The Development of Pielstick Engines

The latest development of PA6 engine is the Colt-Pielstick PA6B STC. This was designed to meet the requirement of ships that required high-propulsion power along with a lightweight installation. This engine is available in 12-, 16-, 18-, and 20-cylinder configurations and is designed particularly to meet the requirements of commercial and naval markets.

This engine features STC i.e. the Sequential Turbo Charging that uses parallel two turbo chargers for proficient full-power operation and in case of low speed, high torque operation it uses only one turbo charger. With the use of one turbo charger, the energy from the whole engine is maximized instead of only half the engine. For the smooth functioning of the machine, it is crucial that the pielstick parts are readily available. Ad sales Ltd is the leading supplier of pielstick parts.

The Crankshaft Grinding

Crankshaft is the heart of any internal combustion engine. It is the chunk of metal that spins at a very high rate in order to move the piston up and down. Crankshaft is one of the strongest or toughest components in an engine. You would feel the need to repair or replace all the other components present before the crank disintegrates. As it is a big chunk of metal utmost care needs to be taken to use it. If it is handled in an improper way, chances are that it may destroy the engine internally.
The crankshaft grinding is a very straight forward process. The main journals can be grounded by placing the crankshaft nose into the head stock chuck. The machine is then set to an appropriate stroke and counter weights are set after which the rod journals are grounded. The crankshaft is reversed in the machine for reverse rotation marine applications that helps in better finish for reverse rotation motors.
