Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...

The compression ratio isn’t just a number: it’s one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant ...

Pretty simple question actually (or so my ignorant mind thinks): At what compression ratio would an engine benefit from higher octane fuel? The Focus I drive is just over 10:1, and I've heard some say ...

Installing a recycle valve in parallel with the antisurge valve of a turbine-driven multistage (low pressure/high pressure) centrifugal compressor, in combination with control system modifications, ...

A refrigeration system’s compression or pressure ratio is defined as the absolute discharge pressure divided by the absolute suction pressure. Calculating this ratio can be a big help when it comes to ...

My column in the March 8 issue of The NEWS dealt mainly with reciprocating compressors experiencing low head pressure and high suction pressure from bad valves. The article pointed out reasons why a ...

Diesel engines are different from gas engines in numerous ways, including their use of high compression ratios. Here's why ...
