DIESEL POWER PLANT
- The layout of a diesel power plant is given in Fig. 17.6.
- Multicylinder 2-stroke turbocharged Diesel engines are used in power plants. In turbocharged engine,
- The atmospheric air is compressed by a compressor run by an exhaust driven gas turbine and the compressed air is taken inside the cylinder.Due to this, mass of air intake and amount of fuel burnt will be considerably increased giving rise to increased output power and higher thermal efficiency.
- Due to turbo charging, the operating temperature of the engine is increased. So the lubricating oil coming out of the engine should be cooled in an oil cooler.
- The cooling water from the engines is normally cooled in a spray tank and recirculated. Due to high capacity, the engine is started by using com pressed air.
