Are there spark plugs in turbofan engines?
No. There are not "spark plugs" on turbofan engines. There are ignitors, which help to ignite the fuel during start, but unlike spark plugs, ignitors do not run constantly.
Are spark plugs used in diesel engines?
NO, fuel is ignited by compression.
Spark plugs cause the ignition in Diesel engines?
No, spark plugs do not cause ignition in diesels. The fuel compression causes ignition
Why diesel engines don't use spark plugs?
Because the fuel is ignited by compression, not spark. A totally different principle.
How many spark plugs are in a 4 cylinder engine?
The number of spark plug in a 4-cylinder engine depends on the type of engine you have. Some engines only have four spark plugs on the intake side for the ignition of the fuel. Other engines have eight spark plugs, four on the intake side to ignite the fuel and four on the exhaust side to ignite the exhaust fumes.
Do diesel engines require spark plugs?
No diesel engines use the "heat of compression" to cause fuel to ignite not electrical ignition.
What is the spark plug gap on a 2000 Kawasaki 1500 nomad fuel injected?
buy platinum tip spark plugs they dont need gapping
Is diesel fuel the same as distillate?
No, 'distillate' is not the same as diesel fuel. It is more like kerosene and is used in engines that have spark plugs for ignition rather than high compression to ignite the (injected) fuel. Distillate engines often have a small gasoline tank so they will start col on gasoline and you switch it to distillate after it warms up.
Although diesel engines have no spark plugs to ignite this mixture it ignites anyways because?
The air in the combustion chamber(s) have been compressed hard enough to make it so hot that the fuel will self ignite when injected.
Do diesel cars have spark plugs?
Diesel engines uses the heat of compression in order to ignite the fuel that has been injected into the fuel chamber. Rather than using a spark plug like a benzine combustion engine, the diesel engine uses highly compressed hot air in order to achieve ignition.
What is the difference between petrol and diesel car engines?
there are lots of differences. one no spark plugs. diesel fires by compression and heat gas or petrol requires a spark. the fuel delivery is diffrent to diesel is usally injected under a higher psi to areosol the fuel better. but diesel is more like fuel injection because the valves are diffrent
Why don't diesel engines use spark plugs?
diesel engines do not use spark plugs because diesel has more oil, burns slower, and is more difficult to ignite. Therefor spark plugs are insufficient with just spark so instead they use glow plugs witch provides a high amount of heat to the fuel and ignites more quickly and reliably.The amount of compression pressure in a diesel engine is sufficient to produce enough heat to ignite the fuel. The glow plugs are only used on a cold start.
