Conditions to Operate Diesel Engine
Click on the underlined sentence.
Compression and the fuel system are the most important factors for the efficient operation of the diesel engine.
The preheating system heats the compression air necessary for cold engine starting.
1. Compression
2. Fuel system
The diesel engine does not have a throttle valve for controlling engine output like the gasoline engine. The output of the gasoline engine is controlled by opening and closing the throttle valve, thereby controlling the amount of air-fuel mixture taken in.
However, the diesel engine controls engine output by adjusting the fuel injection volume.
Furthermore, as combustion starts with fuel injection, it also adjusts fuel injection timing. This corresponds to the ignition timing of the gasoline engine.
HINT:
For various purposes, some engines are equipped with an intake shutter for decreasing noise, engine stopping, or decreasing engine vibrations while engine stopped.
