The article provides information on the distinct advantages of using gasoline and diesel engines in the U.S. The author stated that gasoline is a better choice for those who are looking for quick acceleration, since acceleration is a function of engine horsepower. Meanwhile, Dennis O'Connor of ...
" Jansen of Donlen advised. "The torque advantage of diesel engines is better suited for pulling heavy loads up steep grades. The relatively high-compression ratio necessary to ignite the diesel fuel (17:1 diesel versus 9:1 gasoline), allows the diesel engine to generate all its torque...
The article reports on the study of California Air Resources Board (CARB) that shows that compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) are sometimes worst than diesel on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It says that the farther CNG or LNG have to travel to reach refueling si...
However, four-stroke gas engines have in the past years made great progress toward higher efficiencies on-par with Diesel engines, reaching about 50% for large engines under ideal conditions. Highest efficiencies can be attained when the combustion duration relative to the full cycle duration is ...
The other low-carbon fuel solutions on the horizon paint an equally dubious picture. Some of them, such as biodiesel, are considered a mere stop-gap until engines move away from petroleum-based diesel trucks. Diesel hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) haven’t lived up to their promises of large...
Cerma engine treatment restores lost power to your gas and diesel engines motor while giving you protection unmatched by any other oil lubrication
The Fischer–Tropsch (FT) process produces middle distillates containing no sulfur and virtually no aromatics; the process also produces naphtha and wax. Using FT diesel in CI engines helps reduce NOxand PM emissions. The FT reaction process was used by Germany during World War II to produce di...
This paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) approach for monitoring the health of diesel engines. The aim is to evaluate the engine dynamics, identify unknown parameters in a “mean value” model, and anticipate maintenance requirements. The PINN model is applied to diesel engines...
Fuel-injection pressures are in the gasoline-engine range, or only a fifth of what’s required in a diesel, yielding major savings in cost, lower parasitic losses, and quieter operation versus diesels. The supercharger delivers intake air at low speeds and loads when there’s i...
A gas system for diesel engines was also presented by LPGTECH. It was installed in a MAN TGA, whereas AC presented their STAG Diesel system in a Toyota Hilux.. … You're only halfway through -read on to find out more! Left: 50% Bad Could be better (...
