Abstract : The Internal Combustion Engine has been a primary power source for automobiles over the past century. Presently, high fuel costs and concerns about depletion of the available natural resources have resulted in increasingly complex engine designs to decrease fuel consumption. A concrete and serious effort has being laid down in order to find the best ways of using the deployable sources of energy in to useful work in order to reduce the rate of consumption of fossil fuel as well as pollution. The objective of this research paper is all about to develop better understanding of the performance characteristics of the engine with Inlet Air Preheater and to increase engine performance by recovering the heat from the exhaust gases in order to provide a better fuel economy. And also this preheating of the air will result in better vaporization of the fuel inside the carburetor (In case of SI engines) which results in better combustion of the fuel and thereby reduce the harmful emissions of the carbon monoxides in to the atmosphere.
