Duramax Diesels Are State Of The Art
When the General Motors Turbocharged 6600 Duramax Diesels first premiered they were seen as a technological and engineering revelation. The 6.6 Liter Duramax Diesels were a completely new overhead valve, 4 valves per cylinder engine design that featured direct injection, a turbocharger and aluminum cylinder heads engineered in high swirl designs. These Duramax Diesels' features marked a turning point in General Motors diesel technology as the Duramax Diesels established the company as a leader in North American diesel engineering. The Duramax Diesels had improved cooling characteristics over earlier General Motors diesel engines and were more reliable and more powerful.
Diesel Duramax Means Reliability
The 4 valve per cylinder design of the Duramax Diesels' heads in the Diesel Duramax 6600 increases airflow into the combustion chamber and then back out. By way of processing more air it ameliorates the breathing of the Duramax Diesels at higher revs and is able to generate a greater amount of horsepower. Optimizing the flow of the fuel and air charge is an essential part of gaining more horsepower and torque from any diesel motor and the Duramax Diesels have had countless hundreds of hours of engineering studies done on the Duramax Diesels' injectors and intake to ensure the best possible results. The Diesel Duramax 6600 has a very particular special design to the shape of the valves where they have a tiny twist relative to the Duramax Diesels' crank shaft center line.
Advanced Airflow Intake For The Duramax Diesel
This small twist allows the air which is incoming into the Duramax Diesel combustion chamber to swirl, which aids in the process of combustion. This swirling effect in the Duramax Diesels helps to keep emissions low and fuel economy high. The Duramax Diesel employs many different techniques for cooling various aspects of the Duramax Diesels' engine, many of which are exclusive only to the General Motors Duramax Diesels which have quickly become the state of the art in the light and medium truck industry.
The Turbocharged Power Of The Chevy Duramax Diesel
The Chevy Duramax Diesel has a charge-air cooler. This is a turbocharger mounted in the center of the Duramax Diesels which is able to pull ambient air from the outside through the air cleaner filter and directly through into its own compressor intake. Once the air is compressed it is directed through a specific duct to the charge-air cooler of the Duramax Diesels. The charge-air cooler on the Duramax Diesels is setup as if it were an extra radiator which sits in front of the conventional radiator cooler for the engine. The air which is now cooled flows through a manifold of intake into the Chevy Duramax Diesel engine.
Diesel Duramax Engine Will Last Hundreds Of Thousands Of Miles
This cooler air is now denser so it is able to combust more thoroughly with the fuel and provides greater brake horsepower in the Diesel Duramax Engine. An extra added benefit is that the temperatures in the combustion chamber of the Duramax Diesels are significantly reduced. This helps General Motors to warrant that its Diesel Duramax Engine is extremely durable and will last many hundreds of thousands of miles.
Diesel Engine Duramax Gets Better Every Year
The Diesel Engine Duramax 6600 was engineered to have an operating life than no less than 200,000 miles. This operating expected life is intended by General Motors to not provide for any failures of major components in the Duramax Diesels. Many durability enhancements have been implemented in the Diesel Engine Duramax 6600 as an already great engine is becoming better and better every year. The illustrious history of the Duramax Diesels continues! |
