Engine provides power to the automobile. Presently, internal combustion engine is widely applied in the automobile. It’s
a kind of thermal machine that can control the fuel combustion in the cylinder to generate heat energy effectively, and then
convert the heat energy into mechanical energy that drives the piston in the cylinder to make reciprocating movement as
the way to output the power by the connecting rod, the crankshaft and the flywheel. The automobile runs with the power
transferred by the internal combustion engine to the automobile driving mechanism. Most of the internal combustion
engines providing power to the automobile are gasoline or diesel engines based on the fuel for combustion. The power to
GEELY car comes from the gasoline engine equipped with the electronic fuel injection system. It’s made of the machine
unit, crank connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, ignition system, cooling system, lubricating system,
startup system and management system.
1. Machine Unit
The machine unit is mainly composed of cylinder head, cylinder block and oil pan. It’s the basis of assembling the
engine mechanisms and systems, and the base to support the engine in normal operation. In another word, many parts of
the machine unit have multiple specific functions. For example, the internal walls of cylinder block and cylinder head make
up the combustion room, but they are also the components of crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, fuel supply system,
cooling system and lubricating system. The machine unit is designed to bear ultra heat or mechanical load.
2. Crankshaft Connecting Rod Mechanism
The crankshaft connecting rod mechanism is composed of body, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, flywheel and crank
shield. It converts the heat generated by engine combustion into mechanical energy, namely, converts the piston linear
reciprocating movement into the crankshaft and flywheel rotations, and then the flywheel outputs the power. The flywheel
is designed to keep the engine in stable rotation by the rotating inertia.
3. Intake Mechanism
The intake mechanism is composed of cylinder head, intake valve, exhaust valve, cam shaft, tappet, valve spring, cam
shaft timing gear, and timing belt. The intake mechanism is designed to open the intake valve in time, take in the combus-
tible gas mixture into the cylinder, and emit the post-combustion exhaust gas out of the cylinder in time.
4. Fuel Supply System
The fuel supply system is composed of gasoline pump, gasoline filter, gasoline distribution pipe, pressure regulator,
fuel injector, fuel tank, air filter, throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, exhaust gas purifier, and exhaust muffler.
The fuel supply system is designed to mix gasoline and air into high-quality combustible gas mixture, send it to the cylinder
for combustion, and emit the exhaust gas out of the engine.
5. Ignition System
The ignition system is composed of storage battery, engine, ignition coil, high-voltage wire and spark plug. The ignition
system is designed to make sure the compressed gas mixture to be ignited right at the preset moment. The ignition system is one
of the characteristics of gasoline engine to differentiate from the diesel engine.

6. Cooling System
The cooling system is composed of pump, radiator, fan, water inlet and outlet pipes, thermostat, the drain valve of
cylinder, and the gas water cavity. The cooling system is designed to emit the thermal energy in the heated components
to the air, so that the engine can work under thermo-equilibrium with powerful, cost-effective, reliable and durable features.
7. Lubricating System
The lubricating system is composed of oil pan, oil collector and filter, oil pump, pressure limit pump, as well as oil
passage, oil filter, and oil gauge in the machine unit. The lubricating system is designed to transmit the lubricant onto the
working surfaces of components in relative motion, so as to have the surfaces lubricated, cooled, sealed, antirust-treated
and cleaned, and in this way guarantee a normal and reliable operation for the engine.
8. Startup System
The startup system is composed of startup motor and its accessories. It’s designed to start up the engine from statistic
mode to automatic operation.
9. Engine Management System
The engine management system is also called the engine control system. It’s composed of sensors that measure the
engine operation status and parameters, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the controlled acting components.
The system is based on the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), with ECU controlling the Electronic Spark Advance (ESA)
and the Idle Speed Control (ISC) so that the engine works in optimal condition.
II. Operational Principle of Engine
Fig. 1 Working Principle of Engine
The engine works continuously to convert the heat generated by combustion into the mechanical energy. It never stops
repeating the 4 strokes in the cylinder, including intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke.
Below is a description of an operational cycle of 4-stroke gasoline engine, taking a single-cylinder engine shown in Fig.
1 as an example.
Piston Stroke
TDC
BDC

