Diesel Engines

                                                                                                        

Similar to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that converts chemical energy present in fuel to mechanical energy that moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The diesel engine has been the IC engine of choice for various heavy-duty applications for over five decades. In its earliest days it was popular more because it was a considered as the portion of the petroleum crude oil that had previously been discarded as waste during refining of gasoline. Later however, the diesel’s useful properties – its durability, high torque capacity, and fuel efficiency - assured its role in many applications. While the diesel engine is not the engine of choice in US passenger cars (less than 2% of cars in the US are diesel-engine powered), they have much better acceptance in Europe (over 25% of the total market).
