The internal combustion engine (ICE) finds its place in the market with latest design modifications in various components to improve efficiency, economy and overall performance. However, one process has remained unchanged in the internal combustion engine development, i.e actuating the number of cylinders as per our power requirement of engine under various load conditions. This technique enables the provision that we can use power produced from the cylinders of the engine at the maximum level. For example let us consider a four stroke diesel engine with six cylinders on it. In the first gear of the engine all cylinders will be active, but the power produced not used efficiently and the power produced from two cylinders will be enough to drive the load. Thus this type of actuating the cylinder will decrease the total fuel consumption and hence the efficiency is increased. This actuation is made by the transducer and solenoid valve that takes the control over fuel supply in a regulated manner.
