What Does Compression Ignition Engine Mean?
1 Answers
Compression ignition engine refers to an engine that does not rely on spark plugs to ignite the combustible mixture in the cylinder, but instead uses the high temperature and pressure at the end of the compression stroke to ignite the combustible mixture. All diesel engines are compression ignition engines. Among gasoline engines, only Mazda has developed a compression ignition engine. Compression ignition engines have higher compression ratios, stronger power, and higher efficiency. The Mazda 3 (Axela) is equipped with a compression ignition engine. Its 2.0-liter naturally aspirated compression ignition engine delivers 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, reaching peak power at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. It features a 24V mild hybrid system, direct fuel injection technology, and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
