Product Introduction
OBJECTIVES
• Understand differences between Ajax and
separable compressors
• Discuss two stroke engine theory
• Discuss engine breathing (Intake and
exhaust system).
• Cover fuel injection system.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
AJAX AND TYPICAL
SEPARABLE
• AJAX • SEPARABLE
• Two stroke engine • Four stroke engine
• Common crankshaft • Coupling driven
compressor
• Low RPM design • Typically high RPM
• BMEP lower • BMEP higher

Exhaust System
Must ensure freedom of movement at the
foundations or damage will occur at the cylinder.
Counterweight
The exhaust systems on our Ajax units are TUNED.
The goal is to create a negative pressure @ the
exhaust port as it is uncovered. We also want the
return pulse to arrive at a time when it can stuff the
fresh air charge back into the cylinder just prior to the
exhaust port closing.
