➢Features
➢Performance and economy
➢Conclusion
➢The six-stroke engine is a type of internal
combustion engine based on the four-stroke
engine.

➢First developed in early 1990’s

➢Advancement is the Duel fuel six stroke

diesel engine

➢More efficient & reduce emissions.

➢ Approaches for six stroke engine design

First approach
There is two additional strokes by the
main piston as fifth and sixth stroke
Second approach
It uses a second opposed piston which
moves at half the cyclical rate of the main
piston

➢Lower maintenance costs
due to less wearing parts
(cylinder head)

➢Longer service intervals

possible due to lower
operating temperatures
recorded

➢Increase in thermal
efficiency by more than 20%

➢Reduced fuel consumption

bi’ [MJ/KW-h] 7.51 6.61 6.37
(% improvement) (12.0%) (15.2%)
➢Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%
➢Two expansions(work/Power stroke) in six strokes
➢Dramatic reduction in pollution ( up to 65%)
➢Higher overall efficiency
➢Lower engine temperature & noise level
➢Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved
➢Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle
➢Less inertia due to lightness of moving parts
➢Brake power & indicated power per cycle per
cylinder is comparatively lesser

➢Engine size increases due to many number of

cylinders & additional components

➢Higher manufacturing cost of six stroke engine

➢Automobiles, heavy goods, construction-site and
farm vehicles.

➢motor-pumps, generator sets, stationary engines,

etc....intended for agriculture and industry.

➢Motorboats
➢Drastically reducing fuel consumption (by 40%) and
pollution (by 60-90%) without radically affecting
performances
➢For the dual fuel six-stroke engine, soot & nitrous oxide was
practically eliminated by a small amount of methanol in the
second combustion process.
➢It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases
in the overall efficiency.
