The fuel injection arrangement shown below is for a large two stroke marine diesel engine used on
ships. High pressure fuel from the fuel pump is led through a double skinned pipe to a distribution
block close to the cylinder head and then through three double skinned pipes to the equally spaced
fuel injectors fitted in the cylinder cover. Subscribe

Normal crosshead engines fitted with a central exhaust valve utilize uniflow scavenging. Because of
the centrally placed exhaust valve, three fuel injectors are fitted circumferential around the cylinder
head. The atomizing nozzles, which are different in design to those of a centrally placed fuel injector. Tags

to an alarm pot or leak off tank and then to the fuel oil drain tank. Outer sheath of the pipe prevents
spillage of leak off oil to the surroundings. This leak off tank or alarm pot can be general to all units or
individually fitted to each cylinder. Small amount of leakages are led through an orifice (small
opening) to the fuel oil drain tank. When the leakages are high, flow through the orifice will not be
sufficient to drain all the oil. Now level of the leak off tank rises, which lifts the float fitted in the leak off
tank. The float is connected to an alarm circuit. Should the alarm operate, the engineer must identify
the leaking pipe and replace as necessary.
