SAE R-378-2009 Opposed Piston Engines Evolution Use and Future Applications (To Purchase Call 1-800-854-7179 USA Canada or 303-397-7956 Worldwide).pdf

1、Opposed Piston Engines: Evolution, Use, and Future Applications provides the first comprehensive description of all documented opposed piston (OP) engines from 1887 to 2006. Design and performance details of the major types of OP engines in stationary, ground, marine, and aviation applications are e

2、xplored. The OP engine has set enviable and leading-edge standards for power/weight, refinement, fuel tolerance, fuel efficiency, package space, and manufacturing simplicity. For these reasons, the OP concept still remains of interest for outstanding power and package density, simplicity, and reliab

3、ility; e.g., aviation and certain military transport requirements. Using material from historic and unpublished internal research reports, the authors present the rationale for OP engines, their diverse architecture, detailed design aspects, performance data, manufacturing details, and leading engin

4、eers and applications. Comparisons to 4-stroke engines are made supporting the case for reconsidering OP engines for certain applications.

Based on

44、 detailed research and discussions with relevant engineers, this book traces the evolution of opposed piston (OP) engines from the end of the nineteenth century, with the Oechelhaeuser, Junkers, and Beardmore two-stroke power units that o ered the rst serious challenge in thermal e ciency and speci

Automotive

48、 OP engine examples include the spark ignited air cooled AFRICAR light duty engine; the Rootes TS3, an iconic success as a medium duty truck in the United Kingdom in the 1960s; as well as numerous land based OP engines used in post World War II military vehicles in the Soviet Union, France, the Unit

49、ed Kingdom, the Middle East, Iran, and India. e general architecture and features of many of these OP engines have been reviewed holistically, speci c items carefully examined, and e orts made to characterize key design and performance parameters, with comparisons to generalized four-stroke engine information where possible. A special section covers research projects, showing that opposed piston engines had been operated as early as 1941 at 6 bars absolute boost pressure and in turbo-compounding form, and achieved near 41% brake thermal e ciency as early as
