The marine diesel engine is a type of diesel engine used on ships. The principle of its operation is as follows: When the air is compressed, its temperature rises so that it ignites（点燃，着火） the fine spray(喷雾、油雾) of fuel injected into the cylinder（汽缸）. Loop scavenge In a four-stroke diesel engine, the cycle requires four separate strokes of the piston, i.e. suction(吸气), compression(压缩), expansion(膨胀) and exhaust(排气). The exhaust ports are uncovered also. Pressurized fresh air charges into the cylinder, blowing out any residual exhaust gases from the last stroke through the exhaust ports. The fuel injector injects a fine spray of fuel into the hot air and combustion take place, producing much higher pressure in the gases. At this low speed the engine requires no reduction gearbox between it and propeller. It is usual to draw such diagrams starting at TDC (firing), but the explanation will start at TDC (scavenge ). Top dead center is sometimes referred to as inner dead center (IDC). If the engine is naturally aspirated(自然吸气), or is a small high-speed type with a centrifugal turbocharger, the period of valve overlap(重叠), i.e. when both valves are open, will be short, and the exhaust valve will close some 10°after top dead center (ATDC). will be designed to allow a generous throughflow（贯穿流动） of scavenge air（扫气空气） at this point in order to control the turbine blade（叶片） temperature. To maximize this, balancing（补偿） the reduced opening as the valve seats against the slight ram(进气阀座) or inertia effect of the
