Low Speed 2-stroke Diesel Engine

As explained above, because 2-stroke diesel engines carry out the cycle of scavenging (intake), compression, combustion, and exhaust during 1 crankshaft rotation compared to 2 crankshaft rotations for 4-stroke diesel engines, they are able to produce the same output with a light weight and compact size.

These engines have a longer stroke and lower revolution speed through the adoption of a crosshead design and were designed for low fuel oil consumption in order to demonstrate their capabilities well when used for continuous operation in high-output areas.
