32A diesel engine has no throttle plate so it always takes in maximum amount of air and the fuel injected is varied according to load, rpm. It ranges from 50:1 or leaner at idle to stoichiometric ratio (dont think its the same as petrols) at full load.
It can vary from near 100:1 at no load to under 15:1 at full load.
There is no required a/f ratio on a diesel. It can be as low as 100:1 at no load idle.
make the fuel sufficient burning
Ensures that all the fuel mixes with the air creating a proper air to fuel ratio to produce combustion.
The diesel engine can operate at 12:1 to 24:1 at idle.
At idle it can be 50 : 1 or even 100:1.
Petrol ideal air/fuel mixture is 14.7 to 1. Diesel, ideal fuel/air mixture is 14.6 to 1. As very few engines run at the ideal mixture they are basically both the same.
The ratio is about 15:1 fuel to air.
Black smoke can be caused when there is an improper air to fuel ratio . This can be anything from a plugged air cleaner,injector,turbo....
The air fuel ratio of the petrol engine is controlled by Carburetor
Nine cubic meters of air is required to burn 1 liter of fuel in a diesel engine. A person does not put liters of air into a diesel engine. Liters of fuel are put into a diesel engine.
A diesel engine uses a high pressure fuel system,which means that it can't have air in it,it's kinda like the hydraulic brake system,if their is air in it,it won't work right. when you run a diesel out of fuel,it sucks in a bunch of air,which must be bled out of the system,in order for it to re-prime its self. if you don't get the air out,then,the diesel fuel will only travel up so far into the fuel line,until it is stopped by air,that's why a diesel is so hard to start after you run them outta fuel.
