Diesel engine
The two stroke cycle engine is more favored for diesel power plant.
•
The air required for the diesel engine is drown through the air filter
from the atmosphere and compressed inside the cylinder.
•
The fuel from the diesel engine is drawn through a filter from the all
day tank and injected into the cylinder through fuel injectors.
•
Because of the high temperature and pressure of the compressed air,
•
the fuel burns and the burnt gases expand to do work on the moving
part inside the cylinder called piston.
•
This movement of the piston rotates a flywheel and the engine is
directly coupled to electric generator.
•
The gases after expansion inside the cylinder is exhausted into the
atmosphere and passes through a silencer in order to reduce the
noise.
