  • Swampʼs Diesel Performance Tips to Help Remove and Install Power

La Vergne, TN 37086 Tel 615-793-5573 or (866) 595-8724/ Fax 615-793-5572 Email: [email protected] Tips to help remove and install Power Stroke injectors. Removal: After removing the valve covers and the valve cover gaskets, but before removing any injectors, drain the oil rails by removing the drain plugs inside the valve cover. On 94-97 trucks theyʼre just under where the electrical connectors are on the gasket. These plugs are very tight; give them a sharp blow with a hammer and punch to help break them loose, then use a 1/8" Allen wrench. The oil will drain out into the valve train area and from there into the crankcase. Donʼt drop the plugs down the push rod holes! Also remove one of the plugs on top of each oil rail, (beside where the lines from the High Pressure Oil Pump enter) for a vent to allow air to enter so the oil can drain. The plugs are 5/8”. Inspect the plug O-rings and replace if necessary. If the plugs under the covers leak, it will cause a substantial loss of performance. When removing the injectors, oil and fuel from the passages in the cylinder head drains down through the injector bore into the cylinders. If not removed, this can hydro-lock the engine when cranking. There is a ~40cc dish in the center of each piston. Fluid accumulates in it, as well as in the corner on the outside of the piston between the piston top and the cylinder wall, due to the 45* slope of the cylinder bank.

  • Development of Predictive Gasoline Direct Fuel Injector Model for Improved
    Development of Predictive Gasoline Direct Fuel Injector Model for Improved In-cylinder Combustion Characterization Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mohit Atul Mandokhot Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Prof. Shawn Midlam-Mohler, Advisor Prof. Giorgio Rizzoni 1 Copyrighted by Mohit Atul Mandokhot 2018 2 Abstract Gasoline direct fuel injection systems have gained importance due to the increasing level of emissions regulation on SI combustion systems. Direct fuel injection delivery to cylinder provides better atomization and fuel mixing performance, enabling homogenous mixture and better in-cylinder combustion. Increasing focus over the last few decades has been on better characterization of such gasoline direct fuel injection systems. Solenoid powered injectors act as actuators and enable accurate fuel delivery into the cylinder for a combustion event. Characterization of injector’s fuel delivery performance is an important aspect of achieving improved in-cylinder combustion performance. The objective of the current thesis is to develop a numerical physics based fuel injector model that provides a reliable prediction of flow rate and needle lift, in order to be used to improve in-cylinder combustion performance using 3D CFD model methodology. The developed model provides a reliable estimate of flow rate of developed injector, which is experimentally verified against instantaneous flow rate data provided by typical suppliers. In cases where inadequate prediction performance was noted, the errors arise out of lack of high fidelity electromagnetic modeling data, damping characteristics inside model and lack of geometry data to capture performance of highest accuracy.

In comparison with other counties, Cornwall was characterized by a relative high price for coal which was imported from Wales by sea.2 It is not surprising then that, due to their superior fuel efficiency, Watt engines were immediately regarded as a particularly attractive proposition by Cornish mining entrepreneurs (commonly termed ‘adventurers’ in the local parlance).3 Under a typical agreement between Boulton and Watt and the Cornish mining entre- preneurs, the two partners would provide the drawings and supervise the works of erection of the engine; they would also supply some particularly important components of the engine (such as some of the valves). These expenditures would have been charged to the mine adventurers at cost (i.e. not including any profit for Boulton and Watt). In addition, the mine adventurer had to buy the other components of the engine not directly supplied by the Published by & (c) The Newcomen Society two partners and to build the engine house.

  • Types and Characteristics of Locomotives Dr. Ahmed A. Khalil Steam Locomotives - Operating Principle
    Types and Characteristics of Locomotives Dr. Ahmed A. Khalil Steam Locomotives - Operating Principle: The wheel is connected to the rod by a crank. The rod is connected to the piston rod of the steam cylinder., thereby converting the reciprocating motion of the piston rod generated by steam power into wheel rotation. - Main Parts of a steam locomotive: 1. Tender — Container holding both water for the boiler and combustible fuel such as wood, coal or oil for the fire box. 2. Cab — Compartment from which the engineer and fireman can control the engine and tend the firebox. 3. Whistle — Steam powered whistle, located on top of the boiler and used as a signalling and warning device. 4. Reach rod — Rod linking the reversing actuator in the cab (often a 'johnson bar') to the valve gear. 5. Safety valve — Pressure relief valve to stop the boiler exceeding the operating limit. 6. Generator — Steam powered electric generator to power pumps, head lights etc, on later locomotives. 7. Sand box/Sand dome — Holds sand that can be deposited on the rails to improve traction, especially in wet or icy conditions. 8. Throttle Lever — Controls the opening of the regulator/throttle valve thereby controlling the supply of steam to the cylinders. 9. Steam dome — Collects the steam at the top of the boiler so that it can be fed to the engine via the regulator/throttle valve. 10. Air pump — Provides air pressure for operating the brakes (train air brake system). 11. Smoke box — Collects the hot gas that have passed from the firebox and through the boiler tubes.

