2. Caterpillar C32 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_C32

   The Caterpillar C32B is a V12 diesel engine made by Caterpillar Inc. The engine displacement is 32.1 liters (1959 cubic inches). It is normally painted in grey. The cylinder size is 5.71 inches x 6.38 inches bore/stroke. The C32B is the most power-dense high-speed diesel engine [note 1] of Caterpillar. The engine can produce up to 2433 marine ...

3. Caterpillar 3126 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_3126

   The Caterpillar 3126 is a turbocharged 7.2L inline 6-cylinder diesel engine manufactured by Caterpillar and first introduced in 1995; it was the first electronic mid-range diesel engine that Caterpillar produced. [1] It is the successor to the Caterpillar 3116 engine and was updated to become the Caterpillar C7 engine in 2003. [1]

4. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   Compared to a gasoline (petrol) engine, a diesel engine has a very high compression ratio, an essential design feature, as it is the heat of compression that ignites the fuel. An electric starter with sufficient power to turn a large diesel engine would itself be so large as to be impractical so there is a need for an alternative system.

5. Straight-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-twin_engine

   A straight-twin engine, also known as an inline-twin, vertical-twin, inline-2, or parallel-twin, is a two-cylinder piston engine whose cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. Straight-twin engines are primarily used in motorcycles; other uses include automobiles, marine vessels, snowmobiles, jet skis , all-terrain vehicles ...

6. Caterpillar C13 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_C13

   The Caterpillar C13 is an inline-6 diesel internal combustion engine made by Caterpillar. The engine is 12.5 liters in displacement (763 cubic inches). The cylinder size is 5.12 × 6.18 bore/stroke. Engine ratings were available from 380–525 horsepower at 2100 RPM. The peak torque occurs at an engine speed of 1200 RPM. [2]

7. 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 the 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).

8. Opposed-piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposed-piston_engine

   A variation of the opposed-piston design is the free-piston engine, which was first patented in 1934. Free piston engines have no crankshaft, and the pistons are returned after each firing stroke by compression and expansion of air in a separate cylinder. Early applications were for use as an air compressor or as a gas generator for a gas turbine.

9. Two-stroke diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_diesel_engine

   All two-stroke diesel engines require artificial aspiration to operate, and will either use a mechanically driven blower or a turbo-compressor to charge the cylinder with air. In the early phase of intake, the air charge is also used to force out any remaining combustion gases from the preceding power stroke, a process referred to as scavenging .
