Diesel vs. Gasoline Engine
Before using common rail, we told about the machine that is now used in general based on fuel oil. there are only two types, namely gasoline and diesel.
Among the techniques, diesel engine known as CI (compression ignition) engine with the ignition or compression. Meanwhile, gasoline engine called SI (spark ignition) engine with spark ignition (spark plugs).
In the diesel engine, combustion is triggered by the air or be compressed in the cylinder. Due to compression, the air pressure becomes very high. The same temperature reaches the highest point of diesel fuel. Therefore, the solar injected to the air, burned directly. In this way, does not require diesel engine ignition system or spark fireworks.
To get the high pressure, the difference in compression must be high. For diesel engines is ranging from 16 to 25: 1. Meanwhile, gasoline engine 6 – 12: 1. Comparison of compression determines the efficiency of a machine. The higher the comparison of compression, the engine will more efficient. However, comparison of compression can not be determined by the board. Must also consider the nature and quality of fuel that will be used
