 Diesel Engine
• Diesel engine was developed by Rudolf
Diesel in 1897.

• A diesel engine (also known as

a compression-ignition engine) is an internal
combustion engine that uses the heat of
compression to initiate ignition to burn
the fuel, which is injected into the combustion
chamber.

• This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines

such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas
engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to RUDOLF DIESEL
gasoline), which uses a spark plug to ignite an
air-fuel mixture.
 Diesel Engine

The only difference between diesel

engine and a four-stroke
gasoline engine is:

•No sparkplug on Diesel engine.

•Has a higher compression ratio.

(14:1 to 25:1)

•Better fuel mileage.

Engine
 Intake Stroke

• Compression Stroke

• Power Stroke

• Exhaust Stroke
 Diesel Engine
Intake Stroke:

•Piston moves from TDC to BDC

creating vacuum in the cylinder

•Intake valve opens allowing only

air to enter the cylinder and
exhaust valve remains closed
 Diesel Engine
Compression Stroke

•Both valves stay closed

•Piston moves from BDC to TDC,

compressing air to 22:1

•Compressing the air to this extent

increases the temperature inside the
cylinder to above 1000 degree F.
 Diesel Engine
Power Stroke

•Both valves stay closed

•When the piston is at the end of

compression stroke(TDC) the injector
sprays a mist of diesel fuel into the
cylinder.

•When hot air mixes with diesel fuel

an explosion takes place in the cylinder.

•Expanding gases push the piston

from TDC to BDC
 Diesel Engine
Exhaust Stroke

•Piston moves from BDC to

TDC

•Exhaust valve opens and the

exhaust gases escape

•Intake valve remains closed

Advantages of Diesel Engine
•The main advantage of diesel engine is the
inexpensive fuel.

•It works on higher temperature than petrol engine.

•The fuel efficiency of diesel engines is 36% and

higher.

•Thediesel engine as compared to the petrol-powered

engine of the equal volume of combustion chamber
has advantage of higher torque.
Disadvantage of Diesel Engine

•The basic disadvantage of diesel engine is that

it is expensive.
•It expensive both in manufacturing and also in

maintenance.
•The fuel in diesel engine is ignited by the heat of

the compressed air.

•The fuel in diesel engine is ignited by the heat of

the compressed air.
