Low compression pressure in diesel engines
Low compression pressure in diesel engines
(OP)
In 3200HP diesel engine we have a particular thermodynamic behavior in a particular cylinder, monitored buy a pressure sensor that relates pressure with crankshaft position and comparing with other cylinders: there are low compression pressure, low peak pressure and a big delay in peak angle. If there are no leaks in the combustion chamber (by rings or valves), what would be the cause of a low compression pressure. We think that maybe there is a difference in volume between chambers (short connnecting rod, etc).
Thanks,

What does low compression do to a diesel? Slower ignition? Maybe a cracked liner? perhaps I am a bit late to reply to this thread.
