Abstract
As a result of the experience gained with the Mitsubishi two-cycle single-acting airless fuel injection MS type Diesel engine, Messrs. Mitsubishi Jukogyo K. K. have developed a new double acting MSD type Diesel engine of a similar principle a', their Nagasaki Works, and the first two engines were installed in a c_??_uple of cargo liners for Messrs. Nippon Yusen Kaisha, further three sets for the same owners being now under construction.
The first engined vessel “Akagi Maru” has completed her first round voyage after 4 months at sea, and we are informed that the engine has shown remarkably good results and many novel characteristics.
This paper deals with the prominent features and some of the trial and service results of the engine.
