What Causes White Smoke from Diesel Engine Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
White smoke from a diesel engine exhaust pipe is caused by out-of-round pistons or cylinder liners, leading to excessive blow-by and oil burning. It is necessary to repair and inspect the roundness of the cylinder liners, piston rings, and the gap between piston ring ends. Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that generate power by burning diesel fuel. They were invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and diesel fuel is named after him (Diesel). Diesel generators are known for their high torque and good fuel efficiency. The working process of a diesel engine is similar to that of a gasoline engine, with each cycle consisting of intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes.
