Department of Mechanical Engineering A Seminar Presentation On SIX STROKE DIESEL ENGINE
CONTENTS • Introduction • Types of Six stroke engines • Bajulaz Six stroke Diesel engine • Dual fuel Six stroke engine • Comparison • Specifications • Features • Performance and economy • Conclusion
INTRODUCTION • The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine. • First developed in early 1990’s • Advancement is the Duel fuel six stroke diesel engine • More efficient & reduce emissions.
Approaches for six stroke engine design • First approach There is two additional strokes by the main piston as fifth and sixth stroke • Second approach It uses a second opposed piston which moves at half the cyclical rate of the main piston
BAJULAZ SIX STROKE ENGINE Intake valve Heating chamber valve Combustion chamber valve Exhaust valve Cylinder Combustion chamber Air heating chamber Wall of combustion chamber Fuel injector Heater plug • Intake of pure air in the • cylinder STROKE 1
STROKE 2 STROKE 3 • Compression of pure air in • heating chamber • Release of combustion • gases in the cylinder
STROKE 4 STROKE 5 • Recompression of pure air • in the combustion chamber • Release of pure air • into cylinder
STROKE 6 • Exhaust of combustion gases
DUAL FUEL SIX STROKE ENGINE • This engine runs by two fuels i.e. diesel (primary fuel) and methanol (secondary fuel)
COMPARISONS Comparison between four stroke & six stroke diesel engines
Comparison between six stroke diesel & dual fuel six strokeengines
Lower maintenance costs due to less wearing parts (cylinder head) • Longer service intervals possible due to lower operating temperatures recorded • Increase in thermal efficiency by more than 20% • Reduced fuel consumption
ADVANTAGES • Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40% • Two expansions(work/Power stroke) in six strokes • Dramatic reduction in pollution ( up to 65%) • Higher overall efficiency • Lower engine temperature & noise level • Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved • Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle • Less inertia due to lightness of moving parts
DISADVANTAGES • Brake power & indicated power per cycle per cylinder is comparatively lesser • Engine size increases due to many number of cylinders & additional components • Higher manufacturing cost of six stroke engine
APPLICATIONS • Automobiles, heavy goods, construction-site and farm vehicles. • motor-pumps, generator sets, stationary engines, etc....intended for agriculture and industry. • Motorboats
CONCLUSION • Drastically reducing fuel consumption (by 40%) and pollution (by 60-90%) without radically affecting performances • For the dual fuel six-stroke engine, soot & nitrous oxide was practically eliminated by a small amount of methanol in the second combustion process. • It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases in the overall efficiency.
