Diesel Engine Operation and Comparison
Diesel Engine Operation and Comparison
The fuel used is still much cheaper than that for gasoline engines.
The usurpation of leadership and the performance of diesel engines make them used by
car manufacturers and the equipment of convertibles.
2. Generalities.
2.1. The principle of the Diesel engine.
Different from the gasoline engine where ignition is controlled, the Diesel engine operates
due to the spontaneous ignition of the fuel while it is injected into the combustion chamber. For
this, several conditions are necessary:
The air temperature at the time of injection must be approximately 600° C (400°)
C minimum). This temperature is reached by compressing the admitted air in
motor.
Diesel is injected under high pressure (from 130 to more than 1000 bars) for

For high-speed diesel engines, a cycle is used that allows burning in two strokes: a part
one is done at constant volume, the other is done at constant pressure (the Sabathé cycle).

2.2.1. Temperature at the end of compression.
The compression of the admitted air must allow for the necessary temperature to be achieved at the end of the compression.
There is data on the start of fuel injection.
•The pressure at the end of compression. It must be at least 20 bar with a difference
a maximum of 4 bars between the cylinders. The volumetric ratios used are approximately
15/1 for direct injection engines and 22/1 for indirect injection engines.
The heat exchange surface between the combustion chamber and the exterior (engines with
direct injection has a lower volumetric ratio.
The fuel enters the chamber, being sprayed through the injector. Each particle of diesel
comes into contact with superheated air.
Each gas fuel molecule begins to mix with the air, the combustion phases being
the following:
• The oxidation of diesel and the formation of peroxides. The fine particles of fuel that
it oxidizes upon injection by contact with the oxygen in the air
compressed to form peroxides.
Cracking. The heat released causes a cracking of the droplets remaining in their initial state.
The carbon content of fuel molecules is greatly reduced by this.

Injection delay: the times that elapse between the start of the injection at the pump and the start

•Delay of combustion: the times required for igniting diesel (variable times).
It is necessary to compensate for these delays by starting the injection at the pump before the Point.
Higher mortality than the engine.
Synopsis of progress.
The advance evolution must primarily take into account the engine speed, as for a
the same delay, the angle made by the crankshaft varies depending on the regime.
Motor load: The corrections are necessary depending on the pumping principle.
In radial piston rotary pumps, there is a
natural variation of advancement depending on the load that
it must be considered to avoid smoke emissions and
of the engine noises. That is, the beginning of the injection is
variable because the pulleys attack the cam ring depending on
the amount of diesel (load) that enters between the
two diving pistons.
Water temperature: In the case of cold operation, the combustion delay is longer.
important, as it is necessary to compensate through a correction of
the advance.
Air temperature: The air temperature has a direct influence on
the temperature at the end of compression and thus the delay

Atmospheric pressure: If the intake pressure drops, the pressure at the end
compression decreases. Temperature at the end of compression
the smaller the divine and the delay of the burning increases.

The operation of the injection system requires continuous supply of low-pressure fuel and
for air, the high pressure pumping element.
The diesel is drawn from the tank through a low-pressure pump (the diesel from the pipe)

the low pressure pump has difficulty sucking) then filtered, then used by the high pressure pump
Pressure. The return to the tank is made once the regulation of the low pressure has been carried out and
the injectors have been fueled.
3.2. The component elements.
3.2.1. The reservoir.
Just like the gasoline tank, the diesel tank uses several valves.
•The depression safety valve installed in the tank through which the creation is avoided

Ventilation of the tank.

The diesel intake area in the tank is usually closed to avoid emissions (cap

For negative temperatures, the quality variables of the fuel and additives, paraffin
The content in the diesel crystallizes and clogs the filter.
The heating has a preventive role, warming the diesel that circulates throughout the circuit and
prevent the paraffin from crystallizing in the pipes that run under the vehicle.

3.4. Control of the low pressure circuit of a rotary pump.
The control of a circuit is achieved by measuring the pressure upstream and downstream of the filter. The values
obtained provide an overview of the loss of the circuit allowing for diagnosis.
To be relevant, the controls must be carried out while the flow in the circuit is at its maximum.
For this purpose, it is necessary to measure the pressure when the engine is at maximum rpm (attention to
precautions.
The pressure upstream and downstream is significantly lower than atmospheric pressure.
The beginning of the injection must be triggered at a specific moment for each cylinder.
Similarly, the injection duration must be very precise to optimize the energy supplied through
every drop of diesel.
The high-pressure pump sends diesel under high pressure to each injector.

The position of the injection end ring depends on the balance of the adjustment lever. The position

engine speed) and on the other hand through the load lever via the springs of

Electronic management of dosing.
Dosage management can also be done electronically, this time taking into account a lot
multiple parameters. The command for the injection end ring position is executed through
the medium of an electromagnet controlled by an R.C.O. type signal. The computer is informed in
the permanence of the position of the injection end ring.

