The paper presents a comparative analysis of the operational parameters and parameters of marine diesel engines obtained as a result of computational and theoretical studies with direct control of air flow using an adjustable turbocharger nozzle to ensure the maximum allowable efficiency of diesel engines. The objects under study are: two-stroke marine diesel engine, operating on the screw characteristics; marine four-stroke diesel working on the screw characteristics; marine four-stroke diesel working on the load characteristics. As a result of the rotation of the blades of the adjustable nozzle in the direction of reducing the angle of their installation the diesel engine efficiency increases. However, the maximum pressure of the cycle also increases, the pressure drop decreases during purging the cylinders, the effective angle of gas exit from the turbine nozzle decreases, and the compressor's surge stability margin changes. There has been studied the design potential of diesel engines for the maximum increase in their efficiency, which made it possible to accept the stable operation of the compressor in all the studied modes. In the course of the research, boundary values were found for the maximum pressure of the diesel cycle, the pressure drop for purging the cylinders and the effective angle of flow exit from the nozzle apparatus, beyond which the specified parameters did not go beyond all the studied modes of operation of diesels. Taking into account the limitations of the greatest potential for improving efficiency in the equity modes of loads has a four-stroke diesel engine, operating on the screw characteristics, the smallest capacity is the same petrol, but working on the load characteristics.
