Diesel oil steam boiler set there are many other auxiliaries attached to at diesel power station.
Diesel power station Fuel Supply System
In fuel supply system there are one storage tank, where oil in stored. Strainer : This oil then pump to dry tank, by means of transfer pump.
During transferring from main tank to smaller dry tank, the oil passes through strainer to remove solid impurities. From dry tank to main tank, there is another pipe connection. This is over flow pipe. This pipe connection is used to return the oil from dry tank to main tank in the event of over flowing. From dry tank the oil is injected in the diesel engine by means of fuel injection pump.
Air Intake System
This system supplies necessary air to the engine for fuel combustion. It consists of a pipe for supplying of fresh air to the engine. Filters are provided to remove dust particles from air.
Exhaust System
The exhaust gas is removed from engine, to the atmosphere by means of an exhaust system. A silencer is normally used in this system to reduce noise level of the engine.
Cooling System
The heat produced due to internal combustion, drives the engine. But some parts of this heat raise the temperature of different parts of the engine. High temperature may cause permanent damage to the machine. Hence, it is essential to maintain the overall temperature of the engine to a tolerable level. Cooling system of diesel power station does exactly so. The cooling system requires a water source, water source, water pump and cooling towers. The pump circulates water through cylinder and head jacket. The water takes away heat from the engine and it becomes hot. The hot water is cooled by cooling towers and is re-circulated for cooling. Lubricating System
This system minimizes the water of rubbing surface of the engine. Here lubricating oil is stored in main lubricating oil tank. This lubricating oil is drawn from the tank by means of
