Book Description
Excerpt from Marine Gas Engines: Their Construction and Management The rapid development of the gas engine during the past few years has made possible a great increase in the use of small units of power for various purposes. This is shown by the increasing use of the gas engine in automobiles, power-boats, and many other places where compact powers are necessary. The gas engine, for small powers particularly, has many advantages over the steam engine. It is self-contained, with no cumbersome boiler, feed pumps, and piping. It is comparatively light and easily installed. As there is no fuel to be handled it is easily kept clean, and as the supply of fuel is nearly automatic, it may be run with the minimum amount of care, and little labor is required beyond the regulation of the lubrication and the fuel supply. Properly installed and in good hands, the gas engine may be nearly as reliable as the steam engine. The underlying principle of the operation of any engine, whether gas or steam, is the fact that a gas tends to expand when heat is applied to it, and if allowed to do so has the power of doing work. Any gas or vapor will absorb heat; during the process its tendency to expand is increased, or in other words, the pressure is increased. If the gas or vapor can then be confined, as in the cylinder of an engine, and allowed to expand, it can be made to do work upon the piston. In the steam engine the heat is applied to the boiler, vaporizing the water and raising the pressure of the vapor in the boiler. The vapor is then carried to the boiler under pressure, and allowed to expand in the cylinder, thus doing work on the piston. The action of the steam engine is thus complicated by the boiler, piping, and pumps, and the operation by the care necessary to feed the fuel, and maintain the proper quantity of water in the boiler.
