Two Cylinder Bessemer

Sorry but this was taken at the Coolspring show 4 years ago. If it shows up again, I would try to get more detail.

[keyboardjeff]

Can you upload a longer video with more details, I'd like to see the valves and the piston size.

[dave16405]

No, this is a throttle governed engine. It fires regularly with the governor controlling fuel delivery and therefor speed.

[agello24]

is this considered a hit and miss engine? like they used to use in the old days.

[dave16405]

In the days before electricity was available everywhere this type of engine was used to provide power for factories, pumping water for municipalities generating electricity for areas where public power wasn't available and numerous other applications.

This was taken at the Coolspring, PA show in June of 2007.

This is a 100hp Cooper Bessemer. It is a true diesel, with dual American Bosch injector pumps. The engine has a 10.5"X15" bore and stroke respectively.

[douro20]

It's most likely a semi-diesel, but the name is a misnomer because Rudolf Diesel had no hand in the development of the hot-bulb oil engine. It was developed in the 1870s by Akroyd and Stuart.

[douro20]

It's an oil engine, isn't it/

[dave16405]

Yes, it's an oil engine. I don't know, however, if it is a full diesel or a "semi-diesel" of some kind.

@dave16405

An "oil engine" is the type which uses a hot-bulb vaporizer. The fuel pump sprays the fuel into the hotbulb vaporizer where it is vaporized before the piston reaches the top of compression- at that point the compressed air/fuel takes fire and forces the piston down.
