Two-Stroke Diesel Engine Cycle Diagram - Power & Exhaust Strokes Schematic

Engine-operation schematic illustrating the power and exhaust strokes with fuel, air and exhaust flow through the cylinder.

AI caption · Photo 5 of 382

This document is a scanned textbook-style schematic illustrating two strokes of a two-stroke diesel engine cycle: the Power stroke (left) and the Exhaust stroke (right). Each cutaway drawing shows a single cylinder with a piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft, plus a Roots-type blower (shown as two lobed rotors) feeding air through an intake passage into ports in the cylinder wall. The left diagram, labeled 'Power,' shows 'Air' entering through the blower and 'Fuel' being injected at the top of the cylinder through an injector, with the piston being driven downward (crankshaft rotation shown by a curved arrow). The right diagram, labeled 'Exhaust,' shows 'Air' still entering through the blower while burned gases exit through the exhaust valve at the top of the cylinder, indicated by the arrow labeled 'Ex.' A reader can learn how a uniflow-scavenged two-stroke diesel engine combines the power and exhaust/scavenging events, using blower-supplied air through cylinder ports and an overhead exhaust valve. The page contains no part numbers, specifications, year, make, or model information; it appears to be from a diesel technology training or reference text rather than a vehicle-specific manual.

Frequently asked questions

What does this diagram show?
It shows cutaway schematics of two strokes of a two-stroke diesel engine cycle: the Power stroke and the Exhaust stroke.
Where does air enter the cylinder in these diagrams?
Air enters through a lobed blower and passes through ports in the side of the cylinder wall in both the Power and Exhaust illustrations.
When is fuel shown being added?
Fuel is labeled at the top of the cylinder in the Power stroke diagram, injected through the injector at the top of the combustion chamber.
How does exhaust leave the engine in this diagram?
In the Exhaust stroke drawing, exhaust gases exit through a valve at the top of the cylinder, shown by an arrow labeled 'Ex.'
