Abstract
Few industrial engines of over 400 kW have been designed specifically for industrial application alone and many are aimed to provide for marine, industrial, and traction requirements. This procedure is usually adopted in order to spread the high costs of designing and developing a new engine over a greater number of units. Ref. 1 describes the engines produced by one manufacturer using this philosophy. In this chapter the general characteristics of the engines are described but specific engines can vary appreciably from one another and the detailed characteristics should be obtained from the manufacturers.2–8 Reference 2 is a comprehensive catalogue describing engines manufactured world-wide; reference 3 deals with British engines; ref 4–8 cover Japanese, Italian, French, German, and Belgian equipment respectively. In the chapter, reference to values in kW apply to engine output, unless otherwise stated (1 hp = 0.7457 kW = 0.9863 metric hp).
