LEMONT - Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have joined forces with Caterpillar Inc. to develop a potential new piston design for heavy-duty diesel engines.

Across more than a century of automotive history, a handful of engines have earned reputations for surviving abuse, neglect, and astronomical odometer readings. The most durable designs share a common ...

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing the diesel engine business today is “re-orienting” design efforts away from a focus on exhaust emissions to fuel economy, performance, and component integration – ...

Some engines earn a reputation not just for power or refinement but for an almost absurd ability to survive neglect, abuse, and high mileage. When mechanics talk about designs that are “nearly ...

THE Diesel engine has now been constructed successfully in. so many different types that any book on its design which is not restricted to one particular line of development must almost necessarily ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This diesel engine indicator was ...

Cummins not only designed its exhaust catalyst for a maintenance-free life, but adjusted every aspect of the new QSF2.8 (at 2.8 liters its smallest off-road diesel engine) to reduce maintenance and ...

A team of engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney has figured out a way to run a diesel engine on a mix of diesel and hydrogen, dramatically lowering its emissions. Why do we ...

IN covering the whole field of Diesel engine design in a volume of about 350 pages, Mr. Purday has attempted a difficult task. It may be at once said that he has Avritten a very good book, in which a ...
