1. “DIESEL ENGINE” A SUMMER TRAINING PRESENTATION ON

2. What is an engine?
An engine is a device which transform the chemical energy from fuel supply into thermal energy which is used to produce mechanical power.

3. CLASSIFICATION OF ENGINE
EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
- STEAM ENGINE PETROL ENGINE
- DIESEL ENGINE

4. Diesel Engines
Internal Combustion engine operates using diesel cycle manufactured in two stroke and four stroke versions

5. 4 STROKE DIESEL ENGINE
This is a simplified model of a single cylinder Diesel engine to show the principal parts, their relationships to each other and how the engine works.
Is not based on any real engine, but is generally representative of real engines. Most real engines are made up of several of this unit sharing a single flywheel and cam shaft drive e.g. Three, four and six cylinder engines.
Many minor details and some components are left out for clarity, for example the bearings, exhaust pipe silencer, air intake filter and the fuel injection pump.

7. CYLINDER AND CYLIDER HEAD
CYLINDER- Cylinder, a large round hole bored straight and parallel through the Block
CYLINDER HEAD The Cylinder Head sits on the top of the Block to close off the top of the Cylinder. It also carries the Valves, Fuel Injector and the Inlet and Exhaust passages

8. PISTON AND PISTON RINGS
Piston- the part of the engine that moves up and down in the cylinder converting the gasoline into motion
PISTON RINGS- The Piston Rings fit in grooves on the Piston. They seal the Piston to be ‘gas tight’ in the Cylinder of the Block

9. CONNECTING ROD
The Connecting Rod is inserted into a large recess in the bottom of the Piston
The Piston is attached to swivel on the ‘little end’ of the Connecting Rod by the Gudgeon Pin through the side of the Piston.
The ‘Big end’ of Connecting Rod fits onto the ‘throw’ of the Crank Shaft
The Connecting Rod connects the linear ‘up and down’ motion of the Piston within the Cylinder with the circular rotary motion of the Crank Shaft.

Big End

10. VALVES
One set of a Cam and a Valve controls the Inlet flow of fresh air into the Cylinder. The other set controls the burnt Exhaust Gases out of the Cylinder. Both these Valves are spring loaded to shut and seal the Cylinder during the Compression and Power strokes. They open into the Cylinder, so that they are held closed by the high pressures during the Compression and Power strokes.

11. FUEL INJECTOR
The Fuel Injector is connected to a high pressure pump that is not illustrated.
It sprays a small amount of diesel fuel into the Cylinder at the end of the Compression Stroke and beginning of the Power Stroke.
The fuel is sprayed through several very small holes at very high pressure in order to form a fine mist of droplets of fuel that will ignite easily and burn quickly in the hot air
Nozzle tip with several small holes for fuel spray

12. Camshafts turn at one half crankshaft speed.
Camshafts can be driven with a gear, chain and sprocket, or toothed belt.
Camshafts have one lobe for each valve.

13. ONE CYCLE OF DIESEL ENGINE COMPLETES IN FOUR STROKES-
WORKING OF DIESEL ENGINE
ONE CYCLE OF DIESEL ENGINE COMPLETES IN FOUR STROKES-
1.SUCTION OR INTAKE STROKE
2.COMPRESSION STROKE
3.EXPANSION OR POWER STROKE
4.EXHAUST STROKE

14. Intake Stroke Piston moves from TDC to BDC
creating vacuum in the cylinder
Intake valve opens allowing only
air to enter the cylinder and
exhaust valve remains closed

15. Compression Stroke Both valves stay closed
Piston moves from BDC to TDC,
compressing air to 22:1
Compressing the air to this extent
increases the temperature inside the
cylinder to above 1000 degree F.

16. Power Stroke Both valves stay closed When the piston is at the end of
compression stroke(TDC) the injector
sprays a mist of diesel fuel into the
cylinder.
When hot air mixes with diesel fuel
an explosion takes place in the cylinder
Expanding gases push the piston
from TDC to BDC

17. Exhaust Stroke Piston moves from BDC to TDC
Exhaust valve opens and the
exhaust gases escape
Intake valve remains closed

19. Inlet Valve opening and closing :
VALVE TIMING DIAGRAM
Inlet Valve opening and closing :
In an actual engine , the inlet valve begins to open 5°C to 20 °C before the piston reaches the TDC during the end of exhaust stroke. This is necessary to ensure that the valve will be fully open when the piston reaches the TDC. If the inlet valve is allowed to close at BDC , the cylinder would receive less amount of air than its capacity and the pressure at the end of suction will be below the atmospheric pressure . To avoid this the inlet valve is kept open for 25° to 40°after BDC.
Exhaust valve opening and closing :
Complete clearing of the burned gases from the cylinder is necessary to take in more air into the cylinder . To achieve this the exhaust valve is opens at 35° to 45° before BDC and closes at 10° to 20° after the TCC. It is clear from the diagram , for certain period both inlet valve and exhaust valve remains in open condition.
Fuel valve opening and closing :
The fuel valve opens at 10° to 15 °before TDC and closes at 15° to 20 ° after TDC . This is because better evaporation and mixing fuel.

20. Cetane Number and Fuel Stability
• Measures the readiness of a fuel to auto-ignite.
• High cetane means the fuel will ignite quickly at the conditions in the engine (does not mean the fuel is highly flammable or explosive).
• Most fuels have cetane numbers between 40 and 60.
• ASTM D 975 requires a minimum cetane number of 40 (so does EPA for on-highway fuel).
Fuel Stability-
• Fuel will undergo chemical degradation if in contact with oxygen for long periods or
at high temperatures.
• There is no method specified in ASTM D975 for diesel fuels.
• ASTM D 2274 is most commonly referenced.
• FIE/OEM have a strong interest in stability

21. Turbochargers & Superchargers
• Increase or compress more air to be delivered to each engine
cylinder
• Superchargers: mechanically driven from engine crankshaft
• Turbochargers: driven by waste exhaust gases
• increased air mass improves the engine's thermal efficiency (fuel
economy) and emissions performance, depending on other factors.
• Turbochargers must operate at high temperatures and high
rotational speeds.
• Variable Geometry Turbochargers
