Diesel engines are pretty different to gas engines, and that extends to cold starts. Cold starts can somewhat hurt a diesel engine, but it's not that simple.

ABSTRACT Future emission standards for Diesel engine will require a drastic reduction of engine-out NOx emissions with very low level of particulate matter (PM), HC and CO, and keeping under control ...

There are cold starts, and then there's this cacophony of sounds you get when trying to start a diesel truck at 30-below-zero.

Combustion instability is investigated during the cold starting of a single cylinder, direct injection, 4-stroke-cycle, air-cooled diesel engine. The experiments covered fuels of different properties ...

The best solution to cold weather diesel starting problems is to avoid them by being prepared for cold weather before it happens. Diesel engines are harder to start in cold weather because they ...

Diesel-fired engine pre-heaters can help ensure reliable engine starts in cold-weather conditions while reducing engine wear, preventing service calls and boosting driver satisfaction, fleets said.

The key benefit with cold combustion is higher efficiency: fifteen percent better mileage than the best gasoline engines without the more expensive fuel or the more complicated fuel injection and ...
