Diesel

at growing and moving into industrialization, the demand for the purchase of condensates is increasing, but we are trying to supply these products from Russia and Iran to meet this need of our customers. The warehouses in Fujairah and Notre-Dame are possible after obtaining the contract and sending SGS for customers to make an appointment and visit during the purchase process. the contract and sending SGS for customers to make an appointment and visit during the purchase process.

Diesel vs. Gasoline: The Fundamental Difference

Diesel and gasoline are both refined from crude oil. However, gasoline is more refined than Diesel. This makes gasoline thinner in density and more volatile. So, in practical use, gasoline burns faster, which allows it to produce more power or horsepower. 

Whereas Diesel fuel is thicker in density, it evaporates more slowly. It has a higher energy density, which means that 20% more energy is produced from Diesel than the same amount of gasoline.

This is why Diesel engines are favored in big machines as they can produce more energy at lower RPMs and provide more torque. In contrast, gasoline engines are used in lightweight vehicles that need less torque and more horsepower to go faster.

Both Diesel and gasoline are fuels that use internal combustion to produce power. In a combustion engine, fuel is burnt by causing an explosion in a closed space (the combustion chamber). As combustion happens inside the engine, it pushes down the piston, which then moves the crankshaft and then ultimately moves the wheels. 

While both engines use the same concept, it is the process of combustion that makes the difference. 

In gasoline engines, the fuel is first mixed with air and then compressed by the piston. Then a spark plug creates a spark to cause an explosion (combustion). The explosion then again moves the piston, which moves the crankshaft and ultimately moves the wheel. 

A Diesel engine, however, doesn’t need spark plugs for combustion.

Diesel engines work on a system called compression-ignited injection. Unlike gas engines, where a simple spark is needed for ignition, Diesel fuel first needs to be vaporized. Then it is sent to the combustion chamber, where it ignites at a high temperature. 

Compressed air is used to increase the temperature of the combustion chamber. As the piston compresses the air, it gets hotter due to pressure. The hot air, when mixed with vaporized Diesel, ignites, and combustion happens. A glow plug is used with some engines to increase temperature. 

Diesel engines have a high compression ratio which allows them to be more efficient than gasoline. Meaning they can produce more energy compared to gas
