2. Diesel exhaust fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid

   Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF; also known as AUS 32 and sometimes marketed as AdBlue [3]) is a liquid used to reduce the amount of air pollution created by a diesel engine. Specifically, DEF is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. DEF is consumed in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) that lowers the ...

3. Diesel exhaust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust

   Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type, rate of consumption or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator ...

4. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   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.

5. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

   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).

6. Diesel particulate filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_particulate_filter

   Diesel particulate filter of a school bus A diesel particulate filter (top left) in a Peugeot Off-road – DPF installation. A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter [broken anchor] or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. [1] [2]

7. TDI (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDI_(engine)

   TDI is the combination of two existing diesel engine technologies: Direct injection — where a fuel injector sprays the diesel fuel directly into the main combustion chambers . This causes a more complete combustion process than using a pre-combustion chamber (known as indirect injection ), which therefore increases the torque output and ...

8. Naturally aspirated engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine

   In a naturally aspirated engine, air for combustion (Diesel cycle in a diesel engine or specific types of Otto cycle in petrol engines, namely petrol direct injection) or an air/fuel mixture (traditional Otto cycle petrol engines), is drawn into the engine's cylinders by atmospheric pressure acting against a partial vacuum that occurs as the piston travels downwards toward bottom dead centre ...

9. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

   However, a real diesel engine will be more efficient overall since it will have the ability to operate at higher compression ratios. If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking (self-ignition) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired ...
