Diesel Engine
Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses light oil fuel for its
work. This type of engine looks like a gasoline one, but the principle of its work is
slightly different. First of all the air is introduced into combustion chamber, where it is
heated with the help of high pressure. When the air is hot, fuel is introduced into this
chamber and it burns. While the fuel is burning the engine fulfils its operation. The
most obvious advantage of this engine over other types of internal combustion
engines is its economic consumption of fuel, what makes its more preferable for
prudent drivers. Nevertheless, because of its little consumption of fuel, the engine is
less powerful than, for example, a gasoline engine. On the other hand, automobiles
equipped with diesel engines are easier for control and they react to their driver’s
actions rapidly.
The history of invention of the diesel engine is quite long and it dates back to
the 19th century, when the first ideas about the invention of an economic engine
appeared in the minds of the prominent engineers of that time. Rudolf Diesel was the
first engineer who managed to offer his own concept of an economic internal
combustion engine and he obtained a patent in 1892. In the run of time, the
technology of this engine has been improved and very soon diesel engines have
become introduced in heavy transport, like trucks, ships, trains, etc. It was evident that
cheap fuel and effectiveness of the engine’s structure can be used for the
improvement of the quality of public transport and the quality and price of
