Abstract
A method of improving the effectiveness of braking a reversible four-stroke V type Diesel engine with an even number of at least ten working cylinders fitted with individual starting valves sequentially fed from an engine-driven rotary pressure air distributor, the method consisting in reducing the duration of pressure air inlet to the distributor for one bank of cylinders with respect to the other bank and optimizing such a shortened duration for each starting valve of one bank of cylinders during the braking step and possibly optimizing that for each starting valve of the other bank of cylinders for the restarting step.
