Normally, displacement and horsepower are directly proportional. The larger the displacement, the greater the power, and consequently, the higher the horsepower. Below are the relevant introductions to displacement and horsepower: 1. Displacement: Displacement refers to the energy released by the engine per unit time (i.e., converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy). The working volume through which the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. 2. Horsepower: Another expression for horsepower is power. The physical definition of power is the amount of work done by an object per unit time. It can be understood as the amount of energy generated by fuel per unit time. Therefore, power is merely a physical quantity describing the speed of work. The higher the power, the more energy is generated per unit time, and often, the higher the maximum speed of the car. Maximum power is generally expressed in metric horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), where 1PS=0.735kW.

What is the function of the fuel pump return valve?

The function of the fuel pump return valve is to automatically maintain the fuel pressure in the entire oil pressure system at a certain value, ensuring that the difference between the oil pressure in the fuel supply pipe and the intake manifold pressure remains constant (generally 250-300 kPa). Below is a detailed introduction to the fuel pump return valve: 1. Concept: The fuel pressure regulator, also known as the return valve, is the part of the fuel system responsible for regulating internal fuel pressure, controlled by the system oil pressure and intake manifold pressure (negative pressure). 2. Importance: If the fuel pressure regulator malfunctions, it will directly affect the accuracy of fuel injection. Low fuel pressure can cause low idle speed in the vehicle, a feeling of insufficient fuel supply at high speeds, and in severe cases, difficulty starting or even failure to start. In summer, it may lead to insufficient power for operating the air conditioning. High fuel pressure, on the other hand, can result in high idle speed and overly sensitive accelerator pedal response.

How to turn on the heating in BYD S6?

Method to turn on the heating in BYD S6: Rotate the temperature control knob to the red zone, then turn on the fan speed switch. Note that the AC button does not need to be pressed for heating. The car's heating system plays a significant role, especially in winter when it becomes crucial. The heating system not only increases the interior temperature but also helps defog the windows. There are techniques for using the heating system in winter. Particularly when the car is cold-started, the engine temperature is very low. Suddenly turning on the heater will increase engine load, lead to higher fuel consumption, and prolong the time for the coolant temperature to rise. Starting the AC without any preheating will reduce engine efficiency and cause significant damage to the engine itself. The BYD S6 is positioned as a mid-to-high-end domestic SUV, with body dimensions of 4810mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, a wheelbase of 2720mm, and front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration.
