1、ThemarineDieselengine 中文翻译 The marine Diesel engine Authored by: Martin LeducHeat engines are sometimes referred to as being motors. Actually, a motor converts one form of energy into useful work without the intentional production of heat, such as an electric motor. A device which burns fuel creatin

2、g heat to perform work is a heat engine. Heat engines can be classified as external combustion, such as steam boiler, or internal combustion (IC). They can further be divided into the spark ignited (SI) engine or the compression ignited engine (CI). The particular heat engine we are interested about

3、 with this webpage, is the Compression Ignited heat engine. This style of engine has been most famously referred to as the Diesel engine, named after its inventor, Rudolph Diesel.The compression ignited internal combustion engine has two main designs: the four stroke cycle, and the two stroke cycle

4、engine. They are both very common throughout the world because of their high efficiency - compare with other types of heat engines. They burn a wide variety of hydrocarbon fuel, which is still common. Heavy fuel oil, intermediate fuel oil and marine diesel oil are the most common hydrocarbon fuel. T

5、he two stroke and four stroke titles refers to the mechanical action of the machinery, in particular the piston within the cylinder, to achieve the theoretical Carnot heat cycle, as define by the laws of thermodynamics.Diesel engines are furthermore sub-divided into three categories: slow, medium an

6、d high speed. Slow speed are considered to be up to 300 rpm such as most big two stroke engines commonly found on ships. Medium speed engines dwell in the 300 - 900 rpm range. They are most common on smaller ships and power plants driving electrical generators and / or the propeller. High speed engi

7、nes are the most common. Their high revolutions are ideal for driving vehicles such as busses and yachts. All Diesel trucks and vehicles on our roads use this class of Diesels, having an rpm over 900. The two stroke engine.It takes two strokes to complete a power cycle: one stroke down, one stroke u

8、p, resulting in one turn of the crankshaft. As oppose to the four stroke which must see the piston perform four strokes and two crank rotations, in order to achieve one cycle. The power stroke occurs at every down stroke which would lead us to believe the two stroke to be twice as efficient. On larg

9、e plants, the two stroke is about 1.8:1 more powerful than a four stroke engine of similar weight. On smaller application, i.e. a bus, the power/pound gap closes, and the effective horsepower of similar sized engines will be about the same for the two and four stroke.The two stroke is most commonly

10、seen in application demanding a large power output, such as ships and electric generation plants. In the world of ships, these engines are large, especially tall; this is to accommodate the long stroke engine designers have come up with to increase the efficiency of the power stroke. Additionally, t

11、he large physical size of these power plants tends to slow them down.This slow speed, around 100 rpm, has two benefits to an owner of a ships. The first, probably the most important, allows the engine to burn heavy fuel oil (HFO) efficiently. Although, the black, tar like substance can be used as fu

12、el in both the four stroke and two stroke engine. This fuel is much cheaper, currently around $150USD/ton, compared to the ordinary refined diesel fuel oil (MDO), with the cost being around $300USD/ton.Slow speed, also allows a direct coupling of the propeller shaft to the crankshaft, eliminating th

13、e need for gearing and such. The reduction of associated gear serves to increase their power to weight ratio which usually equates to lower cost. Additionally, the two stroke engines have a less complicated design, namely no intake valves, this reduce the possibility of things failing. These attribu

14、tes give the two stroke engine advantages over the four strokes, making it engine of choice for almost all large deep sea ships.The most prominent builders of large, slow speed, two stroke engine are Sulzer of Switzerland, producer of the first big two stroke design, and Burmeister & Wain (B&W) of D

15、enmark, the pioneers of the engines application to ship design. Other manufacturer also produce these types of engine, such as Kawasaki (Japan), Hyundai (Korea) and Fincantieri Naval (Italy) to name a few. Most shipbuilder build the Sulzer or B&W engines under license. To the land-lubber, the bigges

16、t builder of two stroke engine is the Detroit Diesel Corporation, now owned by Daimler Chrysler. Gee Mees, as they are commonly known, can be found extensively in transit busses, fire trucks and many military applications. EMD, another division of General Motors, also builds two stroke engine which

17、are very common on the North American coast and in locomotives. Two stroke engine have a wide variety of power output from the 353 Detroit Diesel with an output of less than 75 kW to a Sulzer RT-flex96C producing a 80,080 kW or about 109,000 bhp from fourteen cylinders turning at 102 rpm, not to be

18、outdone MAN B&W has come out with the K108ME-C. This things is un-precedent big ! Like the Sulzer, its a 14 cylinder, but the bore, the area of the top of the piston, is 108cm, thats over a meter wide. It can produce a mind numbing 97,300 kW, over 130,000 hp, turning a propeller of almost 30 feet wi

19、de at 94 rpm. Both these engines are develop to power the latest and largest container ships, expected to carry 10,000 to 12,000 teu, or about 6000 tractor trailer trucks.The components.The heart of the two stroke engine comprises of a cylinder liner with inlet ports about 2/3 of the distance from t

20、he top of the liner. The cylinder head, also know as cylinder cover, contain the exhaust valves) (pictured above). The piston within the cylinder is connected to the crankshaft by the connecting rod. On the larger engines, the power is transmitted to a cross head assembly first. The cross head slide

21、 up and down with the piston and transmit power from it to the connecting rod and crankshaft.The two stroke engine is not a naturally aspirated engine. It depends a positive charge of air to fill and scavenge the cylinder. This is provided by a blower which charges the air box. The blower can be mec

22、hanically driven, such as on the Gee Mees or electric motor driven on the bigger engines. Most engines nowadays are supercharged (turbocharger) as well.The chain reaction.Describing the action of the piston within the cylinder generally start with the piston in the bottom dead center position (BDC),

23、 at the end of its travel downward before its travel upwards. With the piston, having covered the intake ports, travels upwards, compressing the trapped air from its original volume to a fraction of it, generally anywhere from 17:1 to 23:1 (gas engines are about 9:1) to about 42 bars (600psi). The a

24、irs volume reduction crushes the air molecule together and as a result they build up heat.Slightly before top dead center (TDC), around 10 degrees, injection of atomized fuel begins, it burns, ignited by the high temperature from to the air being compressed. Injection last about 30 degrees, this var

25、ies depending on load. The fuel continues to burn and expands which increases the pressure and temperature within the cylinder. Around 15 degrees after TDC, combustion is complete and maximum pressure is reached within the cylinder, this stage is commonly called Pmax. Pmax is anywhere between 180 ba

26、rs to 195 bars (2500 - 2800 psi); this is why Diesel engine construction is so robust, it is to withstand this pressure. Two stroke engine timing diagram Said two stroke engine is a timing diagram 1-2fuel injector, 2-3 power stroke, 3-5 exhaust phase, 4-6 intake phase,6-1compression strokeThe pressu

27、re force acts upon the area of the piston crown, pushing it down. This downward force is transmitted to the crankshaft by the connecting rod, transforming it into a rotational force. About 45 degrees before BDC and just prior to uncovering the inlet ports near the bottom of the cylinder, the exhaust

28、 valve open, releasing the pressure in the cylinder. The exhaust gases at this stage are about 600 degrees.The continued downward travel of the piston uncovers the inlet ports, where positively charged air, 30-70 kPa (3-4 psi), provides a scavenging effect to drive exhaust gases out through the exha

29、ust valve. This action not only clears the cylinder of spent gases but also cools the cylinder. Around 35 degrees after BDC the exhaust valve closes, and at 50 degrees after BDC the inlet ports are covered (closed).With the inlet ports being covered by the upward traveling piston, the compression stroke begins again with a fresh charge of air. Thus the two stroke earns its name, one downwards (power stroke) and the upward stroke (compression stroke) complete one cycle.The above process is best illustrated by the following diagram
