Located inside the main venturi, it helps increase the air velocity at the throat.
-
Creates a stronger vacuum signal near the fuel discharge nozzle (main jet).
-
Enhances fuel atomization and mixture formation, especially at low airflow rates.
🔧 Benefit:
-
Improves fuel delivery accuracy during part-throttle operation or transients.
🔸 2. Emulsion Tube
✅ Function:
-
Located between the main jet and the discharge nozzle.
-
Allows air and fuel to mix before entering the venturi.
-
Contains air bleed holes that introduce air to form an emulsion of fuel and air.
🔧 Benefit:
-
Ensures smoother fuel delivery and better atomization.
-
Helps prevent rich mixtures at low speeds and lean surging.
🔸 3. Acceleration Pump
✅ Function:
-
Provides an extra squirt of fuel when the throttle is suddenly opened.
-
Compensates for the temporary lean condition caused by sudden increase in air flow (due to fuel inertia).
🔧 Benefit:
-
Improves acceleration performance.
-
Prevents hesitation or stalling when the throttle is snapped open.
🔸 4. Altitude Compensation Mechanism
✅ Function:
-
Adjusts the fuel-air mixture based on changes in atmospheric pressure (altitude).
-
As altitude increases, air density drops → system reduces fuel flow to maintain the correct air-fuel ratio.
🔧 Types:
-
Barometric compensators, vacuum diaphragms, or electronic sensors.
🔧 Benefit:
-
Maintains fuel efficiency, power, and emission control at high altitudes.
✅ Summary Table
Component | Function |
---|---|
Boost Venturi | Increases vacuum for better fuel draw and atomization |
Emulsion Tube | Mixes air with fuel to create an emulsion for smoother delivery |
Acceleration Pump | Provides extra fuel during sudden throttle opening |
Altitude Compensation | Adjusts fuel flow to maintain correct mixture at varying atmospheric pressure |
These components work together to ensure that the carburetor delivers a consistent and optimal air-fuel mixture under all driving conditions.
