Diesel vs gas engines: what's the difference?

Image
They burn different types of fuel, but that's just the beginning. Here's what you need to know when comparing diesel... This is the story of diesel versus gas engines : diesel engines burn diesel, petrol engines burn petrol. Different ways of igniting fuel: Apart from the fuel differences, the most significant difference between diesel and gas engines is the way in which each ignites the fuel. A diesel engine compresses the air in the combustion chamber until it is hot enough to ignite the fuel, which is injected into the chamber through an injector. A petrol engine, on the other hand, uses spark plugs to ignite the mixture of fuel and air at the correct time. In engineering circles we describe the ignition methods as compression ignition and spark ignition. Diesel = more durable construction Diesel engines are low revving, high torque engines that typically last longer than petrol engines. Engineers often use larger, heavier and more robust components because diesels are prima

Why buy diesel crate engines?

Not all engines are equally boxed. When key components such as fuel pumps, filters, accessories, starters, and flywheels are not included in the engine kit, you have to piece together these components from different manufacturers to get the best results. When it comes time to replace a tired or faulty engine in a diesel truck , there are many options. Rising costs over the years have prevented many potential consumers from buying a brand new truck. Save money with diesel crate engines instead of replacing your vehicle. FAWDE has a wide range of diesel crate engines to suit all your needs. Whether you use your truck for towing/hauling, competitive motorsport or simply as a daily driver, FAWDE has the right engine for your needs. Diesel crate engines The term Diesel crate engines originally referred to a fully assembled engine transported in a crate. This complete engine was ready to be removed from the crate and installed directly into the vehicle. Over the years the term diesel cra

5 Simple Ways to Take Care of Diesel Fire Pumps

Image
When it comes to your diesel fire pumps , there are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind. As preventative maintenance ensures better operation and longer life, we have decided to create this blog post that covers different ways to maintain your diesel fire pump. Let’s begin! 1.Inspect the Power Source Every fire pump needs power, such as through a fuel engine. Be sure to check it at least once a year. Perform a routine inspection and cycle the power source once or twice a year. Cycling will help you maintain lubrication and ensure that there is enough power available for the fire pump. 2.Be Sure Everything is Moving Freely NY Fire Pumps are meant to last for many years, but they may seize or lock without proper maintenance. This often results in a major fire safety risk. So it’s best to perform fire pump inspections and ensure that every part is moving freely without any hindrance. Use lubricants on all moving parts to keep them from locking in place. 3.Test Controls and Sprinklers O

What are the Differences Between Electric and Diesel Fire Pumps?

Image
  Both electric and   diesel fire pumps  provide fire sprinklers throughout a facility with adequate water supply during a fire. So, what are the differences between electric and diesel fire pumps? Some of the key differences between electric and diesel fire pumps include their applications, maintenance and cost, and lifespan. Fire Pump Applications Diesel fire pumps are ideal for applications when there’s already a separate pump house or the pump room is located on an exterior wall. Some facilities that use diesel fire pumps include warehouses, aircraft hangars, and industrial facilities. Since their footprint is larger than an electric fire pump, they’re not suitable for facilities with minimum space. Unlike diesel, electric fire pumps can be located within the building. Office buildings and condominiums are often equipped with electric fire pumps. Additionally, high rises sometimes install an additional electric fire pump above the ground or basement level to increase water pressure

Knowledge about marine diesel engine

The importance of a reliable marine diesel engine is hard to measure these days. Without these expertly and carefully crafted diesel engines, sport fishing boats around the world simply wouldn't have the tools to do what they do. Only by constantly improving technology to produce high quality marine diesel generators can we continue to meet the needs of consumers, so what do you know about marine diesel engines? This article mainly from the definition of marine diesel generators and the main features of the two aspects, a detailed explanation of marine diesel generators, I hope it will help you. Marine diesel generator definition Marine diesel engine Refers to any reciprocating internal combustion engine running on liquid or dual fuel, with theoretical diesel combustion cycle significantly similar to the operating characteristics of the internal combustion compression ignition ( CI ) engine. Power regulation by controlling the fuel supply instead of the throttle is the hallmark of

A brief introduction to the working principle of marine engines

Image
  There are many kinds of marine engine s, such as marine diesel engines   and marine coal-fired generators, etc. FAW  will briefly introduce the working principle of marine diesel engines for you to have a deeper understanding of this kind of marine engine.    As we all know, the main use of marine diesel engine is to provide power for ships, and its working principle is as follows.    Fresh air is pumped into the pump and compressed by the piston through very high pressure, when the air is well compressed, as the temperature rises allowing it to ignite the atomised fuel in the cylinder. The combustion of the fuel adds heat to the air in the pump, which expands and allows the engine's pistons to do work on the crankshaft, which then drives the ship's propeller through the other shafts.      A marine engine's operating cycle consists of two fuel injections. Some four-stroke diesel engines must be completed by four strokes of the piston, i.e. suction, compression, expansion

Basic Parts of the Car Engine

  Car engines   are designed around sealed, flexible metal cylinders. Most modern vehicles have between 4 and 8 cylinders, but some can have up to 16! The cylinders open and close at the correct time to introduce fuel combined with a spark from internal combustion and to release the exhaust gases produced. Although there are multiple components on the engine, we have compiled a list of the most   important car basic engine parts   and their functions to power your vehicle. Engine block This is the heart of the  vehicle engine . Usually made of aluminum or iron, it has several holes to house the cylinders and provide a flow path for water and oil to cool and lubricate the engine. The oil path is narrower than the water path. The engine block also contains the pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, and 4 to 12 cylinders — in a straight line, also known as inline, flat, or V-shaped, depending on the vehicle. Pistons Pistons are cylindrical devices with a flat surface on top. The function of the p
