Hi John,
Detonation refers to more energy being imparted to the fuel air mixture by compression heating than can be absorbed without igniting the fuel. Detonation damages rod bearings and is a serious problem over the long term in reciprocating engines. John, every power stroke of a diesel engine fits that definition. Diesels, by definition, compress the fuel & air to the point the fuel ignites. only air is compressed, but well beyond the point where fuel will ignite! But the fuel is only added at the moment when it is supposed to ignite. regards, Friedrich -- for personal email please remove "entfernen" from my adress |
