Toward Higher Speeds and Outputs From the Small Diesel Engine D.Broome Ricardo Co.Engineers(1927) Ltd.(England) THE AUTHOR’S company has long been concerned with the development of the small, high-speed diesel engine, and is particularly associated with combustion systems for this type of engine. Although such engines are not common in the North American continent, production and use in Europe and Japan is considerable, totaling several million units. These are, typically, naturally aspirated 4-cyl engines of 25-35 in3 (400-600cm3) displacement per cylinder, operating up to speeds of 4000-5000 rpm, with a limiting piston speed of about 2400ft/min(12m/s). In discussion with the U.S.Army Tank-Automotive Command (USATAC) at , Mich.it was proposed that the military requirement of high power from a small lightweight package could be achieved by exploiting higher speeds than hitherto, rather than the application of increased levels of turbocharger alone, and this led to the formulation of a research program to study combustion and breathing problems under such conditions. This paper describes the work carried out to date, which has involved the design, manufacture, and preliminary test work on special single cylinder engine. THE PROJECT The project specifications finally laid down by USATAC can be summarized as follows: Design, procure, build, and test a single-cylinder engine of 3-1/2 in (88.9mm) bore and stroke, to operate at the highest possible speed, but certainly above 5000 rpm. Simulation of turbocharged conditions to be achieved using a separate air supply. To develop the single-cylinder test engine to achieve performance targets such that a 4-cyl version for military duties could produce 1 bhp/in3 (45.5kW/cm3) displacement with a target dry weight of about 3.5 lb/bhp (2.13kg/kW). The design not to be influenced by conventional practices, with the aim of minimizing mechanical and the
