4. Industrial diesel gas engines

4.1 Technological features

The primary characteristic of a diesel gas engine is the way in which combustion is triggered. The aim of the compression phase is to raise the temperature of the oxidizer or oxidizer-fuel mixture above its flammability limit.

The second characteristic of the diesel gas engine is the nature of the fuels used, at least one of which must be gaseous.

The engine's technological features, which derive from the previous two characteristics, concern the volumetric compression ratio, which must be sufficient to enable self-ignition, and the nature of the fuel, which can be gaseous or liquid. They mainly concern [63] :
