Development and Performance of the Hispano-Suiza Turbulence Chamber

Basic differences between the major diesel combustion systems are briefly discussed. Design details are given and the combustion process of the latest Hispano-Suiza combustion chamber is described. Development problems and their solutions of this combustion chamber in the DH-3000 engine are summarized. The relatively clean exhaust, in comparison with other engines, is a particular advantage of this combustion system and is demonstrated on the basis of test data.
