Über dieses Buch

The aim of this work, consisting of 9 individual, self-contained booklets, is to describe commercial vehicle technology in a way that is clear, concise and illustrative. Compact and easy to understand, it provides an overview of the technology that goes into modern commercial vehicles.

Starting from the customer's fundamental requirements, the characteristics and systems that define the design of the vehicles are presented knowledgeably in a series of articles, each of which can be read and studied on their own.

This volume, The Diesel Engine, provides an initial overview of the vast topic that is the diesel engine. It offers basic information about the mechanical functioning of the engine. The integration of the engine in the vehicle and major systems such as the cooling system, the fuel system and the exhaust gas treatment system are explained so that readers in training and in a practical setting may gain an understanding of the diesel engine.

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The undisputed king of commercial vehicle engines was for a century or so the diesel internal combustion engine.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 2. Diesel Fuel and Air
Abstract
We will first turn our attention to the energy source: diesel fuel.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 3. The Mechanics of the Engine
Abstract
The heart of the engine is the engine block or cylinder block. This accommodates the crank assembly.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 4. Integrating the Engine in the Vehicle
Abstract
The diesel engine must be integrated in the vehicle. It has many connection points with other vehicle systems, as is shown schematically in Fig. 4.1. For each of these interfaces, the requirements that must be met from both system connected must be defined during development of the vehicle.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 5. The Fuel System and Fuel Injection
Abstract
The fuel system consists of a low-pressure part and a high-pressure part. The low-pressure part includes the fuel tank, a fuel pump, the fuel filter and the low-pressure lines. The fuel filter in the low-pressure fuel system filters particles out of the fuel.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 6. The Exhaust System
Abstract
The exhaust gas which is expelled from the combustion chamber in the fourth stroke is forced out of the engine through the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold. When it leaves the combustion chambers, the discharged gas still contains valuable energy. It is the task of the exhaust gas turbocharger to recover (part of) this energy.
Michael Hilgers
Chapter 7. Thermodynamics
Abstract
Thermodynamics describes the process by which one form of energy is converted into another. Heat as a form of energy is a central aspect of the subject. With reference to the internal combustion engine, the conversion of the chemical energy in the fuel to the thermal energy of combustion, and finally to mechanical energy is a thermodynamic process.
