  2. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    In piston engines, static compression ratio is determined using the ... Compression ratios are often between 14:1 and 23:1 for direct injection diesel engines, ...

  3. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

    The fuel efficiency of diesel engines is better than most other types of combustion engines, [145] [146] due to their high compression ratio, high air–fuel equivalence ratio (λ), [147] and the lack of intake air restrictions (i.e. throttle valves).

  4. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

    However, a real diesel engine will be more efficient overall since it will have the ability to operate at higher compression ratios. If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking (self-ignition) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired ...

  5. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    Most petrol (gasoline, Otto cycle) and diesel (Diesel cycle) engines have an expansion ratio equal to the compression ratio. Some engines, which use the Atkinson cycle or the Miller cycle achieve increased efficiency by having an expansion ratio larger than the compression ratio. Diesel engines have a compression/expansion ratio between 14:1 ...

  6. Cummins B Series engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummins_B_Series_engine

    Compression ratio: 17.5:1 The 5.9 L Cummins, also known as the "12-Valve" Cummins was the first member of the Cummins B-Series to be used in a light truck vehicle. The 6BT used Bosch fuel systems, injector, and VE rotary pump and P7100 inline injection pumps.

  7. Turbo-diesel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-diesel

    Since the 1990s, the compression ratio of turbo-diesel engines has been dropping, due to better specific power and better exhaust-emission behaviour of turbocharged engines with a lower compression ratio. Indirect injected engines used to have compression ratios of 18.5 or higher. Following the introduction of common rail engines in the late ...

  8. Toyota B engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_B_engine

    The 14B is a 3.7 L (3661 cc) inline-four eight-valve OHV direct injection diesel engine. [3] Compression ratio is 18:1. Output is 98 hp (72 kW) at 3,400 rpm with 177 lb·fts (240 N·m) of torque at 1,800 rpm. The 14B was launched in 1988 at the same time as the updated B, 3B and 11B.
