Green Grassroots Innovation - Internal Combustion Engine Verify Valve (Non Return)

A cloth merchant by occupation and educated only till 9th common, Arvind Janardan Khandke hails from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He has produced a Examine valve (non return) for internal combustion engine which apart from bettering its fuel performance, helps make it eco-friendly as effectively. The wet air filter of his motorcycle created him to consider that some air fuel mixture is returning back and therefore triggering incomplete combustion due to improper mixture of air and fuel. The un-burnt fuel causes emission of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the environment triggering a even more major variety of pollution. Arvind made a decision to produce a valve to end the wastage due to rebound of this air-fuel mixture and came up with a Verify valve produced of nylon and Poly Propylene.

Functions and programs of the non return Verify valve

• The non-return Examine valve can be employed with each two stroke and 4 stroke engines.
• This valve can be utilized for the two petrol and diesel engines. It is fitted in between air filter and carburettor and involving air filter and intake manifold in situation of petrol and diesel engines respectively.
• It increases the existence of filtering component of the air filter by retaining it dry.
• This Check out valve wants to be replaced right after each 25000 Km of drive and its price is just Rs. 1000.
• This green grassroots innovation has been granted patent for use on the two two stroke and 4 stroke engines.

Evaluation and assistance of the non-return Check out valve

Dr. D.Y. Patil School of Technological innovation tested this Check out valve in its lab on premier Padmini car engine and observed that it substantially improves the fuel performance. On road tests of the valve on the very same premier Padmini car engine showed that fuel performance increase by 30% when the valve was employed. The Government Polytechnic School of Kolhapur has also tested this non-return Examine valve for its eco-friendly emission claims on Enfield (350 cc) and observed that there was a reduction of 19% and 82% respectively in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons subject material at 2000 rpm.

The innovation was recognised and supported by the Nationwide innovation foundation, India (NIF). NIF, a non-profit autonomous entire body underneath ministry of science and technological innovation, government of India has also awarded the innovation in its 3rd Nationwide biennial competitors for green grassroots unaided technological innovations and normal information.
