What is the conversion between horsepower and kilowatts for diesel engines?
1 Answers
Kilowatts and horsepower can be converted as follows: 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.36 horsepower (ps). The relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Introduction: One power is not a unit of power and cannot be converted. The power unit of a diesel engine is kilowatts, with 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.36 horsepower (ps). 2. Additional explanation: Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power in engineering and technology. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. It is conventionally agreed that 1 metric horsepower is the work required to lift a 75-kilogram object 1 meter in 1 second. Metric horsepower defines 1 metric horsepower as the work done in 1 second to complete 75 kilogram-force·meters of work.
