The Main Parts of a Diesel Engine
The main parts of a diesel engine are: the cylinder, the piston, the connecting rod, the
crankshaft, valves or ports, the fuel pump and the nozzle.
In the cylinder the piston moves up and down and makes strokes. The piston is
connected to a mechanism which controls its motion and is called a crank mechanism. The
crank mechanism consists of a shaft which turns or revolves in bearings and has a crank
which turns in a circle when the shaft revolves, and a connecting rod which connects the
crank to the piston. Through the intake valves or ports air is delivered into the cylinder. A
spray nozzle or a fuel injector delivers fuel oil. It is injected in the form of a finely divided
spray by a pump which is called a fuel injection pump.

What Work the Parts of an Engine Perform
Now when we know the main parts of an engine we must learn what work each diesel
part performs.
The heart of an engine is the cylinder where the fuel is burnt and the power is
developed. The cylinder head closes the top end of the cylinder to make space where the air
is compressed and the gases are confined while they are burning and expanding.
The piston moves up and down in a cylinder. It compresses the air charge. When the
gases are burning and expanding the piston receives the pressure of the gases. The
connecting rod transmits the motion of the piston to the crankshaft. The main bearings
support the crankshaft and permit it to rotate. Valves or ports admit air and discharge the
burnt or exhaust gases. The frame and the bedplate are used to hold the cylinder, the
crankshaft and main bearings together.
The fuel injection pump is used to deliver fuel into the cylinder and the fuel injection
nozzle is used to divide the fuel into a fine spray as it enters the cylinder.

How a Diesel Engine Works
In the engines of four-stroke cycle there are four working strokes occupying two
complete revolutions of the crankshaft. These four strokes are:
The Intake Stroke. The piston is at the top of the cylinder (top dead centre t.d.c.)
being ready to take in a charge of air. The inlet valve is opened, the exhaust valve is closed.
The crankshaft is turning. Turning to the right and down, the shaft pulls down the
connecting rod and the rod pulls down the piston.
The piston goes down and takes in air into the cylinder through the intake valve. When
the piston comes to the bottom of its stroke (bottom dead centre - b.d.c.), the intake valve
closes. The cylinder is now full of fresh air.
The Compression Stroke. During this stroke the crankshaft is turning to the left and
upward. And the connecting rod pushes the piston upward. The piston moves upward
compressing the air charge. Since all valves are closed, the air doesn't escape. The air charge
is forced into a smaller space. This increases the pressure of the air and its temperature.
When the piston comes to the top centre, the air occupies only 1/16 of its original space and
its temperature rises to 1,000°F.
The Power Stroke. Now fuel oil is sprayed through the fuel injector into the hot
compressed air. The air is so hot that it automatically ignites the oil. The oil burns producing
more heat and pressure. This pressure pushes the piston down on the power stroke. The
piston goes down. The motion of the piston is transmitted by the connecting rod to the
crank. The force on the crank makes the crankshaft turn. Before the piston comes to the
bottom centre, the exhaust valve is opened. The burnt gases begin to escape through the
exhaust valve. This is the end of the power stroke.
The Exhaust Stroke. The cylinder is still full of burnt gases. When the piston rises it
pushes out the remaining gases through the exhaust valve. When the piston is at the top
center all the burnt gases are exhausted from the cylinder. The exhaust stroke is completed
and the engine is ready to begin another cycle.

