Special features of diesel engine
|
1) Engine has high compression ratio ranging from 14:1 to 22:1.
2) During compression stroke, the engine attains high pressure ranging from 30 to 45 kg/cm2 and high temperature of about 500°C.
3) At the end of the compression stroke, fuel is injected into the cylinder through injectors (atomizers) at a very high pressure ranging from 120 to 200 kg/cm2.
4) Ignition takes place due to heat of compression.
5) Diesel engine has better slogging or lugging ability i.e. it maintains higher torque for a longer duration of time at a lower speed. /li>
