Understanding Engine Compression Ratio
What is Compression Ratio?
The compression ratio represents the volume comparison between when the piston is at bottom dead center (BDC) versus top dead center (TDC). It's a crucial factor in engine performance and efficiency.
Why is it Important?
- Higher compression ratios typically result in more power output
- Affects fuel efficiency and engine performance
- Determines required fuel octane rating
- Influences engine longevity and reliability
