Piston velocity either mean or peak may not be the best measure of maximum engine. View and download armstrong acum110 owners manual online. Remember, they probably sell sets of pistons or more, for every set they sell where piston speed is an issue. Since the piston actually comes to a complete stop at the top of the stroke tdc and at the bottom of the stroke bdc, its speed and acceleration at any given point is always changing.

You can get a very close approximation of maximum piston speed ignoring rod centertocenter length and rod angularity with the following formula. Rod stroke ratio fully explained planetminis forums. Medium speed diesel engines for maritime applications. Mean effective pressure mep mep is a fictitious pressure that, if acted on the piston during the entire power stroke, would produce the same amount of net work as that produced during the actual cycle mean effective pressure mep is the work done per unit displacement volume. The formula for mean piston speed yields an average speed based on two times the stroke up and down for one revolution, times the engine speed rpm divided by 12 to convert to feet per minute fpm. If the power unit is to be enclosed totally, a cooling test should be done to check. The first term gives the piston friction, assuming a hydrodynamic regime.
