Which of the following components is/are NOT found in a two-stroke marine diesel engine?
Show Hint
- Crankshaft
- Piston
- Spark plug
- Air-inlet valve
The Correct Option is C, D
Solution and Explanation
Components in a two-stroke engine:
Crankshaft: Present in two-stroke engines. It is used to convert the linear motion of the piston into rotary motion.
Piston: Present in two-stroke engines, where it moves up and down in the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture.
Air-inlet valve: Not typically found in two-stroke marine diesel engines. Diesel engines rely on scavenging and do not require air-inlet valves.
Spark plug: Not used in diesel engines. Diesel engines rely on the high compression of the air-fuel mixture, causing it to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug.
Conclusion: The spark plug and air-inlet valve are not typically present in two-stroke marine diesel engines.
