Parts of the marine diesel engine

Below is a cross-sectional view of a Sulzer Main Diesel Engine and the names of the component parts.
The starting air valve is used to lead highly compressed air to push the piston for turning the engine when starting. In this 2-stroke engine, the air intake and exhaust are taken into the engine cylinder liner through scavenging ports and exhaust ports.
The cylinder head covers the top of the cylinder and houses the starting air valve, fuel valve or injector. It will also contain a relief valve and indicator cock.
The piston contains piston rings that will seal the high pressure combustion gases from the bottom part of the engine. The piston is cooled by water that is led through telescopic tubes into the hollow piston assembly.
The cylinder liner is surrounded by cooling jacket water. This can be removed and changed. The seals between the cylinder liner and the engine block is by silicone o-rings that can stand the high temperatures.
Underneath the piston is a space that is used for air intake. The scavenging air makes use of the movement of the piston to pump the air into the cylinder liner during air intake stroke. A turbocharger is installed to compress the air slightly for better efficiency. It makes use of the energy of the exhaust gas to drive the turbine blades and eventually the blower.
The piston rod moves vertically and is sealed at the piston rod gland. This prevents the air from escaping into the crankcase. The crosshead converts the vertical movement of the piston into rotary motion at the connecting rod-crankshaft. The lubrication of the crosshead is through articulating pipes. The lubrication of the journal bearings and crankpin bearings is through the lubricating oil system.
The tie rods secure the whole engine block together. There is also crankcase relief valve for reducing the damage if there is a crankcase explosion.
The bedplate contains the main bearings for the crankshaft and the thrust

    The process of starting the car begins in the engine cylinders, where gasoline from the fuel injector and the air from the intake valve mix together before being ignited by a spark and form gasses that expand and push the piston. But combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means it release heat. In this process, a lot heat will be released and much of this heat will be escaped through the tail pipe.…

    The task at hand was to find a medium sized internal combustion engine. With this engine we had to dismantle it recording all the steps taken to pull it down. After the engine had been taken apart, all the functions of the engine had to be observed and recorded. After observing and recording all the information, it was then required to make any minor repairs, adjustments or replacements. Once the repairs had been carried out, the engine had to be rebuilt back to its original or better then working condition.…

    The turbocharger, or "turbo", is mounted directly to the exhaust manifold, here turbine impeller is attached to a short shaft where exhaust gases will pass. On the other side of this shaft is a compressor turbine, where through air filter the air is pulled out and blows it into the intake manifold. So basically, the energy from the expelled exhaust gasses, which would normally be wasted on a N/A engine, is being used to pump air back into the engine. The shaft is supported by a bearing housing that is lubricated and cooled by an oil line from the engine. Since engine exhaust has such high temperatures, the exhaust side of the turbo can reach thousands of degrees F. This is why it is so critical that the engine oil be changed religiously (every…

    Between the air inlet door and the APU, an air inlet plenum is installed. The ambient air is then compressed by the centrifugal compressor impeller, which increases the air velocity. When the air flow meets the diffuser, the air velocity will be convert into pressure. The pressurize air then reach te combustor, where the air is mixed with fuel and ignited by the ignition system. The combustion is a constant process that heats and expands the released gases before they reach the two-stage axial turbine. The gases clash on the turbine blades, which causes a rotation of the common rotor shaft. After the gases leave the turbines they flow into the APU exhaust and are released in the open…

    The design and performance characteristics of a novel top–down uniflow scavenged gasoline direct-injection two-stroke engine are presented. The novelty of the engine lies in the cylinder head that contains multiple check valves that control scavenging airflow into the cylinder from a supercharged air plenum. When the cylinder pressure drops below the intake plenum pressure during the expansion stroke, air flows into the cylinder through the check valves. During compression the cylinder pressure increases to a level above the intake plenum pressure and the check valves close preventing back-flow into the intake plenum. The engine head design provides asymmetrical intake valve timing without the use of poppet valves and the associated valve-train. In combination with an external Roots-type supercharger that supplies the plenum and exhaust ports at the bottom of the cylinder wall, the novel head provides top–down uniflow air scavenging. Motoring tests indicated that the check valves seal and the peak pressure is governed by the compression ratio. The only drawback observed is that valve closing is delayed as the engine speed increases. In order to investigate the valve dynamics, additional tests were performed in an optically-accessible cold flow test rig that enabled the direct measurement of valve opening and closing time under various conditions.

    Older engines make use of a mechanical fuel pump and valve assembly which is driven by the engine crankshaft, usually via the timing belt or chain. These engines use simple injectors which are basically very precise spring-loaded valves which will open and close at a specific fuel pressure. The pump assembly consists of a pump which pressurizes the fuel, and a disc-shaped valve which rotates at half crankshaft speed. The valve has a single aperture to the pressurized fuel on one side, and one aperture for each injector on the other. As the engine turns the valve discs will line up and deliver a burst of pressurized fuel to the injector at the cylinder about to enter its power stroke. The injector valve is forced open by the fuel pressure and the diesel is injected until the valve rotates out of alignment and the fuel pressure to that injector is cut off. Engine speed is controlled by a third disc, which rotates only a few degrees and is controlled by the throttle lever. This disc alters the width of the aperture through which the fuel passes, and therefore how long the injectors are held open before the fuel supply is cut, controlling the amount of fuel injected.…

    An Air Driven Engine makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation. Compressed Air Technology is now widely preferred for research by different industries for developing different drives for different purposes. The Compressed Air Technology is quite simple. If we compress normal air into a cylinder the air would hold some energy within it. This energy can be utilized for useful purposes. When this compressed air expands, the energy is released to do work.…

    Six Stroke Engine

    During every cycle in a typical four stroke engine, piston moves up and down twice in the chamber, resulting in four total strokes and one of which is the power stroke that provides the torque to move the vehicle. But in a six stroke engine there are six strokes and out of these there are two power strokes. The automotive industry may soon be revolutionized by a new six-stroke design which adds a second power stroke, resulting in much more efficiency with less amount of pollution.…
