How to Calculate Horsepower for Diesel Engines?

[SanEliza]

1 horsepower equals 0.735 kW. To calculate horsepower, you can directly divide the power by 0.735. Power is an important performance parameter of an engine. The greater the power, the stronger the acceleration performance of the vehicle, but the higher the fuel consumption. Here is some related information: 1. Origin of Diesel Engines: A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel fuel to release energy. It was invented by the German inventor Rudolf Diesel in 1892. To commemorate this inventor, diesel is represented by his surname "Diesel," and the diesel engine is also called a Diesel engine. 2. Principle of Diesel Engines: When the piston approaches the top dead center, the fuel injector of the fuel supply system injects fuel into the cylinder combustion chamber at extremely high pressure within a very short time. The diesel forms fine oil particles, mixes with high-pressure and high-temperature air, and the combustible mixture ignites spontaneously, expanding violently to produce explosive force, pushing the piston downward to perform work. At this point, the temperature can reach 1900-2000°C, and the pressure can reach 60-100 atmospheres. The torque generated is very large, so diesel engines are widely used in large diesel equipment.
