4843 engines john daniel

describe the operating principles of diesel engines




The Direct Injection Engine
The engine uses the heat caused by compressing air in a cylinder, with a piston, to ignite fuel oil which is injected into the cylinder. This oil burns and creates an increase in pressure which forces the piston back down the cylinder, providing the power. The burnt gasses are exhausted from the cylinder and replaced by fresh charge through valves, commonly positioned above the piston in the cylinder head.
The fuel oil is pushed into the engine under high pressure at the correct time by an injector pump. The oil is sprayed into the engine cylinder as a very fine mist from the nozzle of an injector. The fine fuel oil mist readily mixes with hot air in the cylinder, ignites and provides an efficient burn. The injector pump also meters the amount of fuel delivered. The more fuel the more power the engine.

 Operating cycle of the common four stroke engine .the engine provides one combustion event during the four piston strokes





Its a DI cylinder.
