Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

Closeup model of the AT IC motor 1 (Diesel version). The AT IC 1 motor is a line motor, double-overhead cam motor, with 8 valves, and 4 cylinders (L4, DOHC, 8V). The model is fitted with 1 fuel tank, filled with a 2nd generation fuel (ie vegetable oil). The motor is also fitted with: a governor, a dynamo, a centrifugal pump, an oil pump (gear pump), a simplified thermostat. Unlike the gasoline version of the IC motor 1, the Diesel version only has 8 valves (as mentioned above), aswell as only 2 pipes (1 inlet/1 outlet) connected to the cylinder, and a seperate fuel inlet. The fuel is introduced to the cylinder using 2 Ricardo chambers. The Ricardo chambers are heated using glow plugs (1 glow plug per Ricardo chamber). The oil pump pumps the oil around, ensuring suitable lubrication of the moving parts. Note that the cam rods, springs, ... and the buildup of the motor is designed in such a way that everything can be easily assembled/disassembled. The oil system used is a wet sump system. The diaphragm pump for pumping the fuel is not essential, since the fuel is gravity-powered anyway (to before the governor, after it, the helix/jerk pumps take over). For details on the water circulation, see the IC_1_setups model and text. See the 'Purchasing_the_models' link at appropedia's AT_CAD_Team for additional information on the model
