Are Displacement and Engine Capacity the Same?
1 Answers
Displacement and engine capacity refer to the same concept. The displacement of a car refers to the total volume of all the cylinders in the engine. Displacement: Displacement refers to the engine capacity, which is the volume swept by the piston from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, also known as the single-cylinder displacement. It depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. The engine displacement is the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders and is generally expressed in liters (L). Importance of Displacement: Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters. It represents the size of the engine more accurately than the cylinder bore and the number of cylinders. Many performance indicators of the engine are closely related to its displacement.
