This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the various parts and components that constitute a diesel engine. From the fundamental components like the cylinder block, pistons, and crankshaft to the intricate systems such as fuel injection, turbocharging, and cooling, each element is explored in detail. Through clear visuals and concise explanations, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these parts work together to power diesel engines efficiently and reliably.

What is a diesel engine?
• A diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine
that uses compression ignition to turn energy in diesel fuel
to rotary mechanical energy.
• The diesel engine was named after its inventor, Rudolf
Diesel, who was born in Paris in 1858.
147. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Internal Combustion Engine
• An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat
engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an
oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an
integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal
combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature
and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies
direct force to some component of the engine.
148. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel
• Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel was a German inventor
and mechanical engineer who is famous for having
invented the diesel engine, which burns diesel fuel; both
are named after him.
149. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
What is a Diesel Engine?
• Diesel fuel was so named because it was used to run diesel
engines, diesel engines were not named after the fuel,
which at the time of the first diesel engine, was a useless
byproduct of extracting paraffin and kerosene from crude
oil.
• In 1894 this waste product was finally named "diesel".
150. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
How does a diesel engine work?
• A diesel engine works by using pistons to compress a
mixture of air (containing oxygen) with diesel fuel.
• When this air is compressed at a ratio of about 15:1 the
mixture explodes forcing the piston back up and creating
the reciprocating motion. This motion is then converted to
rotary motion by the engines crank shaft.
151. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
What are the major components in a diesel engine?
The engines fuel System
• The fuel system includes the fuel injection pump, the lift
pump, the injectors and all the fuel pipes. There will also be
some fuel filters and maybe a water separator preventing
poor quality fuel from damaging your diesel engine.
152. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
What are the major components in a diesel engine?
The engines cooling system
• The cooling system handles the engine coolant - normally a mixture
of distilled water and glycol with some additional additives to help
prevent corrosion.
• There may also be a coolant filter on some engines and a "water
pump" which is actually a coolant pump.
• The coolant pump is used to push the coolant round the engine and
whichever device is used to cool the liquid - usually a radiator, but
sometimes a heat exchanger.
153. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
What are the major components in a diesel engine?
The engines exhaust system
• Getting rid of the waste combustion gas is very important - moving
the waste gas from the engines cylinders out through the exhaust
manifold to the main muffler system that reduces the noise.
• The muffler isn't usually part of the engine, but an addition to
reduce the noise to the customers requirements.
• The exhaust gas will pass through the turbo-charger to make it spin
where one is fitted.
154. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
What are the major components in a diesel engine?
The engines Turbo charger
• Most engines will have a turbo fitted. This device
compresses the combustion air to make the engine more
powerful.

157. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Cylinder :
Cylinder is the main part of engine, fuel is burnt in it and
develops the power. Inside of the cylinder is formed by a
liner or sleeve. The Inner diameter of termed as bore and is
used for movement of piston with rings.
159. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Cylinder head :
It close one end of the cylinder and usually contains the
valves which admit the air and and fuel and discharge the
exhaust gases.
161. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Piston and piston rings :
Piston closes the other end of the working space of the
cylinder. It transmits the power developed by burning of
fuel to the crank shaft. In the distance travelled by it form
one end of cylinder to the other is termed as stroke. The
piston rings lubricated with engine oil produced gas-tight
seal between the piston and the cylinder liner.
163. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Crank shaft :
It transmits the power from piston to the driven shaft. The
parts of the crankshaft supported by and rotating in the
main bearing are called as journals. It runs under the action
of the piston through the connecting rod and crank pin
located between crank webs or checks.
165. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Main bearing :
The main bearings support the crankshaft and the crank
shaft is turning in these main bearings.
Crank pin and bearing :
This is a bearing between the big end of the connecting rod
and crank pin.
166. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Nozzle :
The fuel injection system consists of a fuel pump, fuel line
and the fuel injector. Fuel is delivered into the combustion
space of the cylinder by an Injection system. The Injector also
called as fuel injection nozzle or spray nozzle delivers fuel in
the form of fine spray under pressure through small hole.
168. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Piston pin and bearing :
Piston pin and bearing connects the piston with connecting
rod , to make it possible to move the piston in the cylinder
170. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Exhaust valve :
The products of combustion after doing work on the piston
are removed from cylinder via this valve.
171. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Cam shaft :
It is driven from the crank shaft by a timing gear on a chain.
It operates the intake valve and the exhaust valve through
the cam, cam followers, push rods and rocker arms.
175. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Cylinder block or crank case :
The crank case holds together the cylinder, piston and
crankshaft. It is also called as cylinder block if the cylinder
liners are inserted into it.
177. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Fly wheel :
Fly wheels are used to take care of fluctuations of the cyclic
variations in the speed. It stores energy during the power
stroke and releases it during other strokes, giving nearly
constant output torque.
181. SIR ROJANE F. BERNAS
Cooling water jackets :
The cooling water enters the jackets in the cylinder head
which is comparatively hot and passes on to the jackets for
the cylinder. Its purpose is to keep the combustion space
walls cool.
