Introduction to the General Structure and Main Components of Marine Diesel Engine Accessories

Due to the fact that a diesel engine is a reciprocating compression ignition internal combustion engine, its overall structure and main components are designed to accomplish this function. Diesel engines are the fundamental power equipment that drives ships forward. Understanding their structural composition and functions, and doing a good job in maintenance and management are extremely important. Statistics show that the main components of marine diesel engines account for about 90% of the total number of faults, and nearly half of these faults are concentrated on combustion chamber components. These faults directly affect the technical performance indicators of diesel engines and are closely related to navigation safety.

The basic composition of a diesel engine is that the structure of a marine diesel engine is relatively complex, consisting of many parts, mechanisms, and systems. Although the structures and models of diesel engines manufactured by various diesel engine manufacturers are different, they have many similarities in working principles and overall structure.
