2. WHAT IS DIESEL ENGINE
PROPULSION?
Type of INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE used in ships.01
Operates on COMPRESSION IGNITION PRINCIPLE.
Converts CHEMICAL ENERGY (Fuel) → MECHANICAL ENERGY
(Propeller motion).ENGINEERING

3. HOW IT WORKS? 02

4ENGINEERING
Air compressed in cylinder → temperature rises.
Diesel fuel injected into hot compressed air.
Spontaneous ignition occurs.
Piston moves downward → drives crankshaft.
Crankshaft rotates propeller shaft → ship moves
forward.

4. ENGINEERING Diesel engine drives propeller directly via gearbox. The
Engine is located fixed near propeller, less flexible layout.
KEY CHARACTERISTIC:ENGINEERING

5. BEST FOR:ENGINEERING
Fishing boats, Bulk carriers, Container ships, Tankers,
Ferries, Recreational boats, etc.
Their adaptability and scalability make them the go-to
choice for both small craft and large ocean-going
ships.ENGINEERING
