Petrol engines are known for their simplicity, low cost and maintenance. However nowadays use of two stroke petrol engines are fading away from the market. An attempt has been made here to revive the use of these old engines by using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to improve performances.Short circuiting of fresh charge is an important contributing factor for reduction in performance in two stroke engines. Our project is aimed to reduce short circuiting of fresh charge by admitting cooled exhaust gas to pass through reed valves fitted at the upper end of the transfer passage, in a crank case scavenged two stroke engine. Reed valves were provided at the upper end of the transfer passage using a flange arrangement. Exhaust gas temperature at around 4000 was cooled using a heat exchanger to avoid pre-ignition inside the engine cylinder. The performance of the engine is tested using eddy current dynamometer. The study indicates an appreciable decrease in specific fuel consumption and in HC/CO emissions in a crank case scavenged two stroke engine.
