  1. Lesson Using Multiple Cylinder Engines

  2. Interest Approach • Name the ways that engines may be classified.

  3. Student Learning Objectives • Explain general maintenance guidelines associated with multiple cylinder engines • Describe the concept of power as it relates to multiple cylinder engines • Discuss common maintenance practices associated with multiple cylinder engines • Describe the operating characteristics of a diesel engine

  4. Bleed Coolant hydrometer Diesel engine Drawbar power Engine horsepower Fuel injectors Horsepower Multiple cylinder engines Power Power-take off shaft PTO power Preventative maintenance Turbocharger Terms

  5. Multiple Cylinder Engines • Have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or more cylinders. • Preventative maintenance – performing periodic practice to keep equipment in good working order • Preventative maintenance helps multiple cylinder engines perform well

  6. General Preventative Practices • Read the operator’s manual • Know the history of the equipment • Follow all manufacturer recommendations • Use quality materials • Keep accurate records • Use common sense • Use safety practices

  7. Power • The rate of performing work • Engine power is stated as horsepower

  8. Types of Power • Engine horsepower – rates engines based on their displacement and configuration • Horsepower – the force needed to life 33, 000 lbs one foot in one minute or 550 lbs one foot in one second • Drawbar power – is derived as machines are pushed or pulled by the engine as power is delivered to the drive wheels

  9. Horsepower

  10. Types of Power • PTO power – rotary power converted to hydraulic or electrical energy. • Power-take-off (PTO) shaft transfers power from the engine to the attached implement.

  11. PTO shaft& implement

  12. Maintenance practices • Maintaining the intake system • Maintaining the fuel system • Bleed – to remove air from the system • Maintaining the exhaust system • Maintaining the cooling system • Coolant hydrometer – determines the proportion of antifreeze to water

  13. Antifreeze chart

  14. Maintenance practices (continued) • Maintaining the ignition system • Maintaining the lubrication system • Maintaining the starting systems

  15. Diesel engine • An engine with a very high compression ration in which the air-fuel mixture is ignited by the heat of compression • Available in two-stroke or four-stroke engines

  16. Diesel engines have: • Fuel injectors – measure the correct amount of fuel for injection at he correct time • Turbocharger – a turbine-type air pump that is driven by the engine’s exhaust gasses

  17. Comparison between spark ignition & diesel cycle engines

  18. Review/Summary • What are some common preventative maintenance practices associated with multiple cylinder engines? • What is power? How does it apply to multiple cylinder engines?

  19. Review/Summary • What are common maintenance practices associated with multiple cylinder engines? • What are the characteristics of a diesel engine?
