4 Questions
Why is the correct fuel temperature important in marine engines?
The correct fuel temperature is important because it controls the fuel oil viscosity, which is required for proper atomisation and penetration during injection, ensuring efficient combustion.
What is atomization in the context of marine engines?
Atomization is the process of breaking down the fuel oil into extremely small droplets, which allows for easier and more efficient burning in the combustion space.
How does penetration affect combustion in marine engines?
Penetration refers to the distance fuel particles travel inside the combustion chamber before burning. Correct penetration is necessary to prevent damage to the nozzle tip and fouling of the piston crown.
What could happen if there is too much or too little penetration of fuel in a marine engine's combustion chamber?
If penetration is too little, the fuel will burn closer to the nozzle tip and may damage it. If penetration is too much, the fuel will strike the piston crown and foul it.
