Study on Air Intake and Cooling System for Marine Diesel Engine

Regarding the power, the efficiency and the discharge questions of the low-speed diesel engine, this article studied emphatically the Miller cycle, the analysis technology for the air intake system, and the matching technology for the intake and the exhaust. On the foundation of the twin inlet structure the paper analyzed the intake swirl control area and its influence to the gas charging efficiency, proposed the design scheme for the invariable intake swirl control system. By matching reasonably the intake, the exhaust, and the injection process of the diesel engine, the combustion process is further optimized to satisfy the target request for the complete machine’s power, fuel oil efficiency and emission. Aiming at the high-power lowspeed marine diesel engine, the paper analyzes the impact of the diesel engine’s cooling to the power, economy and NOx’s emission, studies the variable flow control method and system of the diesel engine cooling water and proposes the scheme setting up the intercooler system and the body cooling system independently in the diesel engine. The results show that the methods and systems are better to improve the engine power, reduce the fuel consumption and NOx’s emission.
