How many cylinders does the Kawasaki H2R have?
1 Answers
Kawasaki H2R is equipped with a 998cc four-cylinder supercharged engine. Working principle of a supercharged engine: It directly utilizes the engine's output to drive the supercharger, which then delivers high-density air into the cylinders to enhance the engine's power output. This device is mounted on the engine and connected to the engine crankshaft via a belt, deriving power from the engine's output shaft to rotate the supercharger's rotor, thereby pressurizing air into the intake manifold. This type of supercharger is a method to increase power output without enlarging the engine's displacement. Advantages of a supercharged engine: It can increase the boost ratio according to different design requirements, operates stably, has a lower working temperature, longer lifespan, and lower cost. There is no power lag, the power delivery is very smooth, and it reduces environmental pollution.
