Article For a long time, diesel engines were associated with low with low power, a sacrifice in convenience and a difficult to control exhaust behavior. Clean exhaust from diesel engines is not only achieved through the electronic control of injection but also through the continued development of all mechanical components. On diesel engines the injection system makes sure fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at the right moment with the required pressure and the correct amount. www.dieselpage.com /art0898pf.htm   (1630 words)

Diesel-electric - Definition, explanation Diesel submarines include generators for storing power in batteries, used for running underwater where oxygen is not available to feed the engines. Most diesel subs have multiple engines (usually two), so one can be used to directly power a propeller, and the other can be used to run a generator. Diesel refrigerated over the road trailers, diesel and electric refrigerated storage trailers, containers and reefer van trailers for rent or lease. www.calsky.com /lexikon/en/txt/d/di/diesel_electric.php   (804 words)

Diesel-electric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When the diesel engine was first installed in submarines before the First World War, it revolutionized submarine tactics because its range (or operating time) far surpassed that of the gasoline engine, and leaked vapors of its fuel were far less prone to explode within a submarine cabin. Conventional diesel engines were unsuitable for this application, owing to the time that it took to reverse the engine and produce power, while a steam engine had the responsiveness to bring the barge safely into the slip (even though operated through an engine room telegraph to an operator). By replacing the steam engine with a diesel electric unit (with parts commonality with a locomotive), maintenance was both simplified and reduced, several crew members could be eliminated, and the responsiveness to throttle operation (now directly controlled from the bridge) was substantially improved. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Diesel-electric   (1020 words)

Ferrymead Railway Diesel Locomotives Tr 22 is another small diesel shunter, built by the Drewry Car Co in 1939, being one of 17 of these small (9 ton) locomotives to operate on New Zealand Railways. In 1996 the Diesel Traction Group sold the locomotive to the Ferrymead Railway where it continues in regular use. The Diesel Traction Group selected Di 1820 for preservation and she was transferred to the South Island in 1991, then on to the Ferrymead Railway. www.trainweb.org /ferrymeadrail/locos_diesel.htm   (1601 words)

Last check: 2007-09-17) “Diesel is critical to GM’s global strategy,” Tom Stephens, vice president of GM Powertrain division said in August at an introduction of an all-new diesel V-8 engine to executives and journalists. We noticed some diesel combustion rattle noise—characteristic to all diesels and a product of the way combustion occurs—but it can be heard only from outside and behind the vehicle. Engineers explained that the traction control system was calibrated to clamp down on the launch because wheelspin and axle tramp would otherwise result. www.dieselforecast.com /ArticleDetails.php?articleID=304   (1028 words)

From this time they were partnered with former diesel multiple units converted to four-car push-pull carriage rakes to operate the suburban services around Dublin. 226 was the first mainline diesel to be preserved in Ireland, and both are currently based at Inchicore. www.biocrawler.com /encyclopedia/CIE_201_Class   (478 words)

The preservation story of M50397 & M56160 The 'Essex Railway Traction Group' claimed to be the "custodians" of the vehicle and that the legal owners were the 'Battlefield Railway', because the vehicle could not change ownership due to the 1992 Asbestos regulations which banned the sale or transfer of ownership of any vehicle containing any form of asbestos. The ownership of the DTC M56160 is disputed, 'Essex Rail Traction' told me that they have been custodians of the vehicle and passed the title to me and the 'Battlefield Railway' told me verbally that they sold the vehicle to 'Essex Rail Traction' and had the documents to prove this. This was a little different to the statement to the HSE and Southend County Court that the railway could not be sure of the date because one of their directors had left under a cloud of and had taken certain documents with him. www.railcar.co.uk /his100-109/103snetterton.htm   (1239 words)

Green Car Congress: Peugeot Adds Coupé Cabriolet Diesel Hybrid Variant The price of diesel is not artificially lower than that of gasoline, just look up the refinig process, diesel is easier to manufacture than gasoline (takes less energy to manufacture it from crude). Also, having diesel cars makes sense just from the point of view of thermodynamical efficiency, and it is not a surprise that this diesel hybrid beats all gasonline hybrids(like Prius) at 70 mpg. As long as the perception that 'bigger is better' is not changed, and as long as americans form their opinion on diesel cars based on old diesel truck engines, the US will miss an opportunity to drastically reduce fuel consumption just by employing ordinary, well-tested technology. www.greencarcongress.com /2006/06/peugeot_adds_co.html   (1968 words)
