What does the engine's holding effect mean?
1 Answers
Engine's holding effect refers to engaging a lower gear to slow down the engine speed, lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, and utilizing the compression resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance to brake the driving wheels. According to engine working principles, it can be divided into: 1. Internal combustion engine: Fuel burns inside the engine; 2. External combustion engine: Fuel burns outside the engine; 3. Gas turbine: Combustion produces high-pressure gas, which drives the turbine blades to rotate; 4. Jet engine: An engine that directly generates reactive thrust by high-speed airflow ejected from the nozzle.
