What reading level is The Gas Engine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The arrangement is so simple and obvious that further illustration of it is unnecessary. The throttle valve is usually located just as near the main inlet valve as possible, in order to obtain prompt response to a change in its position. With gas engines this is advisable for the additional reason that the quality of the mixture is main- tained more nearly constant than it would be if the throttle were in the air-intake pipe.
The advantages of throttling the mixture are simplicity of mechanical... construction and the maintenance of a practically constant ratio of gas or oil to air. The disadvantage is that the compression in the cylinder changes with the load. Thus, at light load, the governor admits a smaller quantity of mixture during each suction stroke than at full load, and the compression pressure is therefore lower. This means that the particles of fuel and air are not so intimately compressed, and the result is slower combustion. At very light loads it frequently occurs that the compression is so low that a charge is either not completely burned or not even ignited.
