ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AIR COOLED M.W.M. DIESEL ENGINES

The paper contains the fundamental evaluation of air and water cooling of engines. The problems of air-cooling in general and those of the component parts are explained in detail. The combustion process is described and the special problems arising from it are discussed. The construction of the air-cooled M.W.M. engines are described and illustrated.
