    Study Notes

    Diesel Engine Operation

    • Diesel engines raise the temperature of diesel fuel above its ignition point through compression.
    • Gasoline engines rely on spark ignition to initiate combustion.
    • The combustion process in a diesel engine is a three-step process:
      • Compression: Air is compressed in the cylinder, increasing its temperature.
      • Fuel Injection: Diesel fuel is injected into the hot, compressed air.
      • Autoignition: The heat of the compressed air ignites the diesel fuel, causing combustion.

    Ignition and Flash Points

    • The ignition point is the minimum temperature at which a substance ignites spontaneously.
    • The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a substance will ignite if an external ignition source is applied.

    Mitsubishi Fuso 4-Cylinder Engine

    • The Mitsubishi Fuso 4-cylinder engine is a four-stroke, in-line, water-cooled diesel engine.
    • It has a compression ratio of 17.5 and a direct injection combustion chamber.
    • The engine lineup includes different models with different power outputs, ranging from 81 kW (110 PS) to 129 kW (175 PS).

    Engine Specifications

    • Maximum Torque: 260 Nm (26.5 kgfm) to 430 Nm (43.8 kgfm)
    • Displacement: 2998 cc (2.998 L)
    • Bore x Stroke: 95.8 mm x 104 mm
    • Valve Mechanism: Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC)

    Engine Power

    • Engine power is the rate at which an engine can do work.
    • It is measured in kilowatts (kW) or horsepower (PS), and is typically indicated at a specific engine speed.

    Engine Torque

    • Engine torque is the twisting force produced by the engine.
    • It is measured in Newton-meters (Nm) or kilogram-force meters (kgfm) and is usually presented at a specific engine speed.

    Engine Layout

    • Diesel engines can have different layouts, including straight (in-line), V-type, and horizontally opposed (Boxer) designs.
    • Straight engines have all cylinders arranged in a single line.
    • V-type engines have cylinders arranged in two banks, forming a “V” shape.
    • Boxer engines have their cylinders horizontally opposed, each cylinder working with a piston on the opposite side of a central crankshaft.