The flow is controlled by the position of the dosing valve, which can be likened to a tap. This control consists of a
balance given by the centrifugal force of a speed regulator (speed information) and the force of the lever spring of the load.
balance that determines the position of the dosing valve.
During cold operation of the engine, the temperature in the combustion chamber does not reach
always the necessary value of the self-ignition of the fuel mixture, and therefore the burning period
It is possible for the ignition to occur after the engine's T.D.C.
To compensate for this effect, the increase of the advance at injection is called superheating.
The mechanical correction consists of operating a drawer or a part connected to it. The command can be
mechanical or electrical, and the necessary information is the engine temperature. This type of correction has the drawback
It acts during the engine starting phase, when too much advance can prevent it from starting.
For certain applications, it is necessary to disable this system before the initial calibration control.
The hydraulic correction (a system called KSB) consists of increasing the injection advance by increasing
transfer pressures during cold operation. Information about the liquid temperature of
the engine cooling is determined through a thermostatic probe located in the circuit
by water or of a thermal contact, when the command is electric:

For certain applications, the control element is closed (not working) when the engine is not started.
Upon reaching the normal operating temperature, the shutdown of this device is commanded.
element, and the advance for injection reaches the reference value. This correction system of
the advance during the engine's cold operating period can be controlled as follows:
The principle of the radial pump has the disadvantage of having a variable advance depending on
load (the higher the suction flow rate, the earlier the chamber attacks the buckets). For
In certain operating regimes of the engine, it is necessary to adjust the timing to eliminate
this natural disadvantage. The advancement increase for the engine's small tasks is achieved
in the increasing, progressive or not, transfer pressure. The load information allows control
reduction of transfer pressure at high engine loads, the information being taken from the lever
of the injection molding load. This system is called AFC (advance for small loads) or
ACP (advance for progressive pregnancy). When the advance is managed electronically this
the correction is mapped.
Axial pumping element
In order to have a smoother and quieter engine, it is necessary to reduce the injection advance for light loads.
The pressure during combustion decreases when the fuel flow is reduced. The maximum pressure in the combustion chamber is
advanced in relation to the engine's P.M.S.
For BOSCH rotary pumps, the system consists of reducing the transfer pressure (and thus the advance) when it
it returns to idle, and it is called the L.F.B. reflux initiator. It uses the position of the throttle regulator sleeve in this
operating phase to reduce transfer pressure.
Electronic management of the advance
This type of management allows for the optimization of the injection start adjustment. Whatever the type may be.
Pompe operate at the level of the transfer pressure applied to the advance drawer.
Depending on
Based on the operating parameters of the engine, the computer controls the advance actuator according to a stored map. It
It imposes that the commanded advance be the real one thanks to a position translator of the injector needle. The system works in
closed loop and thus a correction is allowed if this is necessary. If it no longer receives information from
the injector needle position sensor, the computer will operate in open loop.

The increase in flow during the startup phase is achieved due to the increase in the stroke of the plunging pistons. This variation of
this course is obtained by the axial displacement of the bucket supports. The overload is canceled when the transfer pressure
this is transmitted to the overload drawer.
The BOSCH pumps overload is achieved with a blade-type spring integrated into the load lever, which allows
the displacement of the injection end sleeve towards high flows when the regulator is not actuated.

The DIESEL engine operates with excess air. Regardless of the engine load, a variation in the engine speed cannot

the engine speed over the entire operating range (in the case of static engines) or only for certain regimes (in the case of
automobile engines.
Minimum/Maximum Regulation Principle
In the case of cars, it is necessary to adjust the idle regime, a regime that can be
modified due to the variation in motor load (for example electrical consumers) in
the time of this operating period. It is also necessary to avoid
motor overheating when the load is very low (the case of the test of
opacity.
The operating principle of the mechanical minimum/maximum regulator
The engine speed information is obtained through the centrifugal governor. The governor's effort on
the lever is counteracted by the force of the springs pressed in turn by the load lever. In the case of a minimum adjustment-
maxim has three phases:
idle adjustment
intermediary phase
In turbocharged engines, it is necessary to adjust the injected flow according to the mass of
air aspirated by the engine, a mass that mainly depends on the intake pressure.
The principle consists of transmitting the pressure behind the overload drawer in proportion to the increase in pressure of

Electronic correction
When flow management is done electronically, the air mass is measured directly through a
volumetric or mass flow meter. In all operating cases, the calculator knows or calculates the mass of air
it aspires and can therefore adjust the injected fuel dose according to the engine's needs.
The purpose of pre-post heating is to increase the temperature of the air admitted into the engine to reduce combustion delay.

the injected debit.
The initial calibration consists of adjusting the injection start relative to the top dead center of the engine.
The initial calibration must be carried out after the disassembly or dismantling of the pump as well as after any other
intervention on the distribution regardless of the type of pump (fully mechanical or electronically controlled).
BOSCH pump calibration
This calibration consists of measuring the displacement of the pump's piston from its bottom dead center.
since the engine's P.M.S. was reached:
The lower dead center of the pump piston is sought by rotating the engine in its direction of rotation.
Rotate the motor until the device MOT. 1054 positions the motor at T.D.C.
If the value is not correct, it must be adjusted. Two cases are possible:
a) The pump body has oval gripping holes. The pump adjustment is done by modifying
the position of the pump body, thus the platform for buckets, in relation to the motor.
b) If the pump is not fixed using oval holes, the pump adjustment is made by
pulley, this being a pulley with micrometric adjustment RAM
LUCAS pumps have a variable injection start depending on the flow rate. Each pump has
the own adjustment value that can be taken from a plastic clip that is fixed on the lever
of the load at Pompeii. The check of the calage is done as follows:
