Diesel Engine
Item Name Code (INC) 03751
![]() |
A reciprocating internal combustion engine in which the power necessary to produce motion of the mechanism is obtained by igniting a compressed fuel and air mixture within the cylinder or cylinders by extreme heat resulting from compression. The engine consists of a cylinder block assembly complete with cylinder head(s) and oil pan(s). It may include attachments or accessories, such as starter motor, transmission for auxiliary equipment, clutch, oil filter, flywheel, flywheel housing or battery charging generator. A fuel tank is not included. For a complete operating power unit mounted on a base, see POWER UNIT (1), DIESEL.
Additional Information for Diesel Engine
Diesel engines are a type of internal combustion engine that uses diesel fuel to generate power. They are commonly used in various applications, including automobiles, trucks, ships, generators, and industrial machinery.
Diesel engines are known for their efficiency and durability. They operate by compressing air inside the combustion chamber, which raises the temperature. Diesel fuel is then injected into the chamber, where it ignites due to the high temperature and pressure. This combustion process produces the power that drives the engine.
Diesel engines are preferred in many applications due to their higher torque output, better fuel efficiency, and longer lifespan compared to gasoline engines. They are also known for their ability to operate under heavy loads and in demanding conditions.
In the supply class "Diesel Engines And Components" within the supply group "Engines, Turbines, And Components," you can find a wide range of diesel engines and related components. This may include complete diesel engine units, engine blocks, cylinder heads, fuel injection systems, turbochargers, exhaust systems, and other parts necessary for the operation and maintenance of diesel engines.
When selecting diesel engines and components, it is important to consider factors such as power output, fuel efficiency, emissions compliance, and compatibility with the intended application. It is also essential to ensure that the chosen components meet the required quality standards and are sourced from reliable suppliers.
