CHAPTER 3
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
Again, the study reference is CHAPMAN’S and the
AUXILIARY study guide.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION
ENGINES
DEFINITION: BOTH DIESEL AND GAS;
CHANGE OR CONVERT HEAT ENERGY INTO
WORK BY BURNING FUEL IN A CLOSED
COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THE PISTONS USE
AN UP-AND-DOWN MOTION. THUS, THEY
ARE CLASSIFIED AS “RECIPROCATING”
ENGINES.
IGNITION PRINCIPLES
GASOLINE ENGINES
1. Uses SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM”
2. Called a “SPARK IGNITION ENGINE”.
3. Fuel and air mixed in a carburetor – ( Injection chamber if fuel
injected).
4. Fuel drawn into cylinders.
5. Fuel/air mixture ignited by electric spark from sparkplug(s).
IGNITION PRINCIPLES
DIESEL ENGINES
1. Engine takes atmospheric air and compresses it in cylinder
head.
2. Injects fuel into combustion space ( cylinder head)
3. Fuel injectors. NO carburetors
4. Require extremely CLEAN fuel to properly ignite
5. Compression heating ignites fuel
6. NO SPARK PLUGS
OPERATING CYCLE
1. All reciprocating engines have definite operating cycle
2. Either 2-Stroke or 4-Stroke
3. STROKE: Up or Down movement of piston
4. Each PISTON completes 2 strokes for each revolution
of the crankshaft.
OPERATING CYCLE
FOUR STROKE (CYCLE)
1. Each piston goes through 4-strokes
2. Crankshaft has 2 revolutions / one cycle
3. One power stroke per 2 revolutions of crank shaft
THE OPERATING CYCLE
4-STROKES
1. INTAKE
2. COMPRESSION
3. POWER
4. EXHAUST
OPERATING CYCLE
INTAKE STROKE
1.
Intake valve open.
2. Exhaust valve closed.
3. PISTON: Moving DOWN.
4. FUEL/AIR MIXTURE: Drawn IN through intake valve.
OPERATING CYCLE
COMPRESSION STROKE
1. Both INTAKE and EXHAUST valves CLOSED.
2. PISTON moving UP.
3. Fuel/air mixture is COMPRESSED.
4. Ignition Spark and Compression heating ignites
mixture.
OPERATING CYCLE
POWER STROKE
1. INTAKE and EXHAUST valves are CLOSED
2. PISTON moving DOWN
3. CRANKSHAFT TURNS.
4. POWER stroke only time power is translated to
crankshaft.
OPERATING CYCLE
EXHAUST STROKE
1. EXHAUST valve OPEN
2. INTAKE valve CLOSED
3. PISTON moving UP
THIS ENDS THE 4-STROKE CYCLE
The piston immediately starts down again and the cycle
process starts over.
OPERATING CYCLE
TWO STROKE
1. DIESEL ENGINES ARE MOSTLY TWO STROKE
2. GASOLINE ENGINES MOSTLY LIMITED TO
OUTBOARDS
3. HAS ONE COMPRESSION AND ONE POWER
STROKE
OPERATING CYCLE
TWO STROKE (DIESEL)
1. ONE power stroke for each revolution of the crankshaft
2. TWICE as many power strokes as in the four-stroke engine.
3. Cylinder has exhaust valve but NO INTAKE VALVE.
4. Air comes in through PORTS in cylinder wall
5. 2-STROKE DIESELS GIVE EXCELLENT SERVICE
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS
UNIT INJECTOR and COMMON RAIL
1. UNIT INJECTOR: Cylinder and plunger in cylinder
head, sprays or squirts fuel into combustion chamber,
for ignition. Fuel is INDUCTED from fuel tank to fuel
injectors under pressure from a pump.
2. COMMON RAIL: Most commonly used. One pump for
all cylinders. Fuel under pressure from tank to cylinder.
DRAWBACKS: System must be purged of all air until
only fuel comes out. Time consuming, awkward and
messy.
CARBURETOR
1. A device used to send a fine spray of fuel into a moving
stream of air through the intake valves into the
combustion chamber in the cylinder head of the engine.
2. On gasoline engines, used to control the fuel/air
mixture.
OPERATING CYCLE
COMPRESSION RATIOS
1. With compression ratio in diesel of 14:1, cylinder head
temperature ~ 1000ºF. This heat ignites the fuel mixture
without the spark plug ignition.
2. Diesel compression ration are close to 14: 1 to 16: 1
3. Gas compression ratios are close to 4: 1` to 8: 1
POWER SYSTEM
Includes the CYLINDERS, PISTONS, CONNECTING
RODS AND CRANKSHAFT
POWER SYSTEM
CYLINDERS – PISTONS - CRANKSHAFTS
1. PISTONS: Move up and down in the cylinder; attached
to the crankshaft and transmits power to the crankshaft
.
2. CYLINDERS: Cast in a single engine block with a
hardened sleeve alloy sleeve to reduce wear.
3. CRANKSHAFT: Changes the reciprocating motion of
the piston and rods into rotary motion of the crankshaft
which turns the propeller.
POWER SYSTEM
VALVE and CAMSHAFT
1. VALVES: Opened by a CAMSHAFT which is driven
by a CRANKSHAFT.
2. Let fresh air in. Allow combustion gasses to vacate.
3. CAMSHAFT: Changes rotary to intermittent
reciprocating motion.
POWER SYSTEM
AIR
1. 4-STROKE (Cycle): Air enters INTAKE VALVE.
2. 2-Stroke (Cycle): Air enters PORTS in cylinder wall.
POWER SYSTEM
LUBRICATION
VITAL TO THE HEALTH OF THE ENGINE
1. Delivers oil to moving parts to assist in engine cooling
and reducing friction.
2. Uses a PUMP and FILTER to cleanse and deliver
COOLING SYSTEM
WATER and AIR
1. WATER: Holding tank, circulating pump and radiator
to get rid of the heat in the water.
2. Both SEA and FRESH water are used.
3. FRESH water used with self-contained system.
4. SEA water straight from the environment.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
1. GENERATOR/ALTERNATOR: Produces the electrical current
to operate the vessel’s system and charge the battery.
2. VOLTAGE REGULATOR: Controls the voltage from the
generator/alternator
3. CUT OUT: Keeps the battery from discharging through the
alternator/generator at low speeds.
4. STARTER: An electric motor. Diesel may have separate starter
motor.
5. Battery: Diesels require TWICE the power of gas engines.
6. Wiring harness: Carries the electrical current.
IGNITION SYSTEM(S)
1. Ignition COIL
2. Mechanical Breaker
3. Condenser
4. Distributor
5. Spark Plug(s)
6. Switch
7. Wiring
IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS
1. IGNITION COIL: The generated power source (FOR THE SPARK IN
THE SPARK PLUG)
2. MECHANICAL BREAKER(POINTS): Break the current at
proper time
3. CONDENSER: Prevents “arcing” when the points are open.
4. DISTRIBUTOR: Serves as a “selector switch” to distribute the
current to the individual spark plugs (gas engine only)
5. SPARK PLUG(S): ( Gasoline engines only)Provided the “fire” to
ignite the fuel in the combustion chamber. (Spark comes from the
COIL, NOT the battery)
