  2. Diesel engine runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine_runaway

    Diesel engine runaway is an occurrence in diesel engines, in which the engine draws extra fuel from an unintended source and overspeeds at higher and higher RPM, producing up to ten times the engine's rated output until destroyed by mechanical failure or bearing seizure due to a lack of lubrication.

    With the slogan “The challenger“, the HATZ 1B-series was presented in 1996, showing a number of technical highlights. In a minimum of space, all the important functional components of the engine such as decompression device, injection pump drive, oil pump with oil pump pressure regulator, valve train system for inlet and outlet valve, governor, speed control lever with governor spring and ...

  4. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    Dieseling or engine run-on is a condition that can occur in spark-plug-ignited, gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after being turned off, drawing fuel through the carburetor, into the engine and igniting it without a spark.

    This engine was designed in 1998 with the related 4-cylinder variant R 420 SOHC. In 1999, VM granted Hyundai the license to manufacture both engines. Under terms of the agreement, Hyundai was able to manufacture the engines only to power its vehicles, while VM was free to grant other license agreements also in Korea, as happened in 2004 with GM ...

  6. Cold start (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(automotive)

    Generally speaking, diesel engines have more difficulty starting at low outside temperatures than gasoline engines, and electric engines have the most problems. Diesel engines do not use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and rely only on the heat generated by compression alone to ignite the fuel.

    The Daihatsu 2HA engine is a horizontal engine that was developed for Daihatsu Bee (1951-1952). The 2HA engine was available in two version, 540 cc and 804 cc. The earlier version was a 540 cc, with output 13.5 PS (13.3 hp; 9.9 kW) and the larger 804 cc available shortly, with output increased to 18 PS (17.8 hp; 13.2 kW). [17]

    LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage. [4] It's commonly known as "Detonation or Knock". Engine management systems can overcome pre ignition by the means of a knock or detonation sensor.

    1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of diesel fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).
