What does RPM mean?
1 Answers
RPM stands for revolutions per minute, which indicates the number of rotations the engine makes in one minute. The engine speed directly affects the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the effective power varies with different RPM levels. Therefore, when specifying the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. The operating condition of an engine at its rated power and rated RPM is referred to as the rated operating condition. Most car engines have an economical RPM range where the engine operates more fuel-efficiently. When driving, it is essential to match the gear with both the engine RPM and the driving speed.