The Work of a Two-Stroke Engine
A two-stroke cycle is completed in two strokes: the compression and the power strokes,
or one revolution of the crankshaft, while a four-stroke cycle has two revolutions. The
operations to remove the burnt gases and to fill the cylinder with a fresh charge of air in a
two-stroke engine are performed near the bottom dead centre by means of a separate air
pump or a blower, which takes in air from the atmosphere and delivers it into an air
chamber.
There are two exhaust valves in the cylinder head of a two-stroke engine instead of one
intake and one exhaust valves as it is in a four-cycle engine. To deliver air into the cylinder
a row of holes or ports is cut in the cylinder wall. These intake ports are closed by the piston
when it is at the top of its stroke but they are opened when the piston is near the bottom of
its stroke. The ports are connected to the blower outlet by the air chamber. When the piston
is at the bottom of its stroke the intake ports and the exhaust valves are open. A slightly
compressed air enters the cylinder through the intake ports and pushes out the burnt gases,
left from the previous cycle through the exhaust valves.
When the piston is about a quarter of the way up, the exhaust valves and the intake
ports are closed. The exhaust gases are blown out. Now the cylinder is full of fresh air. The
rest of the upward stroke is a compression stroke which compresses the air into a small
space at the top.
Before the piston reaches its top dead centre the fuel nozzle delivers a spray of fuel into
the chamber full of hot compressed air. Ignition and expansion take place as in a four-cycle
engine, and the piston goes down on its power stroke. When the piston is about three
quarters of the way down, the exhaust valves open and the burnt gases begin to escape. As
the piston continues to go down it opens the intake ports and fresh air is blown into the
cylinder.
This air, which has a slightly higher pressure than the hot gases in the cylinder, pumps
out the hot gases through the valves. This operation is called scavenging. The air which is
admitted is called scavenge air and the ports through which the scavenge air is admitted are
called scavenge ports.
After the operation of scavenging, the cylinder is full of fresh air, the piston is at the
bottom dead center and the cycle is completed, all in one revolution. The compression and
the power strokes of a two-cycle engine are not much different from the strokes of a four-
cycle engine. The exhaust and intake actions take place nearly together and in a much
shorter time.
In a two-cycle engine the piston cannot push the exhaust gases out, they are blown out
by the air under pressure. Air is not admitted into the cylinder by the piston, it is forced in.

Fuel Injection
The function of the fuel injection mechanism is to put the correct amount of fuel into
the cylinder of the engine at the proper time under the right pressure and to ensure good
mixing the air and the fuel for complete burning.
At present there are three principal methods of mechanical injection:
1. Direct injection or open combustion chamber method.
2. Pre-combustion chamber method.
3. Air turbulence method.
1. During the direct injection method the fuel is injected directly into the combustion
chamber through a spray nozzle and under sufficient pressure. It is done in order to carry the
fuel particles into the mass of the compressed air, the injector being fitted into the cylinder
head.
The loss of heat during the compression is a minimum, the delay combustion period
being short. This method of fuel injection gives better starting from the cold.
2. With a pre-combustion chamber method the cylinder head has a smaller combustion
chamber communicating with the cylinder head through a neck.
The compressed air circulates in this chamber, at a certain moment the fuel being
injected into the chamber. The fuel immediately begins to ignite. The mixture of burning
and unburnt fuel passes from the pre-combustion chamber into the cylinder through the
communicating neck.
3. The air turbulence method is used in several types of engines.
This method provides efficient atomizing and mixing the fuel particles with the air at
the end of the compression stroke. As the volume of the injected fuel is very small in
comparison with the volume of compressed air, the holes in the nozzle must be very fine and
numerous. The pressure required to obtain the necessary penetration of the fuel must be very
high and the sprays must have a sufficient depth of penetration to reach all the compressed
air in the cylinder head.

Combustion
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which certain elements of the fuel combine with
oxygen of the air increasing the temperature of the gases. The main combustible elements
are carbon and hydrogen. There are two general methods of burning the fuel in an engine
cylinder:
1. Combustion at constant volume and
2. Combustion at constant pressure.
Combustion at constant volume means that during combustion the volume doesn't
change and that all the heat energy developed by the fuel goes into an increase of the gas
temperature and pressure.
The rate of combustion is so high that the piston has no time to move during
combustion. Such combustion is obtained when the |piston is at the top center.
The advantage of this method is a high thermal efficiency. Its disadvantage is a sudden
increase of pressure and the resulting noisiness of the engine.
During combustion at constant pressure the temperature increases at such a rate that the
pressure increase counteracts the volume increase and the pressure doesn't change. The heat
energy generated by the fuel goes partly into an increase of the gas temperature and partly
into producing outside work.
During combustion at constant pressure the fuel is burnt gradually. The pressure
attained at the end of the compression stroke is maintained during the greater part of the
combustion event. Its advantage is smooth running and a more even torque produced by an
engine.
High-speed diesel engines operate on a cycle which is approximately a combination of
the above two methods.

