cooler air; second, it results in an air charge of higher density and pressure at the end of the suc- tion stroke. The provision of a greater amount of fresh air permits the combustion of a greater quantity of fuel and, consequently, a higher out- put from a turbo-charged engine than from one not so equipped. Scavenging the combustion space with fresh air cools the cylinder head, cylinder walls, valves and piston. For this reason a greater amount of fuel can be burned, and greater power devel- oped in an engine turbo-charged with the Buchi system without harmful effects on these engine parts due to excessive heat. The speed and out- put of the turbo-chargers vary automatically and promptly with variations in engine load or speed. thermostatically controlled. In the front, full-vision cab are the operator's and helper's cushioned seats, hand-operated ventilator, windshield wip- ers, defrosters, heaters, speedometer, gages, water cooler and the like. These and other special equipment items were selected and applied with a view to attaining maximum convenience, safety and efficiency in this Seaboard giant of the rails. |
