Engine fails to start on air

1. Insufficient air in the air bottle. check the pressure gauge .

2. Sticking air starting valve .

3. Turning gear interlock switch faulty .

4. Air distributor is faulty .

5. Exhaust valve is opened due to less air spring spring pressure.

6. Worn piston ring which leaks the air .

7. Automatic starting valve is faulty .

8. Bursting disc diaphragm is leaky .

9. Leakage in the pipeline due to corrosion .

10. Rack position is in manual mode . Change it through governor to automatic mode .

11. Booster pump is not building up pressure to the fuel pump.

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Cross and loop scavenging Disadvantage

Cross scavenging Disadvantage 1. It requires longer  piston skirt to prevent exhaust gas and air leaks from the ports when piston is at TDC . Loop scavenging Disadvantage 1. Both exhaust port and scavenge port are at the adjacent side of the liner which causes temperature differential problem for the liner material . Hence , we are using mostly the uniflow scavenging which is having very lesser mixing and better scavenging efficiency. Source : DA Taylor
