How much does a 12-horsepower diesel engine weigh?
1 Answers
12-horsepower diesel engine weighs around 140 kilograms. Here is some extended information: 1. Diesel engine: A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel fuel to obtain energy release. It was invented in 1892 by German inventor Rudolf Diesel. To commemorate this inventor, diesel fuel is named after his surname, and the diesel engine is also called a Diesel engine. 2. Characteristics: Diesel engines have better thermal efficiency and economy. Diesel engines use compressed air to increase air temperature, making it exceed the auto-ignition point of diesel fuel. Then, diesel is injected, and the diesel spray mixes with air while igniting spontaneously. Diesel engines do not require an ignition system. Additionally, the fuel supply system of diesel engines is relatively simple, and diesel engines are more reliable than gasoline engines. Due to the absence of detonation limitations and the need for diesel auto-ignition, diesel engines have a high compression ratio. Both thermal efficiency and economy are better than gasoline engines. Moreover, at the same power output, diesel engines provide higher torque and lower maximum power RPM, making them suitable for use in trucks.
