Scheepsmotoren: algemene werkplaatshandboeken - reparatie

The Adlard Coles Book of Diesel Engines iexplains how a diesel engine works, how to look after it, and takes into account developments in engine technology. The book explains how the engine uses simple processes to covert fuel to power, and then looks at the various sub-systems that allow those processes to take place.

She also advises on tools, winterizing and provides hints,tips and helpful fault-finding tables. Systems covered include: fuel, air, cooling, oil, electrical, propeller and transmission and control.

This fifth edition has been thoroughly updated and illustrated with new full-colour photos and diagrams. In particular the Common Rail Injection System is covered, which governs how the fuel system is constructed, combined with the use of electronics (as opposed to mechanics) to control it thereby meeting the need for cleaner, greener engines to meet emissions regulations.

When owning a narrow boat, or any engine-powered vessel, it is vital to ensure that the engine is kept in good working order. "Narrow Boat Engine Maintenance and Repair" is a practical guide to help keep your engine operational, and your boat moving. It also provides instruction on how to identify faults and, where possible, how to fix them.

With its focus on diesel engine operation, and the systems found on most vessels, this is a useful resource for any boat owner. It provides practical guidance to undertake everyday maintenance on your diesel engine; it demonstrates how to complete a service and locate and resolve common faults; explains the theory required to understand each of the boat's main systems and shares the practical skills and techniques that engineers spend many years learning.

Highly illustrated with 264 colour step-by-step photographs and 60 technical diagrams.

This practical book presents fundamental principles and identifies the separate systems (fuel, cooling, etc.). It presents the conventional Mechanical Fuel Injection Systems and the more recent Electronic Fuel Injection Systems.
Checklists of required maintenance tasks are included, with explanations of engine operation: warm-up, normal running, and shutdown.

This guide provides illustrations and step-by-step instructions. The explanation of the basic engine systems and routine tasks presented in Diesel Engines, augmented by the manufacturer's operating manual, puts the actual accomplishment of these jobs well within the capability of even a nontechnical boat owner. Special knowledge and tools are not required.

This book explains through diagrams and stage-by-stage photographs everything a boat owner needs to know to keep their boat's engine in good order; how to rectify simple faults and how to save a great deal of money on annual service charges. It offers a detailed, step-by-step guide to essential maintenance procedures whilst explaining exactly why each job is required.

Topics covered include:
- The history and development of the diesel engine
- The care and maintenance of fuel systems, cooling systems and electrical systems
- Practical advice on how to marinize an auto engine
- How to install the engine
- What to do when things go wrong on shore or at sea
- An in-depth look at turbochargers, superchargers and after-coolers.

Covers all the factors relevant to choosing and installing a new diesel engine, whether the work will be done by the owner or entrusted to a boatyard or engineer.

It covers selecting the right size and type of engine, deciding on transmission and stern gear, designing new engine bearers, fitting fuel tanks, filters and exhaust systems, installing electrics, instruments and engine controls, evaluating marine batteries and charge control systems, choosing the right propeller and fitting sacrificial anodes.

With the new engine installed and sea trials complete, Peter Cumberlidge looks at how auxiliary equipment can be fitted to take full advantage of the available power: adding a new hot water system, ducted cabin heating, an engine-driven fridge and a hydraulic anchor winch.

A densely illustrated, hands-on guide to diesel engine maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair renders its subject more user-friendly than ever before. Finally, boatowners who grew up with gas engines can set aside their fears about tinkering with diesels, which are safer and increasingly more prevalent.

As in other volumes in the International Marine Sailboat Library, every step of every procedure is illustrated, so that users can work from the illustrations alone. The troubleshooting charts in the second chapter - probably the most comprehensive ever published - are followed by system-specific chapters, allowing readers to quickly diagnose problems, then turn to the chapter with solutions.

Diesel engine systems covered include: mechanical; oil; fresh- and raw-water cooling; low- and high-pressure fuel; exhaust; starting; charging; transmission and stern gear.
