On 22 August 2006, after being re-fitted with 750 brake horsepower (560 kW) 'LSR' versions of the JCB444 engines, [2] the JCB Dieselmax car broke the official FIA diesel engine land speed record, attaining a speed of 328.767 mph (529.099 km/h). 24 hours later the JCB Dieselmax car broke its own record, achieving a speed of 350.092 mph (563.418 ...
The Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is a two-stroke turbocharged low-speed diesel engine designed by the Finnish manufacturer Wärtsilä. It is designed for large container ships that run on heavy fuel oil . Its largest 14-cylinder version is 13.5 meters high, 26.59 meters long, weighs over 2,300 tonnes , and produces 80.08 megawatts .
However, there is a manual override switch that allows the engineer to run the engine with all 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) if necessary. As with the C40-9, Norfolk Southern began to upgrade their C40-9W's from 4,000 to 4,400 hp and AC traction in mid-2015, making them AC44C6M's as well.
The Ram 1500 with EcoDiesel was the first half-ton pickup with a diesel engine available in the U.S since Dodge had previously offered a six-cylinder Mitsubishi diesel in its half-ton pickup for 1978, and GM offered diesel engines from 1978 to 1998. [10] Other diesel pickup trucks that have been available for decades are heavier-duty trucks ...
The basic NTE control area for diesel engines has three basic boundaries on the engine's torque and speed map. The first is the upper boundary that is represented by an engine's maximum torque at a given speed.
The engine's 17:1 compression ratio gives it a best brake specific fuel consumption of less than 0.32 lb/(hp⋅h) (195 g/kWh), compared to typical avgas engines with 0.42 lb/(hp⋅h) (255 g/kWh). It is expected that the Graflight V-8 will burn under 11 US gal/h (42 L/h) of fuel at 65% power.
Compared to its predecessor, the F40 1 Series is 5 mm (0.2 in) shorter, 34 mm (1.3 in) wider, and 13 mm (0.5 in) taller. [6] Despite the decreases in length, due to the tighter packaging of the front-wheel drive engine, front legroom has increased by 42 mm (1.7 in), rear legroom has increased by 33 mm (1.3 in), and rear headroom has increased ...
The Detroit Diesel Series 53 is a two-stroke diesel engine series, available in both inline and V configurations, manufactured by Detroit Diesel as a more compact alternative to the older Series 71 for medium and heavy duty trucks. The number 53 refers to the nominal swept displacement per cylinder in cubic inches.
