External combustion engine
In this engine, the products of combustion of
air and fuel transfer heat to a second fluid
which is the working fluid of the cycle.

Internal combustion engine

In this engine, the combustion of air and fuels
take place inside the cylinder and are used as
the direct motive force

LAYOUT OF DIESEL POWER PLANT

26
 Advantages and Disadvantages of DPP
Advantages
(a) The design and layout of the plant are quite simple.
(b) It occupies less space as the number and size of the auxiliaries is small.
(c) can be located at any place.
(d) It can be started quickly and it can pickup load in a short time.
(e) There are no standby losses.
(f) It requires less quantity of water for cooling.
(g) The overall cost is much less than that of steam power station of same capacity.
(h) The thermal efficiency of the plant is higher than that of a steam power station.
(i) It requires less operating staff.
Disadvantages
(a) The plant has high running charges as the fuel (diesel) used is costly.
(b) The plant doesn’t work satisfactorily under overload conditions for a longer period.
(c) The plant can only generate small power.
(d) The cost of lubrication is generally high.
(e) The maintenances charges are generally high 27
