Lister Type Diesel Engine

Our Lister Diesel Engines are precisely manufactured and are highly in demand in the international market for its quality, durability and performance. They are extremely simple to handle and are easy to maintain. These irrigation pump engines are widely used in agriculture sector.

The ASHWAMEGH Vertical Diesel Engines are rated on the effective HP at Engine crankshaft as a Maximum Load for continuous running. These powers are obtained at any Level of elevation up to 700 ft. (210 meters) above sea level with fuel Oil of not less than 18,000 B. Th. U's per Ib.

One of the outstanding features of this irrigation pump engine is its ability to start instantly from cold without ancillary starting gear. Only hand starting is necessary without the aid of either heaters or cartridges even in the coldest climates.

The ASHWAMEGH lester diesel engines will gives satisfactory service on almost any grade of oil, preferably, light diesel oil and are of compression ignition Type with direct fuel injection, four stroke, water-cooled diesel engine.

A splash system of lubrication is provided for all bearings and piston liner and other moving parts such as valve push-rods and rocker arm bearings are easily accessible and occasional oiling with an oil can is all that is necessary.

The cylinder head is made of high quality cast iron and great care has been taken in its design to ensure quick running and good fuel consumption. The cylinder head cover is easily removable to give complete access to the valve gear and atomizer

All bearings on ASHWAMEGH engines are of bush bearing Type excepting the main bearing. The small end bearing and camshaft bearing are of high quality gun metal. The connecting rod bearings are of good quality white metal. The Cranshaft is fitted with taper-roller bearings as main bearings.

As an alternative arrangement, engine with bush bearings on cranshaft end can be supplied.

The lister diesel engine speed is controlled by a spring-loaded governor. The speed can be adjusted easily while the engine is running. The governor controls the fuel pump with variable delivery. It ensures that the required quantity of fuel for any given condition of running is accurately maintained.

This equipment is of the well-tried MICO (Bosch) Type. Millions of this Type are in use throughout the world and invariably give very reliable service. They are ground to very fine tolerance and are lapped together. This ensures freedom oil leakages.

The cylinder-liner is of the wet Type and is easily replaceable. It is made of close grained cast iron with special process of hard chrome and has an exceptionally long life. It is ground and lapped to very fine tolerance.

Engines with internal Type cylinder with liner can also supplied, if specially asked for.

The piston is made of high-quality cast iron and is ground to ensure a good fit in the liner with adequate clearance for satisfactory running. It is fitted with four compression rings and one oil ring.

Both the exhaust and intel valves are made of heat resisting high quality silicon steel to ensure long life.

A large capacity fuel filter is fitted in the filtering medium being a special fabric which is easily cleaned or cheaply replaced. The use of this filter ensure long and trouble-free functioning of the fuel injection mechanism.

The diesel engine is water cooled. The heat generated during the compression is suitably carried away by the water flowing through the cylinder block and cylinder head with suitable outlet provided in the systems.

The engine is fitted with two well balanced cast iron flywheels which keep the speed variation to a minimum under the most fluctuation load conditions.

Every lester type diesel engine is tested on full load for power and fuel characteristics.

Parts used in ASHWAMEGH Diesel oil engine are of best selected quality and subject to rigid test before assembly by skilled hands under expert supervision ASHWAMEGH Engines need minimum replacement of spare parts.

Each ASHWAMEGH Engine is given ISI Mark after it passes through all the vigourous testes required under the Indian standards Specification No. IS : 11170

Following equipment are given free with the engine. Fuel Tank, Silencer, Starting handle, Spanner set. Foundation bolts, Oil-can, Screw Driver, Air Filter, Maintenance Booklet & Pulley.
