What are the differences between 1.5TD and 1.5T?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between 1.5TD and 1.5T: Different RPM: The 1.5T gasoline engine has lower noise and stronger high-speed power; the 1.5TD diesel engine has higher torque, especially at low speeds, which is significantly greater than that of the gasoline engine. Different Fuel Economy: Due to the higher compression ratio of the 1.5TD diesel engine, its thermal efficiency can reach about 44%, while that of the gasoline engine is only 20%-30%. Therefore, the diesel engine consumes less fuel per kilowatt-hour than the gasoline engine, making it more economical. Different Compression Ratios: Both the 1.5T gasoline engine and the 1.5TD diesel engine are four-stroke engines with basically the same working principles. However, due to the different properties of gasoline and diesel, there are some differences between them. The gasoline engine is a spark-ignition engine, while the diesel engine is a compression-ignition engine, and the diesel engine has a higher compression ratio than the gasoline engine.
