SWIRL
(Inspiringswirl)
In orderto promotemixinginjected

system,swirl flow is utilizedfor good
combustion. Swirl isspiral flow

Spiral flow
of
air (swirl) isgenerated
bytheshape of intake
port,
which is
called helical port
or
spiralport.

SQUISH
(Squished
air
flow)
In thepiston, combustionchamber(dish
type combustionchamber)
is
formed.
When thepiston comes upto
TDC
(top
dead center), air in the
gaps
is squished
in the combustionchamber and air flow
isgenerated, which is called “squish.”
(See Fig.

FORMING
OF
COMBUSTIONGAS AND COMBUSTION
For igniting quickly the fuel injected fromthe nozzle, itisessentialto atomize very
finefuelparticlesfordistributing evenly inthe combustionchamber.
For
this purpose,fuelshould be injected through hole type nozzle by veryhigh
pressure, i.e.195 kg/c
m’.
The fuel, thus injected, is‘mixedwithairbythe flow of
swirlandsquish while pistoniscomingup. Accompanying crimb of thepiston,
combustion gas compressed furtherandfinallyitautomatically begins ignitingand
while piston
is
goingdown,“squish”functionsand promotes combustion.
