Diesel Engine Process Overview

The document discusses the diesel engine process through several key points: 1) It explains the combustion process in a diesel engine which involves fuel igniting from the heat of compressed air, rather than a spark plug. 2) It outlines the "triangle of fire" which are the three elements (oxygen, compression, fuel) needed for combustion. 3) It describes how the engine converts the chemically bound energy in fuel into mechanical energy through the combustion and expansion process in the cylinder. 4) It provides diagrams showing the four stroke cycle and combustion/scavenging process in 2-stroke diesel engines.

MEP is the value referring to the


constant pressure which would
have to exist in a cylinder during
power stroke to produce the
same power at the flywheel.

PISTON STROKE TO CYLINDER BORE RATIO


Stroke to bore ratio is of importance for the size of the engine.

• The bigger the ratio is the bigger (higher) the engine will be.
• The bigger the ratio the better efficiency (be)

temperature by 1,5…2°C

Good To Know

Charge air pressure will increase because of


1. High ambient pressure (Po>1013 mbar or >750 mm Hg)
2. Low ambient temperature (To<25°C)
3. High LT-water temperature (TLT>35°C)
4. Retarded injection timing (5°=0,3 bar)
 

Charge air pressure will decrease because of


1. Low ambient pressure (Po<1013 mbar or < 750 mm Hg)
2. High ambient temperature (To>25°C)
3. Low LT-water temperature (TLT<30°)
4. Advanced injection timing (5°=0,3 bar)
5. Charge air or exhaust gas leakage
6. High exhaust gas back pressure (PATC>300 mm H2O)
