This is probably the wrong forum... ...



Ok Joe Donnelly, call me stupid:{ ... . but my feeble little brain can not figure out what position C is in Figure 1.



Can you or someone else enlighten me as to what it stands for?



Thank You

TTT

This inquiring mind would still like to know.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

B-C is the region of fast pressure rise, responsible for the diesel knock.

 

[Steve Campbell]

Thanks Joseph

You may have tried to e-mail that to me but my service is fouled up right now.



"diesel knock". Is this abated somewhat with the pilot injection system that is suppose to be coming out, or just the nature of the "beast"?

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

The next gen engine will be much quieter. Reportedly, it uses 3 injection events instead of one big one.

 

[Jumbo Jet]

Will those 3 injection events be reduced to 1 when the RPMs exceeds some threshold? Like maybe 2000-2500 RPM?
