How many types of car engines are common?

The types of automobile engines can be divided into two types: naturally aspirated and turbocharged according to the working method of the air intake system. According to the cylinder arrangement type inline engine, V-type engine, W-type engine and horizontally opposed engine.

1, naturally aspirated engine: air by the piston suction into the cylinder.

2, supercharged engine: in order to increase power, the engine is equipped with a supercharger, so that the gas entering the cylinder is compressed beforehand by the compressor before entering the cylinder.

3, in-line vertical engine: all cylinder centerline in the same vertical plane.

4, W-type is actually two sets of V-type unit together. The structure is extremely complex, but more compact and efficient. 5, V-type engine: cylinder centerlines are in two planes, and the two planes intersect in a V-shape.

6, opposed engine: V-type angle of 180 ° is also known as opposed.

In addition, according to the number of cylinders can be divided into single-cylinder engines and multi-cylinder engines. Modern automobiles mostly use three-cylinder, four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder engine.

Cooling can be divided into water-cooled engines and air-cooled engines. Water-cooled engine cooling uniform, reliable, good cooling effect, is widely used in modern car engines.
