Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...

The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

If you’re in fleet management or the construction industry, you undoubtedly have machines that run on diesel fuel. In addition to large trucks, more than 75% of all heavy construction equipment uses ...

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (March 28, 2016) -- The ability to study complex interactions inside a diesel engine gives Army scientists a new perspective that may help design more fuel efficient and ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

As part of an overall environmental strategy initiated 2 years ago to reduce its environmental "footprint" worldwide, Noble Corp., Houston, has targeted its diesel-powered drilling rigs for total ...
