Why does a single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine have such great power?

As is well known, China has been an agricultural powerhouse since ancient times. With the development of technology, the agricultural field has also begun to move towards mechanization and modernization. For many farmers now, single cylinder air-cooled diesel engines are of great help, and their presence is indispensable in agricultural water conservancy. Replacing it with various supporting machinery, the single cylinder diesel engine can pull crops, cultivate land, farm, harvest, thresh, irrigate, sow, grind flour, generate electricity, etc. It is indeed a divine tool. Later on, multiple models of single cylinder diesel engines emerged, no longer just a single 12 horsepower (8.8 kW), with more diverse names and more complete supporting facilities. The single cylinder diesel engine is equipped with various agricultural machinery, which is extremely flexible and adaptable to various environments. It shines brightly in fields, mountain slopes, forests, and riverside ditches.

Now, there is an interesting topic online: Why does a single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine have such great power? Indeed, in the eyes of many people, a tractor with 12 horsepower can pull 10 tons or 20 tons of cargo, and it is particularly powerful. Or for example, in the case of farmland, a small hand-held tractor head with a drive plow installed can quickly cultivate 15 acres on hard soil, and it only burns 20 liters of diesel. For example, driving a water pump, a 12 horsepower single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine can drive a large water pump, and the water in a large pond can be drained in 3 hours, which is indeed very magical.

In fact, a single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine is simple in design and easy to manufacture. Its cylinder diameter is large, the piston travel is long, and the flywheel is heavy. In other words, it is developed for agricultural production. A single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine does not require speed, but only torque (which is commonly known as “strength”). It is an agricultural machinery rather than a transportation vehicle. A single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine has low speed and high torque, but the speed is slow. It’s true that a tractor can pull a few tons or even a dozen tons, but it runs very slowly, like a snail. Although a small car may not be as powerful as a tractor, it is fast and can easily drive far in an hour. The positioning of the two is different, the usage scenarios are different, and the manufacturing purposes are different.

Therefore, although single cylinder air-cooled diesel engines have great power, they also sacrifice speed. However, even so, single cylinder air-cooled diesel engines are still an indispensable and important component in the agricultural field
