What is the compression ratio of a diesel engine?
1 Answers
Diesel engine compression ratio generally ranges from 12-22. Here are detailed explanations: Overview: To describe an engine's technical parameters, one can roughly indicate them by the magnitude of power and torque. However, there are many factors affecting power and torque output, one of the important factors being the engine's compression ratio. Others: The compression ratio indicates the degree to which the gas in the cylinder is compressed when the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. The compression ratio is one of the important parameters of an engine. For modern automobile engines, the compression ratio of gasoline engines is generally 8-11 due to the limitation of knocking.
