Load on Engine

Load on Engine: With increase in load, the cycle pressures increase and the flame speed also increases. In S.I. engine, the power developed by an engine is controlled by throttling. At lower load and higher throttle, the initial and final pressure of the mixture after compression decrease and mixture is also diluted by the more residual gases. This reduces the flame propagation and prolongs the ignition lag. This is the reason, the advance mechanism is also provided with change in load on the engine. This difficulty can be partly overcome by providing rich mixture at part loads but this definitely increases the chances of afterburning. The after burning is prolonged with richer mixture. In fact, poor combustion at part loads and necessity of providing richer mixture are the main disadvantages of SI engines which causes wastage of fuel and discharge of large amount of CO with exhaust gases.
