In a warm diesel engine, ignition is achieved through the principle of compression ignition, which is a characteristic aspect of diesel engines. Unlike gasoline engines that use spark plugs to ignite the fuel-air mixture, diesel engines compress air in the combustion chamber to a high degree, significantly increasing its temperature. When the engine is warm, the air temperature in the combustion chamber is already elevated, which facilitates the ignition process. As the diesel fuel is injected into this hot, compressed air environment, typically through a fuel injector, it spontaneously ignites due to the high temperatures. The precise timing of fuel injection is crucial for efficient combustion and performance. This process allows diesel engines to operate efficiently and with a high torque output, especially in warm conditions where the initial air temperature enhances the efficiency of combustion.

It is a process known as compression ignition that ignites diesel fuel in a hot diesel engine. Injections of compressed air into the combustion chamber by the injectors ignite the fuel to burn and power the engine. The compressed air heats the air in the cylinder. then injects it into the combustion chamber in time through the injectors. Unlike gasoline engines. this process does not require a spark plug. but only heat generated by compression to ignite the fuel.
