CYLINDER OF THE ENGINE
The cylinder is the place where the combustiontakes place and it also serves as bearing andguides for the piston reciprocating in it.
Around the cylinder there is a passage for thecirculation of cooling water.
At the top of the cylinder is attached the cylinderhead which houses the valves and fuel injector.
The cylinder and its head are separated by agasket, which prevents the leakage of air andgases from the cylinder to the atmosphere.

FLY WHEEL
The flywheel is connected at the rear end of thecrankshaft.
It serves as a reservoir of energy.
As there is only one working stroke in two revolutions of
the crankshaft, the flywheel absorbs the excess energyduring the power stroke and gives out the absorbedenergy during the other three strokes.
Thus it is the flywheel, which keeps the crankshaftrotating at the uniform speed throughout.
The flywheel has teeth on its outer periphery, whichmesh with the pinion of the starter motor to start theengine.

VALVES
Inlet valve: This is
located in the cylinder
head and opens into
the cylinder against
the spring tension toallow the atmospheric
air into the cylinder
during intake stroke.
This is operated bythe rocker arm
through push rod and
cam of the camshaft.
Exhaust valve: Itopens during exhaust
stroke against the
spring tension to let
the burnt gases into
the atmosphere
through the exhaust
pipe.

-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
27/103
During the intake strokethe inlet valve is openedand the outlet valve isclosed
The piston movesdownward towards BDC.
The pressure drops in thecylinder and because ofthe low pressure the air
from the atmosphere issucked into the cylinder.
STROKE 1: INTAKE STROKE
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
28/103
STROKE 2: COMPRESSION
STROKE
The inlet valvecloses and thecylinder is filled
with air. The outletvalve remains inclosed condition.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
29/103
Piston moves upward to the TDC
and compresses the air. Thepressure in the cylinder
increases, the volume decreases
and the temperature increases.
The temperature of compressed
air goes up to 400C to 700C .
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
30/103
STROKE 3:POWER STROKE
The diesel is
injected or sprayed
into the cylinder in
misty form underhigh pressure at the
end of the
compression stroke.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
31/103
STROKE 3:POWER STROKE
The temperature of the air inside the cylinderis high enough to ignite the fuel andcombustion takes place.
The heat energy developed inside the
cylinder due to combustion leads to theexpansion of burnt gases and increase inpressure.
The high pressure of the burnt gases forces
the piston to BDC. In this stroke both the valves remain inclosed condition.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
32/103
STROKE 4: EXHAUST STROKE
The piston whichis at BDC, aftercompletion ofpower stroke,starts moving toTDC and theexhaust valveopens.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
33/103
STROKE 4: EXHAUST STROKE
The burnt gases discharge to theatmosphere under the upward thrust of thepiston through the exhaust valve.
The inlet valve remains in closed condition
during this stroke. The piston reaches to TDC and will be ready
for the next cycle of operation.
These four strokes produce two revolutions
of the crankshaft. This process, continuously, repeats itself
during the operation of the engine.

SYSTEMS IN DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel engine is mainly divided into four
systems in terms of regular maintenance, which
require frequent attention.
They are,1. Fuel system
2. Lubricating system.
3. Cooling system.4. Starting system- hand and electric.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
37/103
FUEL SYSTEM
This system pressurizes and injects the fuel.
In this way the fuel is forced into air, which has beencompressed to high pressure in the combustionchamber.
The diesel fuel injection system consists of a fuelinjection pump, an injection nozzle, a feed pump, a fuelfilter and a high-pressure pipe.
The fuel injection pump pressurizes fuel to high pressureand then sends it via the high-pressure pipe to theinjection nozzle, which injects the fuel into the cylinder.
The feed pump sucks the fuel from the fuel tank and thefuel filter of course filtrates the fuel.

ALTERNATOR
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
68/103
INTRODUCTION
Alternator is an AC generator which works
on principle of Electromagnetic induction.
It says that whenever a conductor cuts the
magnetic flux, an e.m.f. is always inducedin it.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF
AN ALTERNATOR
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
70/103
The operation of an AC generator(alternator) can be explained by a simpleloop of wire placed between the poles of apermanent magnet and made to rotate.
As the loop rotates, it passes through, or
cuts, the magnetic lines of force, and avoltage is developed in it. In a practicalgenerator, actually a series of largenumber of such loops contained in a rotor
or an armature produces e.m.f. largeenough to be practically useful.
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
71/103
Thus produced voltage is connected to the
external circuit through slip rings and
brushes.
The slip ring rotate as the loop rotates and
the brushes dont move but only stay in
contact with the rings by sliding along their
surface as they rotate.
GENERATING A SINE WAVE

GENERATING A SINE WAVE
OUTPUT
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
73/103
So for one full rotation, the generatedvoltage corresponds to 360 electrical
degrees. Thus for a simple two-pole generator, one
cycle of the sine wave output is generated
each time the loop makes one full rotation. The frequency of such a generator is the
same as the speed of rotation of the loop.
The magnitude of the peak voltageincreases with increase in the rate ofchange of flux linkage of the coil.

TYPES OF ALTERNATORS
-
7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt
75/103
The types of alternators are configured uponrelative motion between an electric conductor
and magnetic field. The relative motion can bebrought in three ways.
By moving conductors through a stationarymagnetic field, as in the rotating armaturealternator.
BY moving a magnetic field across stationaryconductors as in the rotating field armature.
By varying the intensity of the magnetic fieldsurrounding stationary conductors as in the
inductor alternator.

FREQUENCY, SPEED AND
POLES IN AN ALTERNATOR
f =2N/60
Let P= total number of magnetic poles
N=rotative speed of the rotor in r.p.m. F= frequency of generated e.m.f. in c/s.
Since one cycle of e.m.f is produced when apair
of poles passes past a conductor, the number ofcycles of e.m.f. produced in one revolution of the
rotor is equal to the number of pair of poles.

MAINTENANCE
General: The alternator should be stoppedand isolated from all supplies before
carrying out any maintenance on electrical
or rotating parts. It should be done asfollows-

91/103
1) Cleaning: The generator and excitation
unit should be periodically cleaned
internally by blowing out with a jet of dry
air and by wiping away any deposits of
grease and carbon dust with a clean dry
cloth .All nuts and screws should bechecked to ensure that they are tight,
especially the electrical connections.

2) Brushes: The brushes should beexamined initially after every 100 hours of
running to see that they are beddedproperly and are also not sticking to theirholders. The brushes should be checked
for correct pressure and it should bebetween 200 to 250 g/cm2. (Refer toinstruction manual) and should bereplaced before they are worn out to the
minimum permissible length.

3) Slip rings:
Periodical inspection of slip rings and the
spaces between the rings should be cleaned. Ifthere is any sign of blackening on the surfacesof the rings, the brush pressure should bechecked and readjusted .If badly blackened,the rings should be polished.
If pronounced flats have developed the ringsmust be skimmed and polished and thebrushes should be rebedded. Then clean themachine by a jet of dry air and polish before it
is put back into service.

4) Bearings:
Ball and roller bearings will run for longperiods without any attention as the
bearing housings are charged with right
quality and quantity of grease. Additional
grease is not required to be used untilafter each period of 2000 to 3000 hours of
running.
Lithium base grease conforming to grade3 of IS:1002-1956 is recommended.
