Working principle and core advantages of diesel engine

Sep 02,2025


Compression ratio (usually 14:1 to 22:1): High temperature (about 500-700 ℃) is generated by compressing air, causing diesel to self ignite without the need for an ignition system.

Duty cycle
The diesel engine adopts a four stroke cycle (intake compression work exhaust):
Compression ratio (usually 14:1 to 22:1): High temperature (about 500-700 ℃) is generated by compressing air, causing diesel to self ignite without the need for an ignition system.
Direct fuel injection: At the end of the compression stroke, diesel is directly injected into the cylinder through a high-pressure injector and mixed with high-temperature air for combustion.
High thermal efficiency: The theoretical thermal efficiency can reach 40% -50% (about 30% -40% for gasoline engines), and the fuel economy is significantly better than that of gasoline engines.
Core strengths
Good economy: Diesel prices are usually lower than gasoline, with lower fuel consumption and lower long-term usage costs.
High torque: High torque can be output at low speeds, suitable for heavy loads, climbing and other scenarios.
Strong durability: simple structure, low component wear rate, long maintenance cycle.
Wide fuel adaptability: can use biodiesel, blended fuels, etc., reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

Intake stroke: The piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center, the intake valve opens, and the exhaust valve closes. Negative pressure is formed inside the cylinder, and the mixture of air and gasoline is sucked into the cylinder.
