Diesel injectors have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

A prominent science magazine whose storied archives include articles from Albert Einstein recently wrote about new diesel technology which has been shown to drastically reduce soot. The December ...

When it comes to keeping a diesel engine running smoothly, few components are more critical than the fuel system. Often referred to as the engine’s “heart,” the fuel system is responsible for ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

The emissions system at the heart of the global Volkswagen diesel mess comprises many complex components, all of which have to work perfectly and consistently all the time, or the vehicle will fail to ...

ABSTRACT Non-conventional operating conditions and fuels in diesel engines can produce longer ignition delays compared to conventional diesel combustion. If those extended delays are longer than the ...
