Ignition system

What is the difference in ignition systems and how does it change?

 diesel and petrol engines is that while diesel fuel burns spontaneously
due to pressure, in the explosion-so they are actually called-the fuel
explodes after the process starts with a spark.
The diesel cycle propulsors work due to the same phenomenon that
makes when we inflate the wheel of a bicycle, the pump gets hot. When
we compress a gas, it increases in temperature. If the gas is air, nothing
happens, but if we add a fuel and the pressure increases enough, the
temperature goes up to make the mixture flammable and spontaneously
burn.

 The problem with gasoline engines is that the fuel is not as stable as in
diesel and does not always burn at the same pressure, so the
compression of the engine is always below the ignition pressure to avoid
uncontrolled auto ignition. In an Otto cycle mechanics, in order for the
fuel to ignite at the precise moment, it is necessary to start the
combustion with a spark: in addition to a fuel supply system, it needs an
ignition or ignition system.

 Thanks to advances in electronics, it has concentrated on a single


control unit, control of time and time of injection and ignition, optimizing
performance dramatically. Depending on parameters such as speed,
throttle position, air pressure and atmosphere, ambient temperature and
even gasoline quality, modern injection systems precisely calculate the
exact moment at which you should jump the spark and even produces
more than one spark.
