Swedish Oil Engines In English
Barqes And Chinese Junks

The development of the semi
Diesel motors burning crude oil,
such as are now universally en-
ployed in Swedish deep-sea fishing
craft, and also very widely used in
vessels of other nationalities, is
described in an interesting article
in the latest issue of Swedish
Foreign Commerce"
The Swedish engine developed
about the turn of the century for
this purpose, writes the paper,
was of the hot-bulb, valveless,
crankcase compression type which
is now generally called the semi
Diesel This type differed from
most of the then existing internal
combustion engines in that it was
of the two-cycle type. i. e. with
an explosion taking place at each
revolution of the crankshaft in
stead of every other revolution, as
is the case with most gasoline and
Diesel engines. AS compared with
other heavy oil engines the bulk
could in consequence be very
much reduced for the same
amount of power developed.
Experiments preceding the in
PRODUCTION of the first engine of
this type had been carried on by
Swedish manufacturers for some
thing like 10 years around the
turn of the century, and the first
ten units were placed on the mar
ket about 1904. The type finally
produced was a compact and ra-
Their heavily built engine, built for
rough service, and of such simple
design that it could be tended by

or experience. 1t is rather a pecu-
liar feature of this type of engine
that in the 40 years or so which
have elapsed since its introduce
ton. it is the same in appearance
and general design as when it
first came out
1t was the fishing fleets in
Northern waters that first bene-
fitted by the advent of the Swedish
oil engine. The owners of the old
wooden vessels needed an engine
that could be fitted. in the
cramped space available, that
could be run on cheap liquid fuel,
such as crude or residue oil, and
one which an ordinary fisherman
could look after. These fishing
fleets were rapidly motorized as
first stage in the introduction
of motor power on the high seas.
AS larger, multi-cylnder engines
of this type were produced, many
were fitted in big sailing vessels
as auxiliaries, so that at one time
80 per cent of the auxiliary en-
gines on the high seas were
equipped with Swedish Diesels.
Heavy oil engines of one Swed-
ish make or another may be
found, not only in the North At
lantic, but in the Caribbean, the
South Seas and tropical waters
generally. In junks on the Chinese
coasts and rivers they play an i'm
portant role. and more than 300
are used in barges on English in
land waterways alone. Larger
units of up to 600 HIP, are fitted
in tugs and small cargo vessels,
as well as in sailing ships and
pleaure yachts, as auxiliaries.
While the original design has
been retained in essentials, nu-
merous improvements on it have
naturally been made. The original
hot-bulb engines have become
semi-Diesels, which means that
the hot-bulb has disappeared, and
compression has been raised, so
that the engines can be started up
practically cold. They are now
universally equipped with a CEN
trifugal governor in combination
with a fuel injector, thus main
tanning very uniform speed. The
consumption of fuel has also been
very much lowered. Lightweight
models have been designed for
small craft and pleasure boats.
The Improvement of the heavy
oil engine of the two-stroke
valve-less type has proceeded
parallel with the evolution of the
Diesel engine. In the latter field
Sweden has also made important
contributions, especially during
the early stage, when Jonas Hes
selman radically altered the origi-
nal design, and introduced several
important features.
