Diesel engines are different from gas engines in numerous ways, including their use of high compression ratios. Here's why ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

A running engine produces heat, which expands its metal body, thereby increasing its compression ratio. This is true for ...

In a conventional piston engine, the compression ratio defines the relationship between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder - when its piston is at bottom dead centre and top dead centre ...

Ever since the first internal combustion engine hit top dead centre, engineers have been locked in an inexorable battle with compression ratios. Too low a compression ratio and the engine's efficiency ...

WinGD Ltd. promotes Variable Compression Ratio as near-term retrofit for LNG fleets. Find the latest news from the maritime industry on the PortNews website.

Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...
