A single-cylinder diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that operates on diesel fuel and has one cylinder. Here are some key features and characteristics:

Key Features:

Design:

Typically compact, making it suitable for small machinery and vehicles.

Consists of a cylinder, piston, crankshaft, and fuel injection system.

Operation:

Operates on the diesel cycle, where air is compressed in the cylinder, raising its temperature, and then fuel is injected to ignite due to the high temperature.

Generally more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines.

Applications:

Commonly used in agricultural equipment, generators, small vehicles, and marine engines.

Advantages:

High torque output at low RPM.

Better fuel efficiency and durability compared to gasoline engines.

Suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Disadvantages:

Heavier and more complex than equivalent gasoline engines.

Noisier operation and potential for more vibration.
