Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Prickwillow engine museum, near to Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire, Great Britain.

Five cylinder Mirrlees, Bickerton and Day air-blast injection diesel. This was the earlier type of diesel that used high-pressure air injection with a 'pulveriser' to atomise the fuel. Blast air pressure was typically 900-1000 psi and produced by a multi-stage crankshaft driven compressor. This design was replaced by the modern type of 'solid injection' diesel.

This engine is run a few times every year and is quite a sight. It is much quieter than a modern higher speed, turbocharged diesel and makes a pleasant noise.
