Two-Stroke
Diesel Engine
Blower/Supercharger
Pressurizes air to be forced in to cylinder at intake
Scavenging
Process forces fresh air in through intake port Simultaneously removes exhaust through open exhaust valve
Cylinder liner - bore in which piston moves Cylinder head - seals liner at combustion end Oil sump - reservoir containing lubricating oil
Piston pin - connect piston to connecting rod Connecting rod - reciprocating/rotating motion
connect piston to crankshaft
Moving Parts
Piston Piston Rings Piston Pin Connecting Rod
Camshaft and Cams Lifters, pushrods, and rocker arms Intake and exhaust valves.
Auxiliary Systems
Fuel System - deliver fuel to cylinders under specific conditions
quantity (vary with demand) equal distribution between/within cylinders timing (optimize power)
Ignition System
Auxiliary Systems
Cooling Systems
Remove heat not transformed to work in order to prevent LO breakdown, metal fatigue, stress Lubricating oil , Exhaust air, Freshwater, Seawater
Direct drive
No reduction or reverse gear
