Big Cold Diesel Engines Starting Up and Sounding

[@jamesshanks2614]

Spraying starting either into the air intake of a running engine is a good way to pop a piston out of the engine. When there running rough due to the cold simply wait until it warms up and runs smooth.

[@fabriziocamera4990]

Exactly

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Then you should never watch professional tractors pullers start 2000 hp motors because the go through 6 cans of either keeping them running after they have started.

[@lectro88]

yup, what I call not too smart.... when it runs long enough, it'll smooth out and wake up.

[@johnw2026]

I owned an 81 Chevy Scottsdale with a diesel several years ago, when i lived in an apartment complex. It didn't have a working block heater, so i had a oil heater in place of the dipstick, and on cold days i'd just lay on the glow plugs for 2 or 3 minutes. I had neighbors threatening to call the police on me in the winter because of how loud that devil was and how long it took me to start it on a cold winter morning, lol! They never did, or if they did, the cops didn't care. But every morning that i went to work, i woke the neighbors trying to crank it....thinking back, i think it was funny. Wish i still had it.

[@jamesshanks2614]

In 1980 I had a VW diesel rabbit that was difficult to start in winter, turns out that only 2 glow plugs worked. Replaced all 4 with new ones then had to add a bigger battery in the trunk with, with a 4D to have sufficient cranking power. Once it fired up smoke central. I'd simply let it idle until it ran on all 4 cylinders. Was hired by a local gas station who installed the 4D battery with a 25 foot jumper cable when the temperature dropped to minus 25. I made just over $500 jumping cars that simply needed a bigger battery. Mine had a block heater which is why it started. Even then it ran like crap until it warmed up.

Annie Mooney train engine, those are massive in size. The piston is about the size of a normal human head

[@harrothepilot]

Also, an EMD 12-645E3 two stroke diesel has 12 compressions per revolution, so the rrRRrrRRrrRRrrRRrr you commonly hear, is less pronounced. Most EMD's with starters, have TWO starters, operating simultaneously, just for the sheer size of the engine they have to turn over. Imagine the current draw of those starters!!!, massive.

[@nthgth]

@@harrothepilot diesel trains run battery-powered motors, right? With the engines there to keep the batteries charged? Makes sense that batteries than can provide enough current to move a train can also start such a massive engine. Still, I can't _imagine_ the CCA required 😄

[@harrothepilot]

@@nthgth NO, the batteries are there to start the diesel, lighting, instruments etc. The alternator that the EMD drives, is what is used to power the traction motors. In a Co-Co arrangement ( 6 traction motors ), each traction motor may be 150Kw, multiply that by six and you need a huge alternator to have any hope of keeping power up to them, a drain that batteries could never achieve. There are experimental locos in the U.S. where they remove the one big prime mover/alternator, and install 4 or 6 smaller diesel/electric gensets, one to each traction motor. Cheers

The colder it gets the more fuel it burns at start up when idling. I always start Carleton it idle while I connect my phone to car then seat belts. About 20 seconds but it makes a huge difference to wear and tear on the engine. Also I drive slowly while the engine is cold.

You do realize diesel is way less intrusive to the air right?

[@davidellis279]

Why do people want to rev diesels when their freezing cold ???the fuel won't atomise properly at low temperatures hence all the smoke,if you just let it idle for a couple of minutes while the Pistons warm up a little the fuel will burn better and there will be less smoke,Volvo trucks have a good idea with a big heater element in the inlet which stays on for about 30 seconds after start up,never known them not to start no matter how cold it's been if the batteries are good.

[@1towmater1]

If you understand how a diesel engine works you would know why. A diesel is a giant sir pump that uses the heat from compression to ignite the fuel. Ron is controlled by restricting fuel so if your pumping a ton of air thru with little fuel you win build anybheat so the engine actually smokes longer. That's why diesels will cool down when idling. Semi's will actually lose the heater when going downhill with the engine brake on

[@davidellis279]

1towmater1, I understand perfectly well how diesels work after working on them for 50years,and I know full well the worst thing to do is to Rev the balls of them when the engine is cold and the oil won't flow properly,what I don't understand is what your trying to tell me about them as you seem so well informed,and please spell correctly so I can read it.

[@solemndreamer6774]

You clearly don't know about diesels because when your fuel is cold your fuel molecules are smaller and you can that is spraying more fuel which equals more combustion and more power but yeah when a diesel gets warm it will run better but not as powerful

[@SpOOkyBubbleGum]

easy, you rev them alittle to keep them going, some diesels wont stay running by them selfs when they are freezing cold. and i know because i own 3 and they are all healty. they dont have glowplugs or grid heaters, so a little redline is nessesary :)

It’s not bad for em, just bad in large amounts. Used it for years, even old semis have an ether canister from the factory to help with cold starts.

[@pieterdewit9081]

Ether is just another fuel regarding the cold start. It burns much faster and also at a lower temp than diesel. The cold engine takes away the builded up temperature rise by compression and than its difficult for diesel to ignite itself. Don't spray ether directly in the inlet manifold, your engine will knock severely. There's a chance that 1 cilynder gets most of the ether. Just before the airfilter is the best for spraying because it mixes with the intake air much better. Using ether for a cold engine is not a problem as long as there is oilpressure. Spray while you're cranking.
