Diesel Engine

Type: Keyphrase

Name: Diesel Engine

description: A diesel engine uses heavier weight components than gas engines to handle higher compression ratios. Typically, diesel engines run with greater efficiency and higher torque than similar size gas engines. These attributes lead to better fuel economy and towing performance. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs or carburetors. Instead glow plugs are used to preheat air in the cylinders to ensure easy starts. Once the engine is started, compression heats the fuel in the cylinders for combustion.

Quotes

Once a diesel engine had been converted to run on LNG, he said, the engine could run just as trouble-free as it would on diesel. "It blows out less CO2 and fewer particulates, and the natural gas as a fuel is much cheaper. There are considerable savings to be made if you are transport operator."

...The program was launched in 1976 with the 1973 oil crisis still fresh in mind, as Bauder reports. "What we set outout to achieve was to develop an internal combustion engine with the lowest possible fuel consumption. We checked out all conceivable concepts all the way to a two-stroke diesel engine, and in the process analyzed and improved diverse injection and combustion methods. One of our big breakthroughs was the dual-spring injection-nozzle holder, which allowed the pre-injection of smaller fuel amounts. The result was smoother combustion and improved acoustics – the fundamental requirements for use in passenger cars."
