Q

A Roots-type blower installed on some diesel engines, serves to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Roots-type blower function on diesel engines • Difference between scavenging and supercharging • Where the air handled by the blower actually goes in a two- or four-stroke diesel

💭 Think About

• Think about which engine part a Roots blower is connected to: intake, exhaust, cooling system, or crankcase? • Ask yourself: is this device mainly about temperature control, removing exhaust, or supplying air for combustion? • Consider how large slow-speed and medium-speed diesels clear out exhaust and get a fresh air charge each cycle.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a Roots blower moves air or coolant. • Check if the blower’s air path is into the cylinders for combustion or into the crankcase for safety. • Eliminate any option that confuses cooling systems or crankcase ventilation with the primary job of a Roots blower.
