PREVENTION OF EXPLOSIONS IN DIESEL CRANKCASES

PREDOTVRASHCHENIYE VZRYVOV V KARTERAKH DIZELEY

This book is intended to be used by a wide circle of diesel operators and diesel designers to aid them in decreasing accidents. The author analyzes several problems of explosions in diesel crankcases and how to prevent them. He states that explosions occur not only in diesel engines on ships, but in any type of diesel engine, and that they are a result of physicochemical processes. The explosion of oil vapor in diesel engine crankcases is one of the most complicated as well as one of the most neglected problems. Contents: 1. Causes and probability of explosions in diesel crankcases. 2. Requirement of company classification for engines designed with the objective of preventing explosions or decreasing their aftereffect. 3. Means of localizing or preventing explosions and an appraisal of their effectiveness.
