Some Problems Experienced in Developing Process of Supercharging System for Highly Rated Diesel Engine

Abstract

Based on the data obtained through design research and various tests made with the charging system used in the prototype of the supercharged 4-cycle medium-speed diesel engine, this paper deals with the three major problems in the supercharging system through comparative studies between theoretical calculations and actual surveyed values.
The three major points are: -
1. Pump work during suction/exhaust strokes.
2. Effective utilization of exhaust gas energy.
3. Optimum designing of the turbine.