Lubrication
The aim of lubrication is to make the rubbing surfaces operate with as little friction as
possible and so reduce wear to a minimum and obtain the maximum power out of the burnt
fuel. Good lubrication is one of the main factors for satisfactory engine work.
Every moving part must be lubricated to ensure a lasting oil film which prevents metal-
to-metal contact. There are three general methods of lubrication:
1. Mechanical force feed lubrication;
2. Circulating lubrication;
3. Splash lubrication.
During mechanical force feed lubrication oil is delivered to all points from one or more
mechanical lubricator units. The number of individual pumps in each unit is determined by
the number of points to be lubricated. At each feed point there is a check valve preventing
oil from draining or blowing back.
The second method of lubrication may be divided into lubrication by gravity and by
pressure circulation. Gravity lubrication is seldom used in modern engines. At present all
engines are lubricated by pressure circulation method. Pressure delivers oil to all bearings
and gears or chain-drivers. From the main bearing the oil passes through holes in the
crankshaft to the connecting rod bearings and through the connecting rod to the wrist pin or
crosshead.
During the splash lubrication method the crankcase is filled with oil. The rotating
cranks dip into the oil and spray it over bearings and cylinder walls. Valves and other parts
are lubricated by hand oiling, but cylinders are sometimes oiled by mechanical lubrication.

GRAMMAR EXERCISES
You have learned that the power of a diesel engine originates in the cylinder. Oil fuel is
sprayed into the cylinder by means of the pressure produced by the fuel-injection pump.
There it meets air which was compressed by the piston while the piston was being pushed
upward in the cylinder. The oil burns, producing heat and more pressure. The hot confined
gases press the piston downward with greater force than was used to push it upward. The
piston, in turn, pushes on the connecting rod which connects the piston to the crank on the
crankshaft. The force on the crank makes the crankshaft turn in its bearings, and the rotating
crankshaft supplies power to whatever machinery the engine drives. This is the way in
which the diesel engine changes the heat energy of oil into mechanical power.
Now let’s note what essential parts the engine must have to carry out these operations.
The essential parts and the work that each performs are as follows:
1. A piston is sliding in a cylinder. The piston performs the following work: first, to
compress the air charge, second, to receive the pressure of the gases while they are burning
and expanding.
2. A cylinder head which closes the top end of the cylinder so as to make a confined
space in which to compress the air and to confine the gases while they are burning and
expanding.
3. Valves or ports to admit the air and to discharge the spent or exhaust gases.
4. Connecting rod to transmit force in either direction from the piston to the crank on
the crankshaft.
5. Crankshaft and the main bearings which support the crankshaft and permit it to
rotate.
6. A supporting structure to hold the cylinders, crankshaft, and main bearings in firm
relation to each other. This structure is usually made up of two parts, called frame and
bedplate.
7. Fuel-injection pump to force the oil into the cylinder also fuel-injection nozzle to
break up the oil into a fine spray as it enters the cylinder.
8. Camshaft, driven by the crankshaft, to operate the fuel-injection pump and also to
open the valves (in engines which use valves).
9. Flywheel, to store up surplus energy on the power stroke and to return that energy
when the piston is pushed upward on the compression stroke.
10. Governor or throttle, to regulate the amount of fuel supplied at each stroke, and
thus control the engine speed and power.
11. Blower, to force air into the cylinder of two cycle engines.
12. Miscellaneous parts, such as piping to supply air and remove exhaust gases,
lubricating system to lubricate the moving parts, water jacket to cool the cylinder.
Words
The cyclic sequence of events in a diesel engine is: 1) filling the engine cylinder with
fresh air; 2) compression of the air charge in order to raise its pressure and temperature to
that necessary to ignite and burn the fuel efficiently; 3) combustion of the fuel and
expansion of the hot gases; and 4) emptying the cylinder of the burned gases by exhausting
them. When these four events are completed, the cycle is repeated. When each of these
events takes place during one stroke of the piston, the cycle is called a four-stroke cycle.
Piston Dead Centre. The positions of the piston when it is nearest to the cylinder head
and farthest away from it are called top and bottom dead center, respectively, or for short,
top and bottom center, indicated t.c. and b.c. The reason for this designation is that at these
positions the connecting rod center-line coincides with the crank-throw center-line and the
piston cannot be moved by gas pressure acting upon its surface. The motive force must
come from the rotating crank acting through the connecting rod.
Main Events. During the first or suction stroke the piston moves downward, pulled by
the connecting rod the lower end of which is moved by the crank. The piston motion creates
a vacuum in the cylinder, and outside air is drawn or sucked into the cylinder through the
intake valve which opens at about the beginning of the suction stroke and stays open until
the piston reaches the lower or bottom center.
When the piston has passed b.c., the second or compression stroke begins. The intake
valve is closed and upward motion of the piston pushed by the crank and the connecting rod
begins to compress the air charge in the cylinder.
Shortly before the piston reaches the top center, t.c., liquid fuel in a finely atomized
spray is admitted into the cylinder containing hot compressed air. The fuel is ignited by the
heat of the air compressed in the cylinder and burns during the first part of the downward
piston stroke. During this downward or third stroke, called working or power stroke, the hot
gases whose pressure was considerably increased by the combustion of fuel charge, force
the piston downward and expand due to the increasing cylinder volume.
Shortly before the piston reaches the bottom center, the exhaust valve opens and the
hot products of the combustion, having a relatively high pressure in spite of the previous
expansion, begin to rush out through the exhaust ports into the outside atmosphere. During
the following fourth or exhaust stroke, the piston moves upward, pushed by the crank and
connecting rod, expelling the remaining products of combustion, until near the top center the
exhaust valve is closed, the intake valve is opened, and the whole cycle starts again. As can
be seen, the four strokes require two engine revolutions. Thus in a four-stroke cycle engine,
one power stroke is obtained for every two engine revolutions, or the number of power
impulses per min. is equal to one half of the rpm of the engine.

