DIESEL ENGINE<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
Diesel engines are similar to spark<br />
ignition engines in construction. Both have<br />
pistons, with piston rings, moving up and<br />
down in cylinders. Both burn fuel in<br />
combustion chambers in the upper part of<br />
the cylinders. The high pressure produced<br />
by the burning fuel pushes the pistons<br />
down. This rotates the crankshaft and the<br />
rotary motion is carried through shafts and<br />
gears to the drive wheels.
