Despite the independent invention of European fire pistons, it was the Southeast Asian fire pistons that inspired Rudolf Diesel in his creation of the diesel engine at around 1892, not the European versions (which had largely been replaced by matches by the late 19th century). Diesel was a student of the inventor Carl von Linde. He acquired the ...
The flame-start system is a cold start aid for starting diesel engines at low ambient temperatures. It reduces the white smoke emission after the engine is started. In addition, it reduces the strain on the starter motor and batteries by shortening the start-up time. [1]
The ignition source of a diesel engine is the heat generated by the compression of the air in the cylinder, rather than a spark as in gasoline engines. The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder (spark plug electrode ...
The recall involves GoveeLife and Govee brand's electric smart space heaters with the following model numbers: H7130 (including the H7130101 variation), H7131, H7132, H7133, H7134 and H7135.
The company was later renamed to Dongvo (Hangzhou) Truck Co., Ltd. (simplified Chinese: 东沃(杭州)卡车有限公司; traditional Chinese: 東沃(杭州)卡車有限公司; pinyin: Dōngwò (Hángzhōu) Kǎchē Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) in 2013, [3] [non-primary source needed] and in 2017 to Dongfeng Nengdi (Hangzhou) Motor Co., Ltd..

Glowplugs are typically used as starting-aid devices, when the engine is being cranked by a starter motor, and in most cases switched off when the engine has reached a defined minimum operating temperature. Diesel engines, unlike common spark-ignition engines, do not use spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture. Instead, they rely solely on ...
Starting fluid is not recommended for regular use with some two-stroke engines because it does not possess lubricating qualities by itself. Lubrication for two-stroke engines is achieved using oil that is either mixed into the fuel by the user or injected automatically into the fuel supply; engines requiring premixed fuel that are run solely on starting fluid do not receive an adequate supply ...
