What is Hydrostatic Transmission? Transmission of power using interconnected devices from one point to another is called power transmission. Mechanical, electric, hydrodynamic, hydromechanical, and hydrostatic transmission are some categories of power transmission. This article included the topic hydrostatic transmission. But, a few details regarding other power transmission methods are also listed below. Mechanical Transmission: These type of transmission system uses shafts, gears, torque converters, chains and belts for converting mechanical energy to kinetic energy.Transmission of power from an engine to the wheels of an automotive is an application. Electric Transmission: In Electric transmission, an electric generator is used for converting mechanical energy to electric and with an electric motor this is converted back to mechanical energy. Electric transmission occurs in transformers. Electric Transmission: In Electric transmission, an electric generator is used for convert...
A diesel engine operates without an ignition spark, therefore the fuel is combusted due to auto-ignition. Combustion takes place in a cylinder. The air drawn into the cylinder is compressed by a piston so that its temperature rises sharply. The combustion causes the piston to move downward so that the crankshaft is turned and the engine runs. Type of Combustion A wide variety of different engine types were produced in the course of diesel engine development. One decisive difference between them is due to the design of the combustion chamber. Generally speaking, in automotive applications, there is difference between indirect-injection (IDI) engine and direct-injection (DI) engines. IDI engine IDI engines have a divided combustion chamber. Fuel is injected into a prechamber in which combustion is initiated. Less noise is generated in the IDI engine because of the prechamber principle. DI engine In the DI engine, the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder’s combustion chamber. D...
