Summary:

The feasibility of total cooling a single-cylinder diesel engine by various methods of introducing water into the combustion chamber was investigated, including direct injection, manifold injection, and manifold induction. The effects on diesel cycle performance, fuel economy, combustion characteristics, cycle events, exhaust gas emissions, and engine wear were determined. An investigation of practical means was conducted providing for the total internal cooling of the engine to eliminate the need for jacket cooling. Design cooling parameters were determined to make the engine completely self-sustaining by providing for 100% recovery of internally injected cooling water
