Engine is a tool that has the ability to change the heat energy possessed by a fuel into mechanical energy. Based on the search function is used as a power source or prime mover (prime power) on the machine, generators, boats (marine vessel) or a wide range of industrial equipment.
Engine in this chapter is more specialized in internal combustion diesel engine types, as is widely used in heavy equipment rather than the type of motor gasoline. In this chapter does not discuss gasoline engine, four-stroke motors talks gasoline motor types are discussed in other subjects.
Classification Engine
This time to do a variety of different types of jobs that are already many types of engines are designed by humans. The first classification is done is divide the scene of the engine based on the combustion process and a change of heat energy into mechanical energy. If the two events had occurred in the same space, the engine is categorized as a type of internal combustion engine with. Whereas if the space is separated then the engine is an external combustion engine is categorized as.
External combustion engine can then be dib agi into two groups, namely: turbine and piston. In an internal combustion engine type classification engine further comprising: a piston engine, turbine and the Wankel or rotary.
Based on whether or not a spark to the combustion process, the engine piston is divided into two types, namely: diesel engines and spark ignited engines. Refers to the number of steps required to get one step diesel engines power the diesel engine is divided into two steps (two stroke) and four steps (four stroke).
Furthermore, diesel engines are four steps further classified based on how the inclusion of fuel into the combustion chamber into two types, namely: the engine with a system of pre-combustion chamber and direct injection. In a spark ignited engine first classification is based on the type of fuel used, namely: gas-fueled engines and gasoline.
