Ways to increase diesel engine efficiency?
Hello gang,
I was reading an article yesterday about a company who has developed an interesting diesel motor based on the rotary designed engine. The engine is quite compact with far less parts than of our traditional diesel designs. It also stated in the article it achieves greater than 50% efficiency.
Mr diesel himself stated that the theoretical efficiency of the diesel engine was 75%. If this is correct than we have a long ways to go even 20% would have huge gains in mpg for the average vehicle.
So what are some ways to increase diesel engine efficiency that can be applied to our current diesels now?
