What does the 't' in 2.0t mean?
1 Answers
The 't' in 2.0t stands for turbocharging in a car engine. Here are the relevant explanations: Function: Turbocharging is essentially an air compressor designed to increase the engine's output power. Without altering the engine's cylinder capacity, it achieves this by increasing the compression ratio of the air entering the cylinders. Working principle: It utilizes the exhaust gases from the engine's exhaust port to drive the turbine wheel inside the turbocharger. This turbine wheel is directly connected to the compressor wheel in the compressor housing. One end of the compressor housing is connected to the air filter, while the other end compresses the air drawn from the filter into the engine's cylinders, thereby increasing the amount of air inside the engine.
