What is the maximum number of cylinders in an engine?

[DelStephanie]

The largest engine has fourteen cylinders. The world's largest diesel engine: Fourteen cylinders, with a single cylinder displacement of 1820 liters and a single cylinder power of 7780 horsepower. Total power is 108,920 horsepower (102 rpm). The entire engine weighs 2300 tons. It uses heavy fuel oil, with a thermal efficiency of 50% (typical automotive engines are 25%-30%). Under optimal efficiency conditions, it consumes 6400 liters of fuel per hour. Applications of the 14-cylinder engine: The world's first 14-cylinder low-speed marine diesel engine was installed and put into operation on the large container ship 'Emma Maersk'. This is the world's most powerful low-speed marine diesel engine developed by Wärtsilä Diesel, and also the world's first 14-cylinder low-speed marine diesel engine. The successful construction of this engine represents a major breakthrough in marine propulsion. This engine is the 14-cylinder RT-flex96C marine diesel engine, with a continuous maximum output of 80,080 kW and a speed of 102 rpm. It measures 27.3 meters in length, 13.5 meters in height, and weighs 2300 tons, making it suitable for the new generation of large container ships.
