    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.

    PISTON AND PISTON RINGS

    It is cylindrical inshape and movesinside the cylinder.

    It is connected to theconnecting rodthrough Gudgeonpin.

    Piston rings areprovided on its topouter surface.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    16/103

    CONNECTING ROD

    It connects piston to the

    crank shaft. Gudgeon pin

    is used to connect with

    piston.

    Small bearing end is

    connected to piston and

    large bearing end is

    connected to crank shaft.

    It transmits the motion ofthe piston to the crank

    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.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    21/103

    OIL SUMP

    The lubricating oil sump is located at the

    bottom of the crankcase and surrounds

    the crankshaft. It contains some amount of

    lubricating oil, which collects at the bottomof the sump.

    Oil is supplied to all the moving parts of

    the engine by the oil pump that is locatedin the sump.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    22/103

    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.

    FUEL INJECTOR

    It receives the high-

    pressure fuel from the

    fuel injection pump

    (plunger pump) andsprays into the

    cylinder in misty form

    through nozzle, when

    the piston is at TDCduring compression

    stroke.

    FOUR STROKES IN DISEL

    ENGINE

  • 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.

    FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    39/103

    FUNCTIONS OF THE SYSTEM

    The fuel injection system has

    four functions:

    1. Feeding the fuel,2. Adjusting the fuel quantity,

    3. Adjusting injection timing and4. Atomizing the fuel.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    40/103

    LUBRICATING SYSTEM

    Function:- To reduce the heat caused byfriction.

    All moving parts are lubricated.

    The lubricating system consists of:-

    a) Oil sump.b) Oil pump .

    c) Relief valve.

    d) Oil filter.

    e) Lubricating oil.

    COOLING SYSTEM

    FUNCTIONS:-

    1. To cool the engine,

    2. To ensure that the working temperature

    of the engine is maintained within limits. TYPES:-

    a) Air cooling.

    b) Water cooling.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    43/103

    AIR COOLING

    Effective cooling

    surface area is

    increased by

    providing fins over thecylinder.

    Air is blown on the

    fins by a fan to cool

    the engine,

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    44/103

    WATER-COOLING SYSTEM

    A centrifugal water

    pump mounted on the

    engine and driven by

    a vee belt driven fromthe crankshaft. The

    water pump pulley

    has a provision for

    mounting the fan.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    45/103

    The water is drawn from the bottom of the

    tank by the water- circulating pump. Thecooling water then passes through theengine jackets, absorbs the heat of theengine and gets hot.

    The hot water enters the top of the radiatorand passes through the finned tubes to thebottom.

    An airflow provided by the fan cools thewater by absorbing the heat as it passesthrough the tubes.

    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

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    69/103

    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

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    72/103

    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.

    RECTIFIER SET

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    86/103

    RECTIFIER SET

    The rectifiers unit is incorporated with thegenerator to rectify the generated output & togive supply to the self excited electromagnetic

    field of the stator. The unit has a full waverectifier.

    The input of this bridge rectifier is given from theoutput of the generator through the adjustable

    field rheostat housed in the termination box toprovide the excitation current to the field coil forsufficient field strength.

    THE STATOR

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    87/103

    THE STATOR

    It consists of an outer frame, the field pole,and field coil, which serve as

    electromagnet.

    The field coils are wounded on the polepieces and they may be energized from an

    external DC source (separate excitation)

    or self-excitation, here field winding isexcited by its own armature winding.

    ROTOR

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    88/103

    ROTOR

    The rotating part of the alternator is therotor, which is laminated and

    accommodates the generator winding in

    its slots on the outer surface. The windingsare terminated on slip rings. When an

    external load is not connected to the slip

    rings, the windings will be as an opencircuit and if an external load is connected

    it is said to be a closed circuit.

    90/103

    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-

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    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.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    92/103

    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.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    93/103

    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.

  • 7/28/2019 DG SET.ppt

    94/103

    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.
