snipNow, as temperature of the gasses within the combustion chamber and thus the pressure, is higher then ambient temperature and pressure at the bottom of the power stroke the flow should be from the high pressure area to a lower pressure area. In which case the engine would not receive any air for the next stroke. So, where does the two stroke diesel engine get the air necessary to support combustion of the next injection of diesel fuel if not through the use of a mechanical air pump, usually referred to as a "Blower" in D.D. parlance Presumably it would get them by using the crankcase as a compressor like a gas 2stroke does. Whether it is possible to get the necessary compression for ignition, especially while at cranking speed, while dealing with transfer ports etc is left as an exercise for the student. del |
