Abstract

The major toxins emitted from SI engine are carbon monoxide (CO) and unburnt hydrocarbons (UHC). These are harmful and create health problems to human beings, and hence control of these pollutants calls for instant attention. It has been recognized from the literature review that copper coating inside the cylinder head and over the piston crown will reduce the emission and increase the overall performance. Hence, in this Project work piston crown and engine head are coated using copper and experiment are conducted. A Kirloskar AV1 engine is used for conducting experiment. The copper coated piston crown and engine head is used to reduce the emission (HC, CO, O2, and CO2). The performance and characteristics of the copper coated engine has been studied.
