Learn the Good Things About Diesel Engine

There are many benefits that a diesel engine can bring to users and the machine. Comparing to the gas engine, diesel engine  is more preferred by users. Why diesel engine is so popular? Read this post and you will know. Diesel cars justifiably have a great reputation for excellent fuel economy and low impact on the environment.  This essentially is a result of the diesel operating cycle being thermodynamically more efficient than the petrol engine.  Put more simply, more energy is converted into useful work and less energy in the form of heat which is transmitted to the cooling system and subsequently to the atmosphere.  This means that a diesel engine in a similar sized vehicle is much more fuel efficient in terms of kilometres per litre than a petrol engine. This characteristic of higher thermodynamic efficiency with less heat going into the cooling system means that a diesel engine takes longer to reach the most efficient operating temperature and requires a

How to Correctly Start Diesel Engine

When you turn the ignition key to the on position, the light will illuminate for a few seconds and then go out. You can then safely start your car by turning the key to the start position. Diesel engines work a little differently from petrol (gas) engines. In a regular gas engine, the fuel and air are mixed in the cylinder, the piston compresses the mixture and at just the right time, a spark of electricity ignites the mixture. Diesel engines don ’ t have sparks. There are no spark plugs. Instead, the diesel engine uses high compression to ignite the fuel. The compression on its own causes enough heat to ignite it diesel and air mixture in the cylinder. However, the heat of the engine is also a factor in the fuel ignition. If the engine is hot, then the fuel will ignite at a lower compression compared to cold. If the fuel ignites too early, it would cause the engine to knock and this can damage the engine. So the engine is setup to run when hot. This creates an i

How to Properly Install Diesel Engine

Installing diesel engine is an important part for engine operation. No matter what will you use the engine for, the first thing is to install it on the machine you want to use. Installation of diesel engine is not an easy thing that everyone can do. How to install engine properly is a point for many users to learn. Moreover, properly installing engine is crucial because any mistaken installation step could lead to engine damage and personal hurt. One of the largest challenges of the engine re - manufacturing business is often associated with improper engine installation. We all know that everyone reads all of the literature that comes with each remain  engine – right? Even after reading all of the paperwork technicians still seem to find creative ways to damage the engines performance and longevity. Enough humor – this article will discuss basic diesel engine installation  and how you can prevent premature engine failures. Imagine the most beautiful remanufactured diesel

New Diesel Engine Technology And Introduction

Engine building can be dangerous regardless of what style engine you're dealing with, but even more can go wrong while building performance engines. This video shows just how disastrous those problems can be.  This video was uploaded by Bruce Wilson, whose YouTube channel is filled with insightful analysis of all things engine-related. Wilson walks through why a triple turbo Cummins diesel would randomly explode while dyno testing. The engine was produced by D&J Precision Machine and Firepunk Diesel; both garages are based out of Ohio. "These guys test everything to the absolute limits," Wilson said in the video. "They have broke [sic] records, they have done absolutely amazing things." The video went viral on Reddit, and thanks to that thread, we know that the engine was pushing out 145 psi and more than 2,000 horsepower. And then it exploded. "They just, if they haven't done it, then no one has. They pushed this thing to t
