The history of Detroit Diesel roots back to 1938 when General Motors re-organized an older engine company called Winton which it bought back in 1930. It had been known as a large diesel manufacturer and the new firm, Cleveland Diesel Engine Division, was meant to scale up the production line. Developed prior in mid-1930s by GM Research Division, the plant was finishing machines and tooling for a production launch of a more compact power unit.

@Wingnut353 Год назад

@@mikegray8808 all the detroit diesels have blowers yes, but as he was saying many have a blower bypass valve + turbo this removes the pressure load from the blower essentially freewheeling it.... sure there is a little drag still but its a good compromise. The roots blowers are also very efficient as they supply pressure pulses rather than constant pressure. Current Achates power designed engines are kinds of like two detroit disel blocks pointed at each other and geared together (with the vale train completely removed.. and on top of that they can hit 50+% efficiency targeting 55+%.

@Wingnut353 Год назад

@Retired Bore I don't think any of the achates engines have gone for an electric blower yet... since that would require a pretty beefy electric motor that isn't used 99% of the rest of the time, it would make more sense to just disengage the blower entirely, bypass it and rely on the turbo or a pair of turbos small and large or an electrically assisted turbo at idle. When running unloaded they are obviously 100% drag.... since they arent' doing anything at all so your statement that they are inefficient unloaded is well... it should go without saying. Perhaps an electrically assisted turbo would make a lot of sense as it could also be used to reduce turbo lag.

@CaptHollister Год назад

It's even more impressive when you realize that VisioRacer got the conversion wrong. He converted using Imperial gallons (1 Imperial gallon=4.25 liters), but in reality he should have converted using US gallons where 1 US gallon = 3.75 liters.

They were a pain to get started, but would run until out of fuel without any problems, if you kept the fuel tank full it would run a very long time. They need to be topped off with oil a lot.

@jamesgeorge4874 Год назад

Great vid, neat little chunk of history, I was told the 1-71 was more proof of concept / viability then expected sales leader, and GM put that to the test very shortly thereafter the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The 71 series was built with roller valve lifters, and injector actuators, and were technologically far ahead of other engines, save for aircraft engines of the era. Notwithstanding the 1-71, the rest of the family are happy to spin at governed rpm, which is pretty high, for a diesel. Happy 2023 !

In short terms, the Detroit Diesels 2-stroker, especially the series 71 was just a scaled down EMD 567s because it uses some principled from the 567 but modified to suit the needs and reliability... However, the only thing that isn't scaled down from the EMD 567 is the Clutched-Turbocharger from the EMD 567D3 series, so they just stuck a Turbo on top of the Blower and later puts an intercooler on it...

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

Two stroke diesels actually don’t need any valves and oil is carried in a dump like any other engine. An air blower feeds air into the intake ports while exhaust escapes from the opposite side. Fuel is added long after the ports have closed so they are clean. Black smoke is entirely to over-injecting the fuel. Control it electronically and it runs clean.

Opposed piston diesels work the same way but are even more efficient because heat gets into pistons rather than cylinder heads.

@El_Chompo Год назад

I would love to see an experiment where they made a 2 stroke diesel, but replaced the blower with turbos. I know it wouldn't be practical but I think it would still work, you would just have to power the turbine to spool it up before it could start, maybe with one of those hybrid electric turbos like they use in racing now. The reason it would be interesting to me is because turbos are so much more efficient than blowers. You might even be able to just have a tank dedicated to storing compressed air that built pressure while running and then was used to blow into the engine to get it started and that way you might not even need to spool the turbos. Man I wish I had the time and means for projects like these... I love these fun ideas. Edit: Oh there was a turbo one at the end. I was too exited to watch the whole thing before I started commenting. Very cool. It didn't mention though how it started up though without the positive displacement of the blower.

@Bata.andrei Год назад

The blower is not used for supercharging. It is purely used for scavenging. There are two stroke Detroit diesel engines that are turbocharged, but they also have the roots blower. The uniflow design cannot function whitout forced scavenging.

@El_Chompo Год назад

@@Bata.andrei Ahhh ok thanks for the clarification. Yeah I'm pretty sure you could make a purely turbo one work, you would just need to "jump start" the airflow because it wouldn't start with just a turbo but if you blasted some air in during startup I think you could get it going on just the turbo. I could be wrong but it would be fun to try.

@Bata.andrei Год назад

i always feel the single cylinder engine hasn't been fully explored, for example in budget cars. with modern complexity in head/fuel design, it seems like an awful lot of expensive duplication and difficult servicing compared to a single. i have found the thumper character to be quite charming on a bike, and suspect most of the resistance in the car market is irrational ... partly out of the assumption that budget cars must mimic more expensive ones because their owners are insecure my favorite single cylinder is the ducati supermono, which achieves v-twin primary balance with a dummy piston weight -- and neatly avoids a fiddly chain-driven balance shaft. why did this never resurface? am i daft for wondering why sophisticated single cylinders aren't powering cars in developing markets?

Because for even an economy car in modern times you would want about 70-100hp. That’s hard to get with a single without it being so big it’s going to be a lot of extra complexity and work to get it smooth. Even then it’s going to shake just because of the big individual power pulses. 3 cylinders are becoming common because it’s an efficiency benefit over a 4 cylinder without adding much complexity or loss of power.

This information about the Litrage of each cylinder is correct and is the same for 53 series? because have a website with informations about the 53 series, and doesent match with the 53 cubic inches per cylinder, the 3-53 is 2.6 litre with is already bigger displacemente than 71 series, and the 4-53 goes up to 4.0 litre displacement, I really became lost in this part

@tiesco Год назад

oh my god my brain is become bigger, i didnt know that the litre is the total volume of all cylinders, i think that is the volume of each cylinder, 4 years blind

This could be really interesting. Maybe polish up your ESL and get back to us.

Just an FYI, they (any of the 53,s & 71,s) weren't know as Detroit Diesels till 1965 when they changed the name from GM diesel. Notice in the video nowhere does it show "Detroit Diesel".

The really unique detroits are the 51 series, no valves.

Hey I'm a bit off topic, but what happened to the BoostLust channel? I'm curious to know what made you stop uploading to that channel.

I have never been part of the BoostLust brand, I do not even know who ran the project

I think this one gallon at 3:31 corresponds to 3.8 litres, as it concerns an American company. 😉👍

Tacoma diesel has a 1-71 cutaway display model in their store.

how to lubricate piston ?

@old_guard2431 Год назад

Good question. My impression is that there was no return line for the oil going up from the connecting rod bearing (“big” end) to the piston’s wrist pin, so some oil would flow out from that bearing to the cylinder walls. But I don’t know how it would have been distributed evenly around the cylinder. (The general concept is confirmed by an internet source, but it was vague on the actual mechanism for getting the oil from the connecting rods’ oil system to the cylinders.)

@old_guard2431 Год назад

Correction. The oil from the connecting rod ends up spraying the inside of the piston for cooling. The cylinders are splash-lubricated from the crankshaft counterweights etc spinning through oil in the sump.
