Is a 1.5L Car Engine Sufficient?
1 Answers
A 1.5L car engine is sufficient as long as the vehicle is not fully loaded. Climbing hills and overtaking can be quite effortless. However, if the driver frequently travels on highways or drives on mountainous roads, it is advisable to opt for a vehicle with a larger displacement. The 1.5L designation refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The working principle of a naturally aspirated engine is that it lacks a supercharger; air simply passes through the air filter, throttle, intake manifold, and reaches the cylinders. Gasoline is directly injected into the intake manifold via the fuel injector. The engine consists of: 1. Valve train; 2. Crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism; 3. Ignition system; 4. Cooling system; 5. Lubrication system; 6. Starting system; 7. Fuel supply system.
