Precombustion chamber and compression chamber

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the differences between precombustion chambers and compression chambers in diesel engines, specifically those utilizing indirect injection. Indirect injection is advantageous for small, high-speed engines, as it facilitates rapid fuel-air mixing through an auxiliary combustion chamber, enhancing turbulence and combustion efficiency. In contrast, direct injection designs, commonly found in larger diesel engines and modern small engines, integrate the combustion chamber into the piston bowl, relying on inlet port and piston design for turbulence generation.

i 'd like to ask abt the difference between precombustion chamber and compression chamber which used in diesel engines (indirect injection)??

What do you want to know? Indirect injection has traditionally been used for small, high-speed engines where the rapid fuel-air mixing required is achieved by air being forced into an auxiliary combustion chamber toward the end of the compression stroke. This chamber promotes highly turbulent flow, and when the fuel is injected, high mixing rates can be achieved. The resulting pressure rise causes the combustion gases to expand into the main chamber, where combustion continues, and the resulting turbulence aids complete combustion. A direct injection design (as seen on traditional large diesel engines, and in modern small engines) puts the combustion chamber into the piston bowl, and relies on inlet port and piston design to create the necessary turbulence for combustion.
