Not exact matches
DIESEL ENGINES - They are
higher compression than gasoline engines and do not require spark plugs or distributors.
Highly turbocharged alcohol - fueled direct - injection spark - ignition (DISI) engines operated at a
high compression ratio could be as or more efficient than
diesel engines while also providing advantages of lower vehicle cost, lower emissions and
higher power, according to a recent modeling study by Leslie Bromberg and Daniel Cohn at MIT.
I was thinking more on the lines of gas engines, but you're right about the need for
higher compression ranges for
diesel engines.
It can then be put in
diesel engines and will ignite properly because
diesel engines have
high compression ratios, so why can't this be done?
Such
high -
compression diesels tend to jolt the car a bit when you shut them down.
SkyActiv technology uses techniques such as direct injection,
high compression ratios for petrol models (and low
compression ratios in
diesels), variable valve timing and special exhaust manifolds to improve efficiency and power.
The
higher compression ratio in
diesels means they are harder to start, but once they are running the energy expended in compressing air is regained during the expansion stroke when the compressed air is allowed to «spring» back, so the
higher compression ratio causes negligible engine braking via energy being lost as friction and heat of compressed air to engine block.
As
diesel engine speeds and loads increase, the
higher cylinder temperatures after
compression of the intake charge result in increased injection and ignition efficiency due to increased fuel atomization.
Indeed,
higher compression ratios and other aspects of the working
diesel mean that the engines must be built to a more heavy - duty standard.
While the redesign may not be a complete shock, the 2.2 - liter
diesel and other SKYACTIV technologies fitted on the 2013 Mazda6 — lowered engine
compression, i - Stop,
high - tech transmission, and more rigid, yet lighter, body — should help keep future owners away from the gas pumps a little more often.
While the compact combustion chamber and
higher compression ratio on gasoline engine helps to improve engine efficiency, the advanced thermal management system in
diesel engine along with low friction engine oil and modified fuel injection system help
diesel engine in faster warm up and lower frictional losses.
As far as
higher mileage,
high -
compression engines develop more power than low CR ones, which will help with mileage, but part of the reason
diesels get
higher mileage is b / c
diesel fuel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline — so there won't be any mileage boost from this aspect.
Additional engine features: Iron cylinder block and aluminum DOHC cylinder head Forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods Oiling circuit that includes a dedicated feed for the turbocharger to provide increased pressure at the turbo and faster oil delivery Piston - cooling oil jets 16.5:1
compression ratio Common rail direct injection fuel system Ceramic glow plugs for shorter heat - up times and
higher glow temperatures Balance shaft that contributes to smoothness and drives the oil pump Laminated steel oil pan with upper aluminum section that contributes to engine rigidity and quietness B20 bio-
diesel capability The Duramax 2.8 L is the cleanest
diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors, and meets some of the toughest U.S. emissions standards, thanks in part to a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
The turbo -
diesel's
compression ratio is nearly as low (14.0:1) as the petrol engine's is
high.
Diesels need
high compression of about 18:1 to operate efficiently, right?
The SKYACTIV - X combines the benefits of a spark - ignition gasoline engine — expansiveness at
high rpms and cleaner exhaust emissions — with those of a
compression - ignition
diesel engine — superior initial response and fuel economy.
The research vehicle features a homogenous charge
compression ignition engine, a technology that produces the
high fuel economy of a
diesel engine from a clean - burning gasoline engine.
And because of the natural canceling effect of the cylinders being horizontally opposed, Subaru tells us there is no need for a balance shaft to dampen the noise and vibration typically associated with
high -
compression diesel engines.
But, the atmospheric pressure is sort of
high — e.g., a day on Venus is more like spending time atop a piston in a
diesel engine at the top of the
compression cycle where the fuel mixture explodes!
Highly turbocharged alcohol - fueled direct - injection spark - ignition (DISI) engines operated at a
high compression ratio could be as or more efficient than
diesel engines while also providing advantages of lower vehicle cost, lower emissions and
higher power, according to a recent modeling study by Leslie Bromberg and Daniel Cohn at MIT.
