Abstract

IMPROVED PISTON FOR AN ALCO? SERIES 251 DIESEL ENGINE
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A piston cap for a medium size diesel engine is described wherein a "bowl" shaped recess is formed in the top surface thereof.
The design is energy efficient in that considerable saving in fuel is accomplished by the new bowl shape.

Description

IMPROVED PISTON FOR AN ALCo~9 SERIES 251 DIESEL ENGINE

This invention is directed to the cap or crown of a piston for a medium size diesel engine. ~;

The diesel engine is characterized by the fact that the fuel air mixture is ignited by heat produced during the compression of the air in the cylinder. The air of the cylinder is compressed to a predetermined pressure to ensure that the required temperature for fuel ignition is reached before the piston has reached top dead centre so that when the fuel is begun to be injected into the hot air combustion will take place. Combustion begins before the piston reaches top dead centre and the pressure in the cylinder continues to increase until the piston reaches top dead centre where upon the combustion continues for a predetermined period of time with the maximum cylinder pressure occurring shortly after top dead centre. ~ - ;
The piston is driven to the bottom of the cylinder (where the exhaust stroke begins) and it is only during the power stroke that useful work is accomplished by the burning fuel.

In the past, this particular diesel cycle type of operation has been employed in en~ines all over the world that are characterized by long life in which the operation tends to be more efflcient than the gasoline powered internal combustion engine.
Recently, environmental considerations have been responsible for careful study of the modern diesel operation in order reduce the amount of fuel consumed in the engine as well as to reduce the harmful emissions of exhaust gases which are delivered to the atmosphere. The design of the engine and in particular, the design of the piston for a modern diesel can be extremely critical.
The designer must be careful to ensure that the piston will withstand the maximum cylinder pressures which will be encountered by the piston and caution must be taken to ensure that the fuel air mixture is burned in the most efficient manner possible to decrease the amount of pollutants which are produced during the combustion process and subsequently delivered to the atmosphere. At the same time, the peak pressures in the cylinder imposes load on the piston .
which can place a severe burden on the lubricating medium and in the long term damage both piston and bearings associated therewith.

Thus the piston in a modern diesel must be as light as possible in order to reduce the mass of material which is reciprocated for each stroke of the engine. The piston must also have sufficient strength to withstand the severe loads placed upon it during combustion and the piston must also maintain a temperature profile which will give the "best" combustion of the fuel air mixture for reasons of efficiency and environmental considerations. It is to this end that the piston of the present invention has been developed.

Improved engine efficiency has been a primary goal for diesel engine designers and while the task presents a significant challenge to the designer of a "new" engine, the task has proven to be extremely difficult in instances where the design parameters are largely already defined, such as would be the case of older, proven engines where it is desired to "rebuild the engine" with components that increase engine efficiency, reduce exhaust pollutants and do not jeopardize engine life.

It is with this object in view that this invention relates.
One such application is the design of a replacement piston for an engine which is fairly large, and which engine has a proven service record, and the specific engine to which this relates is the ALCO
Model 251 Series '~'-type diesel engine previously manufactured under license by Bombardier Inc. in Quebec, Canada and now manufactured by General Electric Canada Inc. in Quebec, Canada.
The constraints on the designer of the piston are such that the same components be used in associa~ion with the redesigned piston, ie ~ ~:
the block, crankshaft and connecting rods and bearings used previous to the "new" piston design may be successfully utilized in the modified ALCO 251 engine, and yet be able to realize the desired improvement in operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to this invention, there is provided a replacement piston the ALCO Model 251 diesel engine which will be of a two piece construction. A crown or cap (which is the subject of this invention) is attached to a body such that the two parts form an :
integral piston which will provide more efficient engine operation than the piston of the prior art ALCO 251 diesel engines.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS ~:
The following is a more detailed description of some of the embodiments of the invention by way of example.

Reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a view of the composite piston assembly.

Figure 2 is a sectional view of the piston cap of the prior art, showing the body sleeve in phantom;

~, . ~......... .. . .............................. .

Figure 3 is a top perspective view of the cap of the piston which is the subject of this invention.

Figure 4 is a sectional view piston cap of this invention.

Figure 1 is shown to illustrate the general nature of the composite piston assembly to which this invention relates.

Figure 2 illustrates a piston cap or crown of the prior design for the ALCO 251 V16 engine. It will be appreciated that the piston cap shown is the upper part of the piston assembly shown in Figure 1 which acts as a seal in the cylinder, however the lower part of the piston assembly, ie the cylindraceous sleeve or body which houses a connecting rod pin will not be shown further or described in detail herein as it forms no part of this invention. The piston cap shown in Figures 2 and 3 has a nominal diameter of about 9" and a height from the bottom surface to the top of the crown of about 3 1/2". The piston cap shown is composed of a steel alloy and is provided with three grooves and adjacent lands for receiving piston rings in the lower part of the skirt. These grooves are designated as 12, 14, and 16. The top of piston 10 has a flat annular surface 18 which is provided with four valve pockets 20, 22, 24 and 26.

