A diesel engine is a powerful and efficient internal combustion engine that works using diesel fuel. It is mainly used to produce mechanical power, which is widely used in various vehicles, agricultural machinery, industrial machinery, and generators etc. The working method of a diesel engine is that air is compressed to high pressure and heated in the compression chamber, then diesel fuel is sprayed directly into the compression through the injector. This results in rapid fuel combustion and produces strong power.
The main feature of a diesel engine is that it is low in fuel consumption and capable of producing more torque. It is long-lasting and durable compared to other engines. A diesel engine is generally used to drive heavy transport such as trucks, buses, trains, and ships. In addition, modern diesel engines use environmentally friendly technology to produce less smoke and increase energy efficiency. The contribution of diesel engines to the global industry and transportation sector is immense.
