practical when it comes to cost savings on gas; whereas driving a diesel-powered truck shows that you do not care about environment with your smoky‚ loud engine and you can usually be found at a gas station fueling up. However‚ are the stereotypes correct? With advancement in clean diesel technology‚ lower costs in overall maintenance and better fuel efficiency as well as a safer‚ stronger engine‚ there is a clear advantage within diesel engines. First‚ let’s look at cost using a GMC Sierra 2500HD. Buying

of the Common Rail Diesel Engine To be honest‚ I don’t really know too much about the history or the functions and operations of a diesel engine‚ but I am excited about learning more about it through this assignment and when we go to study it in detail during class. History The evolution of Diesel injections actually began from the invention of the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine wasn’t very efficient‚ even worse than the steam engine. Only around 10% of

Diesel engines and unleaded fuel engines better known as gasoline engines are actually very similar. They are both internal combustion engines which is to convert the chemical energy in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft‚ and the up-and-down motion of the pistons‚ known as linear motion‚ creates a force to the flywheel the from the flywheel to the transmission. The working principle of diesel engines

the engine works. I have grown up around engines my whole life. My dad never took any of his vehicles to a shop‚ unless it was something major‚ which is why I’m so interested in them. I have had the great opportunity to learn about the components of an engine‚ and just how interesting it is. Engines are interesting‚ because of their history‚ different parts of the engine‚ and the different types of a single motor. I found that the history of the engine was entertaining to research. The engine was

2013 The Diesel Engine: Making a Comeback The diesel engine has provided the world with cheap and efficient power for over one hundred years. The invention was first thought up by Rudolph Diesel in 1892. He wanted to create an engine that would be more efficient than the steam engine‚ which was only 12% efficient. He filed for a patent in Germany in February of 1892. He was granted a patent for a “Working Method and Design for Combustion Engines...new efficient‚ thermal engine” (History)

Fuel injection in diesel engines [edit] Mechanical and electronic injection Older engines make use of a mechanical fuel pump and valve assembly which is driven by the engine crankshaft‚ usually via the timing belt or chain. These engines use simple injectors which are basically very precise spring-loaded valves which will open and close at a specific fuel pressure. The pump assembly consists of a pump which pressurizes the fuel‚ and a disc-shaped valve which rotates at half crankshaft speed

Diesel engines are commonly found in commercial vehicles‚ but these engines are also frequently used in passenger cars. Individuals that have recently purchased their first diesel engine vehicle may not be sure of the steps for properly caring for this type of automobile. Fortunately‚ you can use these tips to help make sure that your car’s diesel engine avoids some potentially serious malfunctions.

Parts of the marine diesel engine Below is a cross-sectional view of a Sulzer Main Diesel Engine and the names of the component parts. The starting air valve is used to lead highly compressed air to push the piston for turning the engine when starting. In this 2-stroke engine‚ the air intake and exhaust are taken into the engine cylinder liner through scavenging ports and exhaust ports. The cylinder head covers the top of the cylinder and houses the starting air valve‚ fuel valve or injector