The piston cap is provided with a depression or bowl 28 which is curved sharply downwardly at the surface 30 near the exterior of the piston cap 10 to a point of maximum depression at 32 and the bowl rises at a shallow angle to a high point 34 at the center of the bowl and cap. The point of maximum depression in this instance will be about 1.1" below surface 18. The lower surface of the crown is a complex shape formed by surfaces of revolution so that it is essentially hollow. Near the exterior at the top of the lower surface of the piston cap is a circular groove 36 which rises deeply into the piston cap 10 at ever increasing diameter but at substantially constant width. A second concentric groove 38 spaced somewhat .. . .................. .

inwardly from groove 36 is formed at the lower surface of the piston cap 10. Between grooves 36 and 38 is a first flat land 40 which will be used to bear on the lower part of the piston assembly, such as that shown in Figure 1. A second flat land 42 is also shown on a lower surface of the piston cap 10 for support of the centre of the piston bowl. Finally the lower surface of the piston cap is produced into a single shaft 46 which is provided with a threaded end 48 so that the piston cap 10 may be rotatably secured to the lower body of the piston assembly.

The ALCO Model 251 piston cap 10 of the prior art has -functioned satisfactorily in the transportation industry for many years I
in circumstances wherein the compression ratio to be withstood by the piston 10 would be in the order of 11.5 to 1.

Referring now to Figures 3 and 4 a piston cap110 of the present invention is shown having a nominal diameter of 9" and a depth of about 3.5". Piston cap 110 has grooves 112, 114, and 116 for receiving piston rings at the lower part of the skirt. The top of piston cap 110 has an annular flat surface 118 which is interrupted by four valve pockets 120, 122, 124 and 126 formed therein. The central top portion of the top surface has been provided with a shallow bowl 128 which is shaped such that the bowl surface 130 slopes downwardly and inwardly in a shallow angle to reach its maximum depth at 132, which is about 0.9" below surface 118. The surface rises in a shallow angle to a shallow apex 134 at the centre of the top surface of bowl 128. Apex 134 rises almost to the height of annular surface 118.

The lower surface of the piston cap 110 is essentially hollow and provided with an exterior groove 136 which rises in a complex shape at an increasing diameter and variable width.
Concentrically located in the lower surface is a second groove 138 somewhat spaced from groove 136 and between which is a flat annular shaped land 140 which is provided for support of the lower .

surface on the lower body assembly of the composite piston (which is not shown).

A second flat annular land 142 is formed in the interior of the lower surface of the piston cap 110 adjacent to which is developed a shaft 144, which projects downwardly from the centre of the lower surface of the piston cap 110. Threaded portion 146 of shaft 144 corresponds to threaded section 48 of piston cap 10 of Figure 1.

The piston cap shown in Figures 3 and 4 is formed of a steel alloy and has the same nominal outer diameter as the piston cap shown in Figures 2 and 3. However, it will become immediately apparent to the reader that the top surface of the piston cap 110 is substantially different from the piston cap shown in Figure 1. The bowl of 128 of ~he piston cap 110 is of a much shallower nature than the bowl 28 of the piston cap 10. Both piston caps are intended for operation in cylinders of the same nominal diameter and piston cap 110 provides an overall improvement in fuel efficiency of approximately one and half percent (1.5%). In an engine which may use as many as 12 or 16 cylinders of a nominal diameter of about 9"
this improvement is substantial over its operating life.

It is not entirely understood why the improvement results, however, it is believed that the piston cap 110 leads to a more complete combustion of the fuel-air mixture than does piston cap 10.

The operation of a diesel engine is concerned with high internal pressures in a combustion chamber during the compression stroke, and a minimum amount of diesel fuel is injected into the hot compressed air usually beginning just before top dead centre. In most diesel engines, the fuel-air mixture is quite lean (in comparison to a gasoline burning engine) and the reasons for incomplete combustion of the burning fuel in a diesel are not well understood.

The surface temperature of the parts of the piston and surrounding cylinder walls will certainly have a bearing on the combustion process within the cylinder. It will be seen that the bowl of the piston cap 110 is much shallower than the bowl of piston cap 10 of the prior art. The propagation of the flame front from the point of injection to the piston as it moves away from top dead centre will no doubt be substantially different for pistons caps 10 and 110.

The heat transfer of the surrounding cylinder is expected to remain a constant regardless of whether the piston cap 110 or piston cap 10 is employed, however, the piston cap 10 will have considerably different heat transfer properties through the head of the piston than piston cap 11 0.

It is noted that the improvement in performance has resulted largely from a deviation from the previous shape of the prior art piston cap design. It is to be noted that there has been no change in material from which the piston cap is fabricated and there has been no attempt to alter the heat transmissibility of the piston cap by the use of exotic coatings. Indeed, the piston cap has been the only change that results in the improvement of engine fuel efficiency. Note that the compression ratio has not been altered by the new piston cap design.
., While the piston cap described in this invention has been precisely described, minor changes will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
