How Many Kilowatts is 24 Horsepower Diesel Engine Equivalent to?
2 Answers
24 horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine generally has a cylinder diameter of 115 millimeters, a stroke of 120 millimeters, a rated speed of 2200 rpm, and a rated power of 18 kilowatts, equivalent to 24.48 horsepower. The conversion and introduction of kilowatts are as follows: Conversion: 1 horsepower equals 746 watts equals 0.746 kilowatts, and 1 kilowatt is approximately equal to 1.36 horsepower. The symbol for horsepower is PS, the symbol for watts is W, and the symbol for kilowatts is KW. Kilowatts (KW) and horsepower can be converted, not power and horsepower, because kilowatt is a unit of power. Introduction: Horsepower and kilowatts are units of engine power in automobiles. Engine power refers to how fast the engine works, and the larger the value, the better the power of the engine. Kilowatts are commonly used to express the power of generators, engines, motors, tools, machines, electric heaters, etc. It is also a common unit for expressing the electromagnetic power of radio and television transmission towers.
I used to often help friends calculate the power of car engines. A 24-horsepower diesel engine is roughly equivalent to about 18 kilowatts. The specific calculation is 24 multiplied by 0.7457, approximately 17.9 kilowatts, which we generally round to 18 kilowatts. The horsepower unit is very common in diesel engines, especially in older agricultural vehicles and small trucks, but kilowatts are more international. Nowadays, electric vehicle power meters use kilowatts. Although diesel engines don't have high horsepower, they have strong torque. An output of 18 kilowatts is quite practical for hauling goods and also has low fuel consumption. After converting to kilowatts, you can more clearly compare the efficiency of different engines. For example, an electric car with 18 kilowatts runs more quietly, while a diesel engine is more durable and cost-effective, remaining popular in small-scale transportation.
