Diesel engines for land and marine work . cylinder Diesel engine of the ordinaryslow speed four-cycle single acting type as constructedby the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Niirnberg Allthe four valves are arranged in the cylinder head, the airinlet suction valve E and the exhaust valve A being simi-lar. These are of the mushroom type, opening down-wards directly into the cylinder, and they are kept on theirseats by strong springs, the pressure on which may be regu-lated if required. The outlet from the exhaust valve isconnected by piping to the silencer, while to the air suctioninlet is coupled a pipe through which the air is drawn fromthe atmosphere. This consists virtually of a closed cylinderwith a number of very narrow longitudinal slits arrangedusually in two sections as shown, and by this means theaccess of dust is prevented, while the noise due to the rushof the incoming air is reduced to a minimum. The fuelvalve and pulveriser, B—perhaps the most importantdetail of the engine—is fixed directly in the centre of the. 10.—Longitudinal Section of Diesel Engine. [To face page 62.
