What are the Principles and Structure of a Diesel Engine?

1. Working Principle of Diesel Engine: Most commonly used are four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and eight-cylinder engines. The working principle of a diesel engine is to compress the gas itself, rely on combustion to generate power, and drive the flywheel to rotate, storing energy for the next cycle of work. It produces a significant amount of exhaust pollution, which is why cars have switched to gasoline or even new energy sources to replace diesel. 2. Structure of Diesel Engine: The structure of a diesel engine can be divided into: the engine block, two major mechanisms, and four major systems. The engine block forms the framework of the diesel engine and consists of the cylinder block and the crankcase. The two major mechanisms are the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism and the valve train mechanism. The four major systems of a diesel engine are the fuel supply system, lubrication system, cooling system, and starting system. A diesel engine is a type of compression-ignition internal combustion engine.
