Why don't pure gasoline vehicles have the Atkinson cycle?
1 Answers
Because the Atkinson cycle engine has relatively low torque at low speeds and its efficiency is not very high at low speeds either, pure gasoline vehicles do not adopt the Atkinson cycle. Below is relevant information about gasoline vehicles: 1. The 'L' on a car engine stands for 'liter': It is the unit of displacement. A 2.0L means a displacement of 2 liters, and the engine type is naturally aspirated. 2. 'T' indicates that the engine is equipped with a turbocharger: It has one more turbocharger than a regular naturally aspirated engine. A 1.8T means the engine has a displacement of 1.8 liters and comes with a turbocharger. Transmission.
