Diesel Engine Management
- Share to:
engine in which the fuel and air are mixed inside the engine. The air required for combustion
is highly compressed inside the combustion chamber. This generates high temperatures
which are sufficient for the diesel fuel to spontaneously ignite when it is injected
into the cylinder. The diesel engine thus uses heat to release the chemical energy contained
within the diesel fuel and convert it into mechanical force.
The diesel engine is the internal-combustion engine that offers the greatest overall efficiency
(more than 50% in the case of large, slow-running types). The associated low fuel
consumption, its low-emission exhaust and quieter running characteristics assisted, for
example, by pre-injection have combined to give the diesel engine its present significance.
Diesel engines are particularly suited to aspiration by means of a turbocharger or supercharger.
This not only improves the engine’s power yield and efficiency, it also reduces pollutant
emissions and combustion noise
