Flywheel

The engines can be fitted with different flywheels for connection to a torque converter and transmission or a fixed or flexible coupling. Refer to Sales Support Tool, Partner Network. The flywheel stores energy created during the power stroke and releases it during the rest of the cycle, which reduces speed variations in the crankshaft and timing during the cycle. It is especially important that the flywheel has sufficient inertia to provide good starting characteristics at low temperatures.

Inertia

A given minimum rotation inertia is necessary to maintain a sufficiently high piston speed during the compression stroke in order to provide enough compression heat for the injected fuel to ignite. Even if the average initial cranking speed is the same on flywheels with different inertias, the cyclical speed variation can vary significantly (see illustration). Low inertia flywheels are preferable in vehicular applications where relatively high engine speeds prevail and where fast acceleration and deceleration is required. Higher inertia flywheels are required for many industrial applications with constant revolutions or medium loads in order to reduce engine or driven equipment cyclical unevenness. They also reduce temporary Volvo diesel engine speed changes due to loads suddenly being removed or applied. Flywheels with the highest possible inertia must be used on electrical generators and other engines with relatively low or constant rpm that require fine adjustment, where cyclical unevenness must be kept to a minimum. They are also suitable for applications with large loads where as much assistance as possible is required from the flywheel so that the engine does not stop when sudden loads are applied.

Flywheel ring gear

On certain applications where engine rpm is sensed via the flywheel ring gear by magnetic sensors, it is necessary to know the number of teeth. Please contact Volvo Penta, Sales Engineer Industrial



Flywheel Housing

General SAE measurement recommendations must be followed when manufacturing flywheel housings and flange couplings (for driven units). The table below details the most important measurements for the SAE number concerned.

Spacer Ring (Flywheel Housing/Flange Connection)

If the flywheel housing and the driven unit have different SAE numbers, they may be coupled using special spacer rings.

The following spacer rings are available as accessory equipment.

1 Spacer ring SAE No. 1-1

2 Spacer ring SAE No. 1-2

3 Spacer ring SAE No. 1-3

4 Spacer ring SAE No. 2-3

The spacer ring acts as an intermediary connection between the flywheel housing coupling flange and the torque converter coupling flange. A spacer ring can also be used as an adapter from the flywheel housing to a smaller flange.

Power Transmission

Volvo Penta engines can be equipped with different power take-off couplings depending on the application the engine is used for.

WARNING!

When engines are delivered without protection all rotating parts must be protected if it, after being built into the respective application, is necessary for personal safety.



Disconnectable Power Take-off

Disengageable power take-offs are required in cases where load exists at start and where the load is required to be disengaged while the engine is running. The over center eccentric effect means that engagement proceeds smoothly and progressively, and that the power take-off is locked securely in drive mode.

NOTICE! In order not to overload the power take-off bearings, the side load (L) may not exceed given values. Refer to the table two pages ahead in this manual. The side load can be reduced by using a larger belt pulley (B). In this case the driven belt pulley diameter must naturally also be changed in order to maintain a constant relationship.

Always try to install the belt pulley hub as close to the power take-off housing as possible. The belt pulley may under no circumstances be installed with its center further from the shaft than half the length of the free shaft. The belt pulley must be bell shaped as illustrated. This type of belt pulley may be located so that part of the disc covers the bearing housing thus reducing the x-value, which in turn allows the side load to be increased.

Flexible Coupling

Flexible couplings are used for direct coupling to generators etc. Torsional oscillations must be calculated when couplings with different inertias are used in order to ensure the couplings are suitable. Contact Volvo Penta for further information.

The couplings can handle normal, transient torque. Where extreme torque may occur, steel couplings or couplings with overload protection must be used.

Function Of Battery, Breather And Radiator In Diesel Generator

A diesel generator is a diesel powered machine capable of converting mechanical energy to electrical energy. It basically consists of a diesel engine, who's drive shaft is directly connected to something called an alternator. The job of the alternator is to convert the mechanical energy provided to it by the diesel engine to electrical energy. So the alternator consists of 2 windings called the stator winding and the rotor winding. During operation the stator winding is stationary while the rotor winding are performing circular motion (since they are connected to the drive shaft of the diesel engine). Working Of The Alternator: The rotor windings are excited by some DC current so that a magnetic field is produced around the coil. Since it is performing circular motion the magnetic flux linked with it also keeps performing circular motion at the same speed. This magnetic flux is intersected by the stator winding which is fitted around the rotor. According to Faraday...
