__NOTOC__
Diesel generators are frequently used as a stationary power source. The main parts of the engine are the cylinders, pistons, valves and crankshaft. Air is compressed
by a piston inside a cylinder and diesel fuel is injected into it by a high pressure pump, which results in an explosion that moves the piston. In turn, the piston turns a crankshaft, which can be put to use, for example, by driving a pump or electricity generator. Valves in the cylinder regulate the inflow of fuel and air, and the outflow of exhaust gases.
