What is the Engine External Characteristic Curve?
1 Answers
Engine external characteristic curve refers to the curve showing how power or torque changes with engine speed when measured at full load. Here are the details: 1. Engine characteristic curve: If the functional relationship between engine power, torque, fuel consumption rate and crankshaft speed is represented by a curve, this curve is called the engine characteristic curve. 2. Introduction: When the fuel supply mechanism reaches its maximum position, the total power characteristic is obtained, also known as the engine external characteristic. The characteristics obtained when the fuel supply adjustment mechanism is set to other positions are called partial speed characteristics.
