Horse Power
years ago , when engines were being
developed, their ability to do work was
compared with the ability of a horse.
A 10 hp engine, for example, could do the
work of 10 horses.
What is work?
work is changing of position of an object
against an opposing force.
distance times force equals works.
distance x force = work.
Unit of work : ft.lb or mkg.

General Definitions
Horsepower
This is the unit of power. Power is rate of
doing work.This defines how fast a tractor
can do the work.
1 HP = 1.014 PS
1 PS = 0.985 HP. 15
General Definitions
Low idle
Even to operate a engine without any load,
certain HP is required to run Water pump, Fuel
pump, Alternator, piston, timing gears, crank
shaft etc. Low idle is the RPM at which the
engine produces just enough HP to keep
rotating these units & sustain its motion without
vibration.
It is - no load, no speed situation & accelerator
pedal is not pressed.
16
General Definitions
High idle
It is maximum speed of engine at no load
condition. It is - no load & accelerator pedal
fully pressed situation.
For 245 engine - High idle is 2140 - 2190 rpm.
Rated RPM
It is the RPM at which the engine can take
maximum load. It is - full load & accelerator
pedal fully pressed situation.

General Definitions
TDC
Top Dead Centre - the
highest point the
piston reaches.
BDC
Bottom Dead Centre -
the lowest point the
piston reaches.
Bore
It is the Internal diameter of the liner.
Stroke
Length from BDC to TDC. 18
General Definitions
Swept Volume
Volume swept by
piston from BDC to
TDC.
Clearance Volume
Volume above the
piston crown { head }
when the piston is at
TDC.

General Definitions
Injection Timing
Theoretically, diesel is injected at TDC at the end of
Compression stroke.
But for complete burning of fuel, mixing of fuel with air
is very important. Moreover delivery of fuel also takes
some time.
So , to deliver the fuel in the cylinder & allow it to mix
with air properly, fuel is injected before end of
Compression Stroke at TDC.

General Definitions
Torque
Torque is twisting or turning effort. You
apply a torque to steering wheel to turn.
Do not confuse .
Torque is the twisting effort engine applies
through the shaft and gears to the wheels.
Power is the rate at which engine works. Both
work & power indicate motion.
Torque does not implies motion, it is a
turning effort which may or may not result in
motion.

Engine Block
Metal foundation
Supports crankshaft and usually camshaft made of
cast iron or aluminum, aluminum parts that wear will
have metal inserts that are pressed or cast into the
block.
Cylinder Sleeves
Round pipe like liners
Piston
Sliding plunger in cylinder creates vacuum on
intake stroke, compresses mixture on compression
stroke transmits and contains the pressure of the
firing stroke, cleans the cylinder of burned gases
on the exhaust stroke.
Piston Pins
Steel pin used to connect piston to connecting
rod
case hardened, soft center .004 outside
hardened highly polished
Piston materials
Aluminum - cast - most common,
Forged- found in hi-performance engines
Piston rings
