Review of the atypical systems of slow-speed two-stroke marine engines

Résumé

This article provides a review of the varying systems of slow-speed, two-stroke marine engines. The paper begins with the operating principles of the typical two-stroke engine cycle employed in these engines, highlighting the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust strokes. It then continues with defining and describing other unconventional systems rarely found on engines of different sizes and applications. The focus of the study case is on the systems that prevent pollution, as well as various other systems observed in larger marine engines.
