The modern and improved design of the diesel engine allows significant savings in fuel costs, and also has a number of advantages that allow the machine to work at a new level. Over the past decade, many automakers have begun to actively develop their models based on precisely diesel “engines”, which are characterized by high torque, efficiency and durability. Therefore, initially diesel engines belonged specifically to SUVs - crossovers and minivans.
Gradually, the popularity of new engines grew. Today they have become the property of a large number of new car models. The device of the diesel engine is being improved and, in fact, has reached the level of a gasoline engine. In a word, the new type of engines, although they operate on diesel fuel, but they operate almost silently, have a very high power indicator, while remaining economical and reliable. A diesel engine mounted in a car even with the highest fuel consumption rate can save a lot without losing anything in the technical performance of the car.
The external device of the diesel engine is impressive in size. These products weigh quite a lot. This is due to the fact that the compression ratio in this "engine" is much higher than in gasoline. For the same reason, the valves that enter the system have a reinforced structure. Based on this, it is important to consider that, when tuning a diesel engine, it is always worth taking into account the weight and dimensions of the machine itself. Naturally, such a unit will not take root in a compact model. This also applies to sports cars, which usually have a low landing.
The device of a diesel engine also regulates the features of its operation. The operation scheme is approximately as follows.
The cylinders that are located inside the motor receive purified air. There it is under high pressure, which the valves create, heats up as much as possible, reaching a temperature of 800 degrees. Diesel fuel itself enters this hot space, which instantly ignites and activates the machine. Perhaps such processes cause more noise than the work of the gasoline engine, which is usual for all. However, during the operation of the engine on a diesel engine, much less harmful substances are emitted into the atmosphere than from a gasoline analogue. It is also important that this fuel is cheap and affordable.
It is worth noting that previously diesel engines were extremely difficult to activate when the weather was frosty (such fuel is very sensitive to external factors). The thought-out design of a new diesel engine allows to solve a similar problem. Only in very rare cases the motor starts to fail in the winter.
In order for the diesel engine to work flawlessly, it is necessary to carry out additional work on its insulation and tuning. This will guarantee that no incidents and troubles on the road will happen. Also, such an operation will make the engine more powerful and maneuverable, which is important, given today's traffic.
