6 INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS A. GENERAL 6A1. Intake systems. All of our These methods are illustrated in Figures modern submarine diesel engines are of 6-1 to 6-4. In port direct scavenging, the the 2-stroke cycle type. The purpose of exhaust ports are on one side of the the intake systems in these engines is to cylinder and the scavenging ports on the force out the exhaust gases of other. In port loop scavenging, the combustion as effectively as possible exhaust and scavenging ports are on the and to recharge the cylinder with fresh same side of the cylinder. In uniflow port air in order to support combustion for scavenging, the air enters at ports at the the next succeeding cycle. The supply lower end of the cylinder and passes out of air must be in excess of that required through ports in the upper end of the to just support combustion since the cylinder. fuel is thoroughly mixed with only part of the air compressed within the In valve uniflow scavenging, air enters cylinder. The ratio of air to fuel in most the cylinder through ports in the bottom diesel engines is approximately 20 to 1 and passes out through exhaust valves in at full load. the cylinder head, carrying the burned exhaust gases with it. 6A2. Scavenging. The term scavenging is used to describe the process of The ports used for the inlet of scavenging ridding the cylinder of burned exhaust air are usually constructed so as to give gases during the latter part of the the air a whirling motion or turbulence to expansion stroke and the early part of clear out all possible exhaust gases and the compression stroke of the 2-stroke fill the entire cylinder with a charge of cycle engine. Scavenging is fresh air. accomplished by admitting fresh air under a pressure of about 1 to 5 psi into In scavenging air systems, it is possible the cylinder while the exhaust valves or to supercharge the cylinder during the air ports are open. This pressure usually is intake. This is done by closing the developed by means of a scavenging air exhaust ports or valves slightly ahead of blower. These blowers are driven from the inlet port closure. This allows the air the engines themselves and generally pressure in the cylinder to build up to are of the lobed rotor type, the rotors scavenging air pressure, increasing the revolving together in closely fitting amount of air, the air-fuel ratio, and the housings. The process of scavenging combustion efficiency. If the amount of must be carried out in an extremely fuel injected is increased to give the same short period of time, depending upon air-fuel ratio as before supercharging, the the speed of the engine. The burned effect of supercharging is to give more gases must be blown out of the cylinder power output to the cylinder. In the and a fresh charge of air admitted present submarine type engines, the F-M during the time that the ports or valves engine is supercharged, but the GM are open.

Strainers are installed to remove any dirt or other foreign matter that would otherwise enter the scavenging blower or engine and cause damage. 119 Figure 6-1. Port direct scavenging. Figure 6-3.

The system includes exhaust valves and ports, Mufflers are placed in the exhaust headers and pipes, main inboard and system. This is necessary, because in a 2- outboard exhaust valves, and engine stroke cycle engine the uncovering of the exhaust ports releases a pressure of 20 to mufflers. 40 psi in the exhaust system and this The exhaust valves or ports, as the case produces a noise that can be heard for miles if not muffled by some form of may be, are properly timed so as to silencer. These mufflers are usually of permit the gases of combustion to escape from the cylinder at the correct cast or sheet iron construction with a system of baffles that break up the noise point of the cycle. In the GM engine, without producing back pressure. There this is accomplished by means of are two general types of mufflers in use, exhaust valves; in the F-M engine, by means of exhaust ports.

From the main exhaust manifold, the gases pass into a vertical pipe which leads to the inboard exhaust valve. From this valve, the gases pass outside the pressure hull, through exhaust piping which leads to the hydraulically operated main engine outboard exhaust valve, and thence to the atmosphere by way of the muffler and tail pipe. The inboard exhaust valve is cooled by water from the engine fresh water system, while the outboard valve is cooled by the engine salt water system. Figure 6-7. Cutaway of blower assembly, GM. Drains are provided in the piping between the inboard and outboard exhaust valves so that any salt water that may have leaked past the outboard exhaust valve can be drained into the engine room bilges. On a submarine it is extremely important that this space be drained before starting an engine after surfacing from submerged operations, otherwise the engine may be flooded. 6B2. Scavenging air blower. The
scavenging air blower is of the positive displacement type consisting of a pair of rotors revolving together in a closely fitted housing. Each rotor has three helical lobes which produce a continuous and relatively uniform displacement of air. The rotors do not touch each other or the surrounding housing. Air enters the housing at the top and fills the spaces between the rotor lobes as they roll apart. The air is carried around the cylindrical sides of the housing, in the closed spaces between the lobes and the housing. It is forced under pressure to the bottom of the housing as the lobes roll together. Figure 6-8. Front view of blower, GM. Then the air passes through the space between the inner and outer wall of the blower housing and into the air box around the cylinder liners. Each rotor is carried on a tubular serrated shaft. Endwise movement is prevented by two taper pins. No gaskets are used between the end plates and the housing due to the importance of maintaining the correct rotor end clearance. A fine silk thread around the housing and inside the stud line, together with a thin coat of nonhardening gasket compound, provides an air tight seal. Babbitted bearings in the end plates locate the rotors in the two half-bores of the housing. These bearings permit clearances to be held to 124 a minimum between the rotor tips and the housing bores. Both ends of the rotor bearings have thrust surfaces at the gear end of the blower. The thrust surfaces locate the rotors endwise and prevent contact between the rotors and the end plates. The blower is driven from the crankshaft through a quill shaft and through a train of helical spur gears. The quill shaft is driven through a serrated quill shaft coupling on the crankshaft, and drives the main driving
gear in the train through a serrated Figure 6-9. Air silencer. connection in the gear hub. The main drive gear transmits power directly to the blower rotor driver gear. The quill shaft coupling is fastened to the end of the crankshaft and is driven through large dowel pins. The rotor driver and driven gear are closely fitted and rigidly attached to both rotor shafts to prevent the rotors from touching as they revolve. Each gear hub is pressed on the serrated rotor shaft. A hexagon head lockscrew in the rotor shaft holds a thrust collar as a spacer between the gear hub and the end of the rotor. The Figure 6-10. Cutaway of typical air collar maintains clearance between silencer. rotors and blower end plate. The blower rotor gears are bolted to the gear hub flanges and are located angularly by dowel pins. Due to the importance of having the rotors roll together without touching, yet with the least possible clearance, it is necessary to locate the dowel pins during assembly for a given set of gears and hubs. Oil passages in the end plates conduct lubricating oil under pressure to the blower bearings. Oil seals are provided at each bearing to prevent oil from entering the rotor housing. 6B3. Intake silencer. The air is drawn into the blower through an intake silencer mounted on the blower intake adapter. The silencer is a double sheet metal case with screened openings at the top. Felt padding is cemented between the double layers of metal at the top and sides of the case. To minimize the noise caused by the entering air, a perforated metal tube is welded through the center of the case, and the upper space between the outer shell and intake tube is filled with sound-deadening material. 6B4.

Each impeller is cast on a splined shaft. Each shaft turns in two roller bearings, the outer bearing taking the shaft thrust. The bearings are held by retainer rings in the end plates which also locate the impellers with radial relation to each other. The thrust bearings prevent contact between the ends of the impellers and the housing. Figure 6-11. Cross section through F- M scavenging air blower. Figure 6-13. Blower assembly, timing Figure 6-12.
