Question

Centrifugal blower is used for small and medium engines.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

My enquiry is from Scavenging Pumps topic in chapter Two Stroke Engines of IC Engine

Answer 1

Answer: (b) False

Explanation:

Centrifugal blowers are generally used in larger, high-output engines, not small and medium engines. In smaller and medium-sized engines, other types of blowers, such as axial blowers, are more commonly used due to their efficiency at lower power levels. Centrifugal blowers are more suited to large, high-performance engines that require substantial airflow to achieve effective scavenging and combustion. Therefore, the statement is False.
