In diesel engines, fuel is injected during the compression stroke before the piston reaches top dead centre (TDC). Only the air is compressed on the compression stroke which causes it to become hot enough to ignite the fuel. In a mechanical system, the fuel charge is accurately metered and pressurised by the fuel injection pump and passed to
Diesel-electric transmissions are a type of Continuously variable transmission. The absence of a gearbox offers several advantages, as it removes the need for gear changes, thus eliminating the unevenness of acceleration caused by the disengagement of a clutch. With sufficient batteries the motors can run for periods of time on electric alone
The radiator is used to cool the diesel engine as it runs, to make sure it doesn't generate an over temperature alarm. If it is air cooled or alternative method of cooling is used, such as a heat exchanger, you wont see a radiator. How does a diesel generators radiator work? As a diesel engine runs, heat is generated during the combustion process. One reason for the use of a traction motor on a diesel locomotive is the ease with which the power can be applied to the wheels. Unlike an internal combustion engine, an electric motor begins making power in the form of torque, as soon as the motor receives electrical power. This allows the motor to begin easily pulling the load at very slowThis is the first class in a series of Diesel Engine courses being offered for free.Did you know you can help the Adept Ape channel just by clicking the AmazThe induction motor turns into a generator when the wheels and drivetrain rotate faster than does the induction motor. That electricity is then sent back to the battery pack for later use. Animation of how an electric vehicle works. Electric vehicles are more efficient than standard gas and diesel-powered engines in many ways. 2WbYwv.