A final component and casting requires non-permanent, three dimension model of diesel engine crankshaft is created usually sand, molds. These two processes also need various using CATIA V5 software. Finite element analysis (FEA) is finishing operations, such as grinding and balancing. As for performed to obtain the variation of stress magnitude at the machining process, it is only viable for unitary or low critical locations of crankshaft in. The static analysis is done using FEA Software HYPERMESH which resulted in the load production, as the material waste and machining time is spectrum applied to crank pin bearing. This load is applied to enormous, despite not requiring much in the way of the FEA model in HYPERMESH, and boundary conditions balancing.

  • DESCRIPTION of a FLUID-PRESSURE REVERSING GEAR for Locodiiotive ENGINES
    552 APRIL1834. DESCRIPTION OF A FLUID-PRESSURE REVERSING GEAR FOR LOCODiIOTIVE ENGINES. BY Bln. DAVID JOY, OF LOSDOX. - SingZe-Zccentric T’alre-G‘ear.--Ever since his former paper to this Institution in 1880 (Proceedings page 418) describing the radial valve-gear which he was then introducing, the writer has entertained the idea of a yet simpler and more direct form of Reversing and Expansion Valve-Gear than either the radial itself or any other plan hitherto in use. Notwithstanding the success achieved with the radial gear, the difficulties encountered in its introduction convinced him that a better plan was required, and enabled him to see the direction in which to work. Froin the outset the idea kept prominently in view was that only a single set of pieces of mechanism should be employed, instead of a duplicate set, for actuating the valve from the crank axle, and also for reversing from forward to backward gear ; and further, that reversal should be accomp~ished by the change of position of the gear, as in the radial gear, and not by the addition, as in the link gear, of other and distinct parts for backward running. Accordingly the single eccentric with shifting position on the crank axle, as in Dodds’ wedge-motion, naturally recommended itself for adoption : while the difficulties and complication involved in any attempt to effect the shifting by mechanical connections through levers, links, screws, or friction gear, which would have been fatal to practical success, led the writer to throw all such expedients aside, and to have recourse to the cmployment of fluid pressure, by means of oil or other fluid conveyed through the centre of the axle itself for shifting the position of the eccentric.

  • 141210 the Rise of Steam Power
    The rise of steam power The following notes have been written at the request of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Transport Division, Glasgow by Philip M Hosken for the use of its members. The content is copyright and no part should be copied in any media or incorporated into any publication without the written permission of the author. The contents are based on research contained in The Oblivion of Trevithick by the author. Section A is a very brief summary of the rise of steam power, something that would be a mighty tome if the full story of the ideas, disappointments, successes and myths were to be recounted. Section B is a brief summary of Trevithick’s contribution to the development of steam power, how he demonstrated it and how a replica of his 1801 road locomotive was built. Those who study early steam should bear in mind that much of the ‘history’ that has come down to us is based upon the dreams of people seen as sorcerers in their time and bears little reality to what was actually achieved. Very few of the engines depicted in drawings actually existed and only one or two made any significant contribution to the harnessing of steam power. It should also be appreciated that many drawings are retro-respective and close examination shows that they would not work. Many of those who sought to utilise the elusive power liberated when water became steam had little idea of the laws of thermodynamics or what they were doing. It was known that steam could be very dangerous but as it was invisible, only existed above the boiling point of water and was not described in the Holy Bible its existence and the activities of those who sought to contain and use it were seen as the work of the Devil.

  • ON a NEW REVERSING and EXPANSIVE VALVE-GEAR. The
    418 AUGUST1880. ON A NEW REVERSING AND EXPANSIVE VALVE-GEAR. - BY MR. DAVID- JOY, OF LONDON. The Reversing and Expansive Valve-Motion, which is the subject of the present paper, was originally drawn out by the writer in a crude state, but possessing all its present elements, in the year 1868-9 ; and has since been, at different times, the subject of frequent investigation and experiment on his part. In 1877 he made it a special study, first working it out on paper, and afterwards testing all the movements and positions by means of models. And thus, passing through innumerable forms under the correction of various errors of action, it has ended in the arrangement which is now submitted to the Institution. In passing, the writer may call attention to the fact, that this is only one of the many instances where inventions are the result of a long course of work, followed in a given and definite direction, and with a special end in view. It thus helps to disprove the theory of opponents of the patent system, who rather characterise inventions as lucky chances, which men of scheming brains fall upon without expecting it. A few such cases do occur, just to give colour to this statement ; but even these generally happen to men who have been working laboriously on some kindred subject. In the writer’s case, as an engineer, his attention has been specially directed by circumstances, and perhaps partly by, taste, to the question of the movement of the valves in steam and other engines.
