On February 23, 1893, the inventor of German Rudolf Christian Karl diesel acquired a patent for the design of his machine. a machine that came to be known as a diesel engine. the workings of this diesel engine is by triggering compression. diesel engines use high heat-induced compression to ignite the fuel.
mesien diesel is widely used in europe and famous for its efficient diesel engine and its power. up to now diesel engines are still widely used, especially for heavy industry. but behind the efficiency of the use of diesel engine results in exhaust emissions, jelanga and smell more when compared to gasoline engines.
Rudolf Diesel conducted a research, how to make the use of fuel on a machine to be more efficient. He knew that the steam engines that existed in his era, only have an efficiency level of 10-15%. He then designed a machine with fuel sprayed into the compression chamber where the fuel would burn from the heat generated by compression. This engine is what we know today with Diesel Engines. Diesel's dream of creating a machine with high efficiency is achieved, because the fuel source for diesel engines used today and we are familiar with the name 'diesel' is the residual oil from the gasoline filtering results.
