Diesel Power was first published in the Spring of 2005 as a spin-off of Sport Truck.It was originally intended to be printed four times per year, but it quickly grew into a monthly magazine and went from 130 pages per issue in 2005 to 250 pages in 2006.
Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to a power grid or as an emergency power supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support, and export to the power grid. [2] Diesel generator size is crucial to minimize low load or power shortages.
Continuing the Ford/PSA diesel engine joint-venture [citation needed], these straight-four engines are sold under the Duratorq TDCi name by Ford, and as the HDi by Citroën and Peugeot. A development of the existing DW10/DW12 engine [ citation needed ] , the new engines have a traditional belt-driven system, moving away from the chain-driven ...
Diesel engines are used in aircraft, automobiles, power generation, diesel–electric locomotives, and both surface ships and submarines. The Diesel cycle is assumed to have constant pressure during the initial part of the combustion phase (to in the diagram, below). This is an idealized mathematical model: real physical diesels do have an ...
1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of diesel fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).
By 1939, several two-stroke diesel types were in widespread use, and others were being developed for high-power applications,. [ 11 ] Of several two-stroke aircraft diesel engine concepts, the Junkers Jumo 205 was the only type to be made in significant quantities, with approximately 900 units in all. [ 12 ]
Diesel fuel has many colloquial names; most commonly, it is simply referred to as diesel.In the United Kingdom, diesel fuel for road use is commonly called diesel or sometimes white diesel if required to differentiate it from a reduced-tax agricultural-only product containing an identifying coloured dye known as red diesel.
