Before we delve into the main topic of "Engine Decarbonization", we need to know that excessive carbon deposits on the cylinder head of most of the automobiles and bikes or mopeds largely affect their service. The carbon deposits cause the air to tumble into the combustion chamber, turbulence causes the air/fuel mixture to be unevenly distributed thereby reducing the effectiveness of the machinery. Hence we need to deploy the mechanism of decarbonization or decarburization of an engine in order to reduce the carbon content. So,

What is Engine Decarbonization?

The process of Engine Decarbonization involves cleaning out carbon deposits mechanically which entails removal of carbon deposits on the cylinder head and then physically scrapping of the carbon deposits from the top of piston valves and the combustion chamber as well. For the proper maintenance of the engine, the process of engine decarbonization has to be employed. [caption id="attachment_3044" align="alignnone" width="753"] Credits: transmoto.com[/caption] The process of engine decarbonization can be carried out by the addition of certain chemicals like terpene alcohol and other fuming liquids which help the carbon deposits formed in various parts of the engine to be removed. We can deploy the mechanism by Fuel Injection system, Piston Crowns, and Rings, EGR valves or mufflers or combustion chambers and so on. Addition of the chemicals into the main fuel supply of petrol or diesel will help us remove some parts of the carbon deposit which then needs to be ejected out from the exhaust of the bikes.

Cause of Carbon Buildup in Engines:

When the combustion area of an engine of bike burns fuels like petrol or diesel it releases a lot of fumes, smoke and waste by-products of carbon. When the fuel burns, it releases a lot of by-products of carbon in huge content which deposit themselves on the intake of the engine nearby restricting the airflow to the engine and causes a lot of problems like

• The machinability of the bike is decreased drastically and the engine stops running smoothly.
• The vehicle starts vibrating vigorously and shaking off the engine is caused.
• The bike or mopeds starts jerking and leaping frequently.

Need for Engine Decarbonisation- Maintain your Motorbikes aptly

• Decarbonization is the most integral part of the maintenance of any auxiliary engine of bikes, mopeds, two-wheelers that run on engines
• Decarbonisation is required to ensure the protraction of the engine’s optimum working condition.
• Decarbonization of the engine is also deployed for assuring efficient and safe running of the important auxiliaries.
• The method of engine decarbonization is used to keep the engine in an overall good condition by removal of the carbon deposits from the cylinder liner, combustion area, cylinder head, gear, and piston.

Engine Decarbonization Process Implementation in 2 stroke Motorcycle Bike Engines The engine decarbonization procedure in 2 stroke uses additional 2T oil for lubricating the powertrain of the bike and then gradually and eventually gets burnt off along with the petrol or diesel employed, leaving heavy carbon residue mainly in the head cylinder. It is way easier to open up the cylinder head of a two-stroke engine and engage in a simple procedure for the maintenance.

Engine Decarbonization Implementation in a four-stroke Motorcycle or Bike Engines

The engine decarbonization procedure of motorcycles equipped with modern four-stroke technology is different from the two-stroke technology. This requires overhead camshafts, injectors, multiple sensors, and electronics. One does not generally use additional 2T oil for four-stroke engines and if the four-stroke engine is maintained in good condition then one may not even require the engine decarbonisation for a long time but it can definitely be done with strong solvents like petrol or other organic compounds by mixing them inside the engine block or crankcase for the maintenance.

Reduction of the Carbon Deposition- Making Automobiles Eco-friendly

It can be deciphered from the article that carbon deposits on any of the automobiles are an undesirable aspect of service or machinery hence there must be some process employed to reduce the carbon content and make it environment-friendly and reduce the cost and effectiveness of maintaining one's vehicles from time to time. One of the processes which help us to do away with the lessening of carbon deposition is the LCE or Low Carbon Economy. This technology that produces energy or power for the automobiles with a substantially lesser amount of carbon dioxide emissions than those emitted from conventional fuels for power generation like petrol and diesel. It is also referred to as the Low Fossil Fuel Economy (LFFE) or the decarbonised economy based on the production of the lower amount of carbon thereby reducing and producing a minimal output of the greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and  biosphere of the earth and reducing pollution as a whole in the environmental scenario.

Carbon Clean

The Carbon Clean is a new innovation which is designed by the United Kingdom which uses hydrogen technology to remove the carbon buildup from one engine where one does not need to dismantle the parts or use any fatal and harmful chemicals and it, therefore, makes the process a quick, safe and eco-friendly procedure. This was all one needs to know about Engine Decarbonisation which helps one and facilitates the use of any vehicle or motorcycle to effectively maintain the vehicle well from time to time. One must employ the technique and mechanism of engine decarbonization in order to ensure the degradation of pollution in the environment and thereby creating an eco-friendly environment for all.
