What does Golf 230tsi mean?
1 Answers
230 refers to the torque category, corresponding to a torque of 225N·m; TSI is the abbreviation for Twincharged (dual charging = Turbocharger + Supercharger) Stratified-Injection; Golf 230TSI means that the model is equipped with a TSI engine with a torque category of 230 N·m. The following is an introduction to turbocharged engines: 1. Principle: A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial impulse of the exhaust gas from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinder. 2. Power: When the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinder. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel. By correspondingly increasing the fuel amount and adjusting the engine speed, the output power of the engine can be enhanced.
