CARBURISER Meaning and
Definition
-
A carburiser, also known as a carburetor or carburetter, is a mechanical device primarily used in internal combustion engines to facilitate the mixing of fuel (typically gasoline or petrol) with air before it enters the engine cylinders. The purpose of a carburiser is to create the right air-fuel mixture, commonly referred to as "carburation", for efficient combustion and optimal engine performance.
The carburiser functions by utilizing a venturi tube, which narrows the passage of incoming air and creates a low-pressure area. This low-pressure region helps draw fuel from the carburetor's fuel bowl through tiny holes called jets. As the fuel is siphoned into the air stream, it atomizes and mixes with the air, forming a highly combustible mixture that can be ignited within the engine.
In addition to fuel delivery and atomization, the carburiser also includes various adjustable components such as the throttle and mixture control screws, allowing for fine-tuning of the air-fuel ratio according to engine demands. By adjusting these components, one can optimize fuel efficiency, power output, and emissions.
While modern vehicles commonly employ fuel injection systems, carburisers were prevalent in older generations of automobiles and small engines. They still find application in certain industries such as vintage vehicle restoration or for specific purposes requiring simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

Etymology of CARBURISER
The word "carburiser" is derived from the French word "carbure" which means "carbide". It is formed by adding the suffix "-iser" to "carbure", which means "to transform into carbide". The French term "carbure" itself is traced back to the Latin word "carbo", meaning "coal" or "charcoal". In this context, "carburiser" refers to a substance or device used to introduce or increase the carbon content in a material.
