What is the horsepower of the Yuchai 4108 intercooled engine?
1 Answers
This engine has 140 horsepower. It is a turbocharged diesel engine, and many diesel engines utilize turbocharging technology. Turbocharging technology can increase the engine's air intake without enlarging the engine displacement. By increasing the air intake and correspondingly increasing the fuel injection, the engine's power can be enhanced. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Fuel: The engine uses a mixture of air and fuel as its power source. Increasing the air intake and then the fuel injection effectively raises the amount of fuel in the cylinders. With more fuel in the cylinders, the energy released during each combustion cycle also increases, thereby boosting the engine's power. 2. Turbocharging technology: Initially, turbocharging technology was not applied to automobile engines but was used in aircraft engines. Turbocharging technology addresses the issue of insufficient air intake that aircraft engines face at high altitudes. Later, turbocharged engines were widely adopted in both gasoline and diesel automobile engines.
