What does 280t mean in cars?
1 Answers
280t in cars means the engine torque value is 280T, where T represents a turbocharged engine. Below are relevant details about turbocharged engines in cars:1. Definition: Turbocharging in car engines involves compressing the air or combustible mixture entering the engine cylinders in advance, or compressing and then cooling it, to increase the density of the air or combustible mixture entering the cylinders. This enhances the mass of the charge and, with proper coordination from the fuel supply system, allows more fuel to burn efficiently, thereby improving the engine's power performance, specific power, and fuel economy.2. Working principle: It increases the engine's air intake by compressing air, utilizing the inertial force of the exhaust gases expelled by the engine to drive a turbine. The turbine, in turn, drives a coaxial impeller, which pressurizes the air delivered through the air filter duct, forcing it into the cylinders under increased pressure.
