1.2. Engine Characteristics
1.2.1. OMEGA combustion bowl
The OMEGA combustion bowl is a unit designed to
perform high efficiency, low emission combustion.
As the rim around the combustion bowl port of the
upper of the piston has been machined in a smaller
size than the interior of the combustion bowl, strong
swirl is produced in the combustion bowl and strong
squish flow makes the fuel be mixed more sufficiently
with air.
Due to the application of OMEGA combustion
system and optimal utilization of intake and exhaust
port configuration within the cylinder head, the
DE12 series diesel engines discharge very low
level of hazardous exhaust gases such as smoke,
nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon, or carbon monoxide
and thus ensure high performance and low fuel
consumption.
