In Requirements for internal combustion engines of Piston type, each engine other than _______________ are fitted with vent systems independent of other engines for crankcases and sumps
Direct Answer
Option A: two-stroke crosshead diesel engines
Two-stroke crosshead diesel engines are exempted from certain independent crankcase venting requirements due to their design, which typically isolates the combustion space from the crankcase. Other engine types must maintain independent vent systems to prevent the migration of gas into the crankcase, which could lead to an explosive atmosphere within the engine structure.
