Q

The fuel is supplied by one pump and switched to each cylinder by a multi outlet rotating valve or distributor

A

Distributor system

22
Q

This is virtually a distributor two stage pumping system that is, modified distributor system

A

Injector system

23
Q

A chamber so proportioned with respect to the clearance volume proper of the cylinder that only about 30% of the combustion takes place within the chamber itself

A

Pre combustion chamber

24
Q

The entire charge is ignited in the separate combustion chamber before the initial expansion takes place, forcing the burning gases through the connecting passages and against the moving piston

A

Separate combustion chamber

25
Q

A chamber so designed that injection takes place directly opposite its outlet, the chamber extending backward from the outlet

A

Ante combustion chamber

26
Q

Fuel is injected only into the main cylinder, during expansion of the burning gases in the main chamber, when the pressure therein drops below that of the air in the cell

A

Air cell chamber

27
Q

What is the temperature of air in the cylinder when the Diesel engine is operating at full load
