NATO Supply Class 2815 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 28, which is dedicated to Engines, Turbines, and Components. Specifically, NATO Supply Class 2815 focuses on Diesel Engines and Components.

Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that use the heat of compression to ignite the fuel. They are commonly used in various applications, including vehicles, generators, and industrial machinery. Diesel engines are known for their efficiency, durability, and ability to generate high torque.

NATO Supply Class 2815 includes a wide range of components related to diesel engines. Some examples of components that fall under this classification are:

1. Engine blocks: The main structure of the engine that houses the cylinders, pistons, and other internal components.
2. Cylinder heads: The top part of the engine block that contains the combustion chambers and valves.
3. Pistons: The moving components within the cylinders that transfer the force of combustion to the crankshaft.
4. Crankshafts: The rotating shaft that converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion.
5. Camshafts: The shaft responsible for opening and closing the engine's valves at the appropriate times.
6. Fuel injection systems: The components that deliver fuel into the combustion chambers at the right pressure and timing.
7. Turbochargers: Devices that increase the engine's power output by compressing the incoming air.
8. Exhaust systems: Components that guide and control the flow of exhaust gases out of the engine.

These are just a few examples of the components included in NATO Supply Class 2815. The classification encompasses a wide range of parts and accessories necessary for the operation and maintenance of diesel engines.

By organizing diesel engines and components into specific supply classes, NATO aims to facilitate procurement, logistics, and standardization efforts among member nations. This classification system helps ensure compatibility and interoperability of equipment and spare parts across NATO forces.
