Parts of the marine diesel engine Below is a cross-sectional view of a Sulzer Main Diesel Engine and the names of the component parts. The starting air valve is used to lead highly compressed air to push the piston for turning the engine when starting. In this 2-stroke engine‚ the air intake and exhaust are taken into the engine cylinder liner through scavenging ports and exhaust ports. The cylinder head covers the top of the cylinder and houses the starting air valve‚ fuel valve or injector

Matt Bagley English 110 Process Essay Process of a 4-stroke Internal Combustion Engine A common phrase that is heard whilst growing up is "curiosity killed the cat". This phrase might be true but; "ingenuity brought the cat back". Having a mindset in which giving up is never an option has plagued most inventors of the modern day‚ especially a high school drop out named Nikolaus August Otto‚ born in 1832. Otto was responsible for the development and improvement of the 4-stroke motor that

| Starting air system for diesel engine - how it works Function of starting air system Diesel engines are started by supplying compressed air into the cylinders in the appropriate sequence for the required direction. A supply of compressed air is stored in air reservoirs or ’bottles’ ready for immediate use. Up to 12 starts are possible with the stored quantity of compressed air. The starting air system usually has interlocks to prevent starting if everything is not in order. A starting air system

in a fire department can determine the successful or unsuccessful outcome of an incident. As per Fire Engineering‚ “Over the past three decades‚ fire department response has expanded to include emergency medical services‚ terrorism response‚ hazardous materials response and mitigation‚ natural disaster response‚ specialized rescue‚ and responses to other community needs” (Wilson 89-90). In addition‚ “Minimum staffing has become one of the most controversial subjects in the history of the fire service"

Assignment: Guide to Fire Detection and Alarms Student Name MOS 5301‚ Fire Protection Technology Professor Dr. William Pessemier Columbia Southern University Introduction One of the most vital aspects of fire protection is to recognize a budding fire emergency as soon as possible‚ and to notify the facility’s tenants and proper emergency groups. This is the primary function of all fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the expected fire situation‚ structures

in inches of mercury (in. Hg). A quick snap of the throttle plate should drop the vacuum to around 5 in. Hg (inches of mercury)‚ and then it should recover to a steady 21 in. Hg. When this air is mixed with atomized fuel from the fuel injectors‚ engine speed is increased. It’s important to remember for every 1000 ft. of increase in altitude 1 in. Hg is subtracted from the reading. For instance‚ if specifications required 21 in. Hg at an altitude of 3000 ft. above sea level‚ a reading of 18 in. Hg
