Diesel generator creator:

The world's first diesel engine was born in Augsburg, Germany in 1897, invented by Rudolf Diesel, the founder of MAN Corporation. The current English name for diesel engines is the founder's name Diesel. After the invention of the steam engine, Rudolf Diesel, the son of a German leather merchant, showed great interest in the "steam engine" while studying at the Technical University of Munich. At the age of 34 (1892), he obtained a patent for a mechanical device that compressed air into a container and mixed it thoroughly with coal powder until it was compressed and ignited to provide power. In the second year, MAN, located in Augsburg, Germany, manufactured the world's first prototype diesel engine based on this patent and named it the "DIESEL" engine. Like all new things, the Diesel engine has gone through a long process from birth to continuous improvement. Mr. Diesel unfortunately passed away at the age of 55 and was unable to see the engine he invented installed in cars. Ten years later, MAN finally launched the first Diesel engine installed on a truck at the Berlin Auto Show. Later, Mercedes Benz, based in Mannheim, manufactured Diesel engines with pre combustion chambers.

Biography of the founder of diesel engines:

Rudolf Diesel. He was born in Paris, but his parents were both Germans. In his youth, to avoid the Franco German war, his whole family fled to London, England for refuge. After the war, Diesel received education at Augsburg and the Technical University of Munich. During his university years, he began researching steam engines and was determined to invent a new type of engine. After graduating from university, Diesel started working as a refrigeration engineer. At that time, he had planned to manufacture a steam engine that used ammonia, but ultimately failed. In 1885, his interest shifted to what he called the "rational heat engine" problem, where the liquid ammonia compressor of the refrigeration machine generated a large amount of heat during the compression process, leaving a profound impact on him.

In 1890, Diesel returned to Berlin and devoted himself to researching power machines. Diesel hopes to create diesel engines that are better than gasoline engines. In 1897, he finally succeeded. In theory, diesel engines have higher efficiency than gasoline engines and are more suitable as power sources for ships; In addition, diesel engines do not require electronic ignition, and the diesel they use is also cheaper than gasoline. The power of the first engine was 13 kilowatts, with low heat loss and an efficiency of 38%, far higher than steam and gasoline engines. Soon, this type of machine became a widely used fixed engine in power plants, and after continuous improvement, it is now not only used on ships, but also widely used on large buses and trucks.

Background of the birth of diesel generators:

MAN Company is the most professional diesel engine manufacturing company in the world today, with a maximum single machine capacity of 15000KW. It is a major power supplier in the ocean shipping industry. Large diesel power plants in China also rely on MAN companies, such as the Dongjiang Power Plant in Huizhou, Guangdong (100000 KW). Foshan Power Plant (80000 KW) is a unit provided by MAN Company.

In 1769, after years of research and experimentation, the Frenchman Giovanni developed the world's first car powered by a steam engine. In the following days, steam cars, which had to carry heavy boilers, briefly served as one of people's main means of transportation. However, due to their bulky and time-consuming nature, they quickly lost to rising stars such as internal combustion engine cars. After the last two seater "Pearson Cox" brand in 1916, there were no new steam cars on the market.

In 1834, electric vehicles were introduced to the world before internal combustion engine driven cars. It is odorless, vibration free, noise free, does not require gear shifting, and has a low price. It has shared the world automotive market with steam cars and internal combustion engine cars. But with the continuous improvement of oil development and internal combustion engine technology, the development of electric vehicles stagnated for more than half a century after 1920.

The diesel car, also known as the internal combustion engine, has truly shared over a hundred years of automotive mileage with Karl Benz's gasoline cars.

People also cannot forget Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, who was a great inventor with many misfortunes.

Diesel was born in Paris, France in 1858, and his father was a refined leather manufacturer from Augsburg, Germany. After reaching adulthood, Diesel enrolled in the Technical University of Munich in Germany. During his college years in 1876, German Otto successfully developed the first four stroke gas engine, marking the first practical application of the French technician Roche's internal combustion engine theory. This achievement inspired many engineers who were engaged in mechanical power research at that time, including the later inventors of automobiles, Karl Benz and Gottliep Daimler, as well as young people interested in machine power, Diesel.

Unlike Mercedes Benz and Daimler, which were dedicated to transforming Otto engines, Diesel's ideas were more advanced. He wanted to completely abandon the ignition system in the engine and rely on compressed air to generate heat, inject fuel, and then self ignite to do work. This method is completely different from the method of inhaling gas mixture to ignite work. Later generations referred to Diesel's principle as the "compression internal combustion engine" principle. Of course, Diesel's idea was not unfounded, as he did not invent a distributor or high-voltage ignition coil at the time. The ignition device was very simple and unstable, and it is understandable that Diesel wanted to bypass this technical obstacle. Soon, he found inspiration for the pneumatic lighter invented by the Frenchman Joseph Mallet and persevered in his exploration.

Diesel did not expect that his idea would be much more complex to implement than inventing an ignition system. The first issue he encountered was the fuel problem. The commonly used gasoline is very active and easy to ignite, but gasoline cannot adapt to compression ignition engines with high compression ratios. Once gasoline is atomized and injected into a combustion chamber containing high-temperature and high-pressure air, it will cause violent cylinder knocking or even explosion. Abandoning gasoline was inevitable, and Diesel creatively targeted vegetable oil. After a series of experiments, attempts at vegetable oil also failed, but he was the first person to introduce vegetable oil into internal combustion engines. Therefore, modern advocates of "green fuel" regard Diesel as the ancestor.

The final fuel selection was locked in diesel, which has not been given much attention in petroleum cracking products.

Compared to gasoline, diesel has very stable properties and is difficult to ignite. At the same time, once ignited, diesel emits a large amount of black smoke, so it cannot be used for lighting like kerosene. But the stable characteristics of diesel are precisely suitable for compression ignition internal combustion engines, and diesel will not experience detonation even in very high compression ratios, which is exactly what Diesel needs. He first sucks in pure air into the cylinder, and then uses a piston to compress it forcefully, reducing the air to about 15 times and raising the temperature to 500-700 ℃. At this time, diesel becomes a mist and is sprayed into the cylinder, mixing with the high-temperature compressed air in the cylinder. Due to the high temperature inside the cylinder, diesel immediately ignites and burns on its own after injection, generating high pressure and pushing the piston to do work. After nearly 20 years of dedicated research, Diesel finally successfully developed the first compression ignition internal combustion engine, which was a diesel engine, in 1892.

The biggest feature of diesel engines is fuel efficiency and high thermal efficiency. After more than 40 years of improvement and development, fuel-efficient and high-power diesel engines have finally been accepted by the automotive industry. In 1936, diesel engines were first installed on Mercedes Benz 260D cars, opening a new chapter in diesel cars. Nowadays, almost all large tonnage freight cars and buses around the world are equipped with diesel engines, and more and more cars are using diesel engines.

Unfortunately, Diesel only saw the beginning of the great era he had initiated. As an excellent engineer, Diesel lacks a business acumen. He is gradually falling into economic difficulties. In 1913, Diesel, who was on the brink of bankruptcy, committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea on a ferry crossing the English Channel. But the era of diesel engines has been continuing.

With stricter restrictions on car fuel consumption and emissions, diesel engines are becoming increasingly attractive to car manufacturers. Diesel cars, which have been with gasoline cars for over 100 years, may go even longer and farther than their companions.
