The first diesel engine, DM140, delivered by B&W in 1904 to “N.Larsen Vognfabrik i København”. www.dieselhouse...
In 1895, one of world history’s most important patents issued. Dr Rudolf Diesel got a patent on the pioneering the diesel engine, and Burmeister & Wain was among the first few companies who had the foresight to acquire the patent. In 1898, Rudolf Diesel transferred the Danish patent rights to his famous motor to Burmeister & Wain A / S. Initially a test engine with 20 horsepower was constructed. The design was in line with the original German drawings, but the result did not live up to expectations. Later, B & amp; W built their own type of engine where cylinder construction, fuel pump and control device based drawings, with significant deviations from the originals. In this context, B & amp; W was the first who mounted the air pump as an A-frame mounted on the engine base frame and directly driven by the crankshaft. In addition, it was done as a two-stage air pump, in place of the former method in which the air taken from the engine cylinder during the compression stroke and then compressed in one step.
The first diesel engine supplied by B&W, was commissioned by N. Larsen carriage factory in Copenhagen. The engine was ready to test in the spring of 1904, met all expectations in terms of reliability and economy and could easily burn “Texas Oil”, which was a condition for a profitable operation. It would drive a dynamo for the production of light power. The diesel engine, type DM140 (one cylinder and 40 EHK), had a cylinder diameter of 320 mm, a stroke of 490 mm and developed 40 EHK at 180 rev. / Min.
The engine was bought back, in the early 1940s, by Burmeister & Wain to be presented in B&W Museum as “B&W’s first commercial diesel engine”. In fact it was built after the initial prototype diesel engine. The engine had immediately before it came to B&W Museum been sold to A/S Søvangs drying plant at Horsham Station in Jutland. The engine was in 2006 moved from B&W Museum to DieselHouse, where it is placed in running order.
