Inhaltsangabe

Diesel Engine Design: insights into heavy-duty marine power plants — a practical guide to how these engines are built, controlled, and kept reliable in real-world conditions.

This edition discusses key design choices, from crank-cases and framework to cylinder liners and covers, with an emphasis on safety, manufacturability, and serviceability.

Readers will gain a concrete view of the methods and trade-offs engineers use when sizing components, arranging control systems, and ensuring durability under demanding marine use. The text blends theory with practical considerations, illustrating how design decisions affect strength, maintenance, and operation.

• How crank-cases and framework are planned for strength, rigidity, and manufacturability
• Different cylinder and cover configurations and their impact on performance and reliability
• Interlocking and hand-control concepts that fit one-operator workflows
• Practical guidance on materials, machining, and assembly for large diesel engines

Ideal for engineers, designers, and technicians involved in marine diesel power systems, as well as students seeking a clear, applied look at large-engine construction.
