As if opposing piston designs weren’t already different enough, the Napier Deltic engine takes it a step further. Moving to a three-crank configuration. As the “Deltic” name alludes to, the cylinders are arranged in the form of a triangle, with each cylinder making up each side, and crankshafts at the triangle’s vertices.

The Load Regulator is to a Deltic power unit, what an TCU (Transmission Control Unit), is to a modern car. It controls the amount of electrical power produced by the main generator, in response to engine load. At the centre of the LR is a Vane Motor. This is a doughnut - shaped chamber with a stop at the top. Inside the chamber is a very close fitting paddle or 'vane'. Two small apertures at the top, one on either side, permit a regulated amount of oil, fed by the engine governor, to move the va

The Napier Deltic was a high-speed, two-stroke diesel engine developed in the United Kingdom by D. Napier & Son in the 1950s. Its most distinctive feature was its triangular (“delta”) layout: three banks of cylinders arranged in a triangle, with three crankshafts—one at each corner—connected by gears. The Deltic used an opposed-piston design, meaning each cylinder contained two pistons moving toward each other without a conventional cylinder head. This configuration made the engine compact, ligh