An operational cycle of 4-stroke engine is made of the intake, compression, power and exhaust strokes. When the
piston moves from Top Dead Center (TDC) to the Bottom Dead Center (BDC), the crank turns 180°. The distance from
TDC to BDC is called piston stroke.
1. Intake Stroke
The intake stroke is the process of taking in the combustible gas mixture into the cylinder. The intake valve opens right
before the piston approaches the TDC, and the exhaust valve closes immediately after the piston goes down. The intake
and exhaust valves form a proper overlap angle when they’re open simultaneously, which helps emitting the exhaust gas
effectively and improving the scavenge quality with the gas inertia. As the piston goes down further, the gas capacity
expands to produce ultra vacuum in the cylinder, so more gas mixture is taken in. When the piston reaches the BDC, the
intake valve is still open. Till the piston goes up and more combustible gas mixture goes into the cylinder with inertia, the
intake valve will close after the crank turns to the proper delay angle.
If the operational capacity of cylinder is fixed, in order to enable the engine to produce more power, the gas mixture
shall be taken in as much as possible in the intake stroke. In this sense, multiple valves, turbine mid-air cooler and
electronic fuel injector are applied to produce more high-quality combustion gas mixture
2. Compression Stroke
The compression stroke is the process of compressing the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder. The piston goes up
from the BDC, with the intake and exhaust valves closed. The pressure and temperature of combustible gas mixture in the
cylinder increase rapidly, so the heat-atomized fuel and gas become more even that helps improving the combustion
quality and the power capability. As improving the compression pressure may result in certain danger, the compression
ratio shall be keep at the best level. Improving properly the engine compression ratio, i.e. the ratio of maximal cylinder
capacity vs post-compression minimal capacity, may make the engine more powerful and cost-effective.
3. Power Stroke
The power stroke is the process in that the combustible gas mixture burns and expands to generate power in the
cylinder. At this moment, the intake valve is still closed. Before the piston goes up the TDC, the temperature and pressure
of gas mixture increase a lot, which drives the ECU to select and figure out the best ignition timing, and then the spark plug
will generate spark to ignite the combustible gas mixture. The gas mixture burns and releases heat that makes the
temperature and pressure increase sharply in the cylinder, and the maximal pressure occurs at the crank angle of 10° to
20° after reaching TDC. When the piston goes down after reaching the TDC, the expansion-to-power process begins. The
piston drives the crank and flywheel rotating with the connecting rod, and outputs the driving torque. When the piston
reaches the BDC, the power stroke ends. In order to keep the engine more powerful, cost-effective and less-polluting, we
have made great efforts to improve the combustion, make full use of the fuel, and purify the exhaust gas, and we’ll go on
with the efforts
4. Exhaust Stroke
The exhaust stroke is the process of emitting exhaust gas out of the cylinder. Before the piston goes down to the BDC
in the power stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the hot combustion gas turns to be exhaust gas after the expansion-to-
power process, and then begins to go out of the cylinder. The piston goes up after it reaches the BDC, and the exhaust gas
is extruded. Before the piston reaches the TDC, the intake valve begins to open for scavenge. Of course, when the piston
reaches the TDC, the exhaust valve will close after a period of delay.
The piston goes down from the TDC into a new operational cycle. With the operational cycles made up of the above-
mentioned 4 strokes, the engine works repeatedly and outputs non-stop power that drives the car forward

III. Engine performance curve
Engine feature refers to the rule in that the engine performance indicators change with the operational conditions. The
speed feature of engine is commonly used to define the rule in that the power, torque and fuel consumption ratio change
with the rotating speed in the case of fixed engine load (the throttle opening angle is fixed). The speed feature in the case
of full engine load (the throttle is completely opened) is called the exterior feature. The exterior feature curve describes the
maximal power, maximal torque, minimal specific fuel consumption of engine and the corresponding changes of engine
rotation speed, as shown in Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13.
