Maybe not completely bullshit, it depends on the supplier for bio-diesel. If the company puts more work into purifying it there can be less contaminates in the fuel, so pumps and injectors may last a little longer.
Iread something that one of Diesels engines ran on air injected coal dust,had a compression ratio of OVER 50-1 and coal dust actually blew it up!Whats this machines compression ratio?
The normal compression for a direct injection are about 18-1 and compression pressure up to 25-30 bar , the injector had not self atomizing fuel needle by fuel pressure as in modern diesel injector. Therefore the injector need airpressure to make atomized fuel.
Another engine of this design was delivered in 1904 by Burmeister & Wain to the N. Larsen Carriage Factory and is currently sitting, in fully restored condition, at Dieselhouse in Copenhagen. It was the first engine they delivered, and is very much identical to Diesel's first successful engine.
Except for the air-blast injection. It uses compressed air to do the actual injection. Air pressure ranging from 650 to 900 psi is fed into the injector and used to force the fuel into the cylinder when the injector opens. This is how they did it before precision high-pressure pumps were developed which allowed for solid injection without compressed air.
Single cylinder 4-stroke with eccentric driven fuel pump with cam actuated injector using compressed air for actual injection at pressures between 650 psi (idle) and 900 psi (full load) air blast injection. 25hp at 240 rpm.
It uses compressed air to get it started. As with all engines of this design, it is quite temperamental and very difficult to cold-start. As you probably heard in the video, it only fired for a short amount of time and they couldn't get it to sustain itself, at least not this time.
She took some sorting when first run but if you listen to the Engines At The Museum Clip she now now starts very well (touch wood).
The only tricky bit is "feeling" the fuel when starting as the setting is done manually until you feel her start to pick up. She starts well down to fairly low temperatures and will be running on New Years Day where the temp is usually around zero.
regarding fuel temp, well since the fuel pump is literally bolted to the side of the block, the hotter the engine gets, the warmer the fuel gets which is a good thing. most people in the owners club fit fuel heaters to get rid of cold starting issues but its not real bad. ive never thought too much about injection timing. ive heard where people have it just 1 notch out either way you lose power so thats as far as thought has gone..
engine still going strong today. the only thing thats bad, is that below 10c it takes longer than normal to start, and dont even try to drive it immediatly, you wont have any accellerating power. so i leave it idling for 2 minutes until the last stage of the glow plugs shut off. any longer than this and it will eventually mis-fire where its not warm enough. you can drive slowly after this point until engine temp is 1/4 then its fine. u do lose some pullin power with veg, but used to be worth it
19 frekin' 12? Soo cool... I want one of these in my car!

Is this the engine removed from Somerford pumping station in Brewood?

@Pugjamin Yes, engine and dynamo removed in 2004.

Very nice engine there, great to see the early engines preserved,and in running condition.
Roudolph Diesel`s invention is one of the best in efficency,and long life.

fuck burmeister & wain, long life sulzer, builder of the giant of the seas!!!!
good old swiss industry company, switzerland has no seas, but constructs the best engines ever built!!! this is a fact known all over the world!!!!
cheers so far

Amazing that the principles are still exactly the same in the most modern diesel engines of today!

Sort of Common Rail, but in Common Rail is the diesel fuel itself to get high pressure, not the pushing air.

Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, camshaft driven by vertical worm shaft, cam-actuated plunger injection pump, probably 20-25hp.

I thought it was using compressed air by the sound that produces.
Nice machine!

I bet it would also run on vegetable oil.
Diesel made the some experiments with nut-oil.
He also said one time we will use veggie oil only ;)
I converted my car.
and hell it works fine

so you didnt change your injection timing?

nope. i just mix it with white spirit and <10% diesel and its dandy

my question regarding your injection timing is just one of many i could ask you. what temperature is your fuel at?

cool. thanks for your observations

i forgot to mention that my car is not common rail, and has an older type fuel pump that can cope with veg.

well let me know how you get on. id be interested to see how long your engine lasts.

normally they run cleaner and last longer on bio diesel (veg oil)