Fuel Injection and Combustion
The fuel is delivered into the cylinder either by highly compressed air at a pressure of
about 1,000 lbs per sq.in. or by the pumps themselves working at from 4,000 to 20,000 lbs
per sq.in. Before the fuel enters the cylinder it is atomized so that it ignites and burns upon
coming into contact with the hot air.
The air necessary to bring about combustion in four-cycle engines is either drawn
directly from the atmosphere during the intake stroke of the cycle, or supplied to the
cylinder under pressure of about 4 lbs per square inch by pumps. The former are called
atmospherically charged engines and the latter – supercharged engines. Combustion of the
fuel is brought about by the highly compressed air. Approximately 14 pounds of air is
required for the combustion of 1 pound of fuel oil. However, to ensure complete combustion
of the fuel an excess amount of air is always supplied to the cylinders.
The ratio of the amount of air supplied to the quantity of fuel injected during each
power stroke is called the air-fuel ratio and is very important in the operation of any internal
combustion engine. When the engine is operating at light loads there is a very large excess
of air, but even when the engine is overloaded there is an excess of air over the minimum
required for complete combustion.
In order to accomplish complete combustion of the fuel each of the small fuel particles
must be surrounded by sufficient air and the air in the cylinder must be in motion. This is
called turbulence. In the air- injection engine the sprayed air creates the necessary
turbulence in the cylinder. However, in mechanical injection engines some other means
must be provided.
In two-stroke cycle engines the scavenging air may be admitted to the cylinder with a
whirling motion in order to create the necessary turbulence. The following conditions are
necessary for good combustion:
a) The fuel must enter the cylinder at the proper time. That is, the fuel-injection valve
must be opened and closed in correct relation to the position of the piston.
b) The fuel must enter the cylinder in a fine mist or fog. The finer the atomization of
the fuel and the higher the temperature, the sorter is the ignition delay period.
c) The fuel must be mixed intimately with the air which supports its combustion.
d) Sufficient air must be present to ensure complete combustion.
e) The temperature of compression must be sufficient to ignite the fuel.
