dieselový

Dieselový refers to anything related to diesel fuel or diesel engines. Diesel fuel is a type of liquid fuel that is derived from crude oil. It is composed of hydrocarbons, primarily alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic compounds. Diesel fuel is characterized by its higher energy density compared to gasoline and its use in compression-ignition engines.

Diesel engines, also known as compression-ignition engines, operate on a principle where air is compressed to a high temperature. Fuel is then injected into this hot compressed air, causing it to ignite and combust. This process differs from gasoline engines, which use spark plugs to ignite a fuel-air mixture. Diesel engines are known for their durability, fuel efficiency, and high torque, making them popular in heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, buses, trains, and ships, as well as in some passenger cars and industrial machinery.

The term "dieselový" can be used as an adjective to describe various things. For instance, "dieselový motor" means diesel engine, "dieselový pohon" refers to diesel power or propulsion, and "dieselový automobil" means a diesel car. The use of diesel fuel and engines has environmental implications, as diesel combustion produces particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, which are considered pollutants. Regulations and advancements in engine technology aim to mitigate these emissions.
